The man-made virus is threatening our life once again. American researcher Andrew Huff has already claimed that SARS-CoV-2 was developed in the laboratory. Many scientists earlier downplayed or dismissed the hypothesis that the virus could have leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China, and this concept has been concealed by a larger group of scientists and doctors.
Epidemiologist Andrew Huff has worked with the Wuhan Institute in the past. In his book, ‘The Truth About Wuhan’ Andrew Huff said, “China knew from the first day that the virus spreading around the world was genetically engineered. But the US government is also to blame for handing over such dangerous biotechnology to China.”
In the last two years, the new form of Coronavirus named BF.7 has spread to 91 countries. This variant is causing fear in China. It is reported that more than 10 lakh people are infected with this new subtype every day in that country. But experts claim that this new form of Covid-19 was already there and the virus had spread to 91 countries in the last 2 years before it took hold in China.
According to data published by Scripps Research Institute, the gene structure and character of BF.7 matched a prototype of the coronavirus that has spread to 91 countries since February 2021. But in these 91 countries, it has not been able to spread much influence or harm in the data. An Indian scientist of “INSACOG” said that the name of the prototype was later given as BF.7. INSACOG, an initiative of the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, was created on 30 December 2020 to study and monitor the genome sequencing and virus characterization of Covid-19.

BF.7 is the Omicron form of coronavirus. Various virologists and epidemiologists do not consider this new variant to be much of a concern for now. Experts also claim that since it was identified on February 26 last year, about 48,000 samples of corona patients have been found worldwide.
“Insacog’s Genome Sequencing researcher told the press, “Despite its presence in several countries in the last 22 months, BF.7 has not caused significant damage. So there is no reason to fear now.”
If so, why is there so much panic about BF.7? That’s because China sees this kind of aggressive attitude. However, Indian scientists claim that indifference to the corona vaccine in that country is one of the reasons for the sudden increase in infection.
There have been instances in which viruses that were created or released by humans have caused harm. For example, in 2002, the SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) virus emerged in China and spread to other parts of the world, leading to a global outbreak. In 2020, the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic began, which has had significant impacts on the health and well-being of people around the world.
It is true that humans have the capacity to harm each other and create conflict and suffering. It is important to strive for a balance between these two aspects of human nature and to recognize that every individual has the ability to make choices that can positively or negatively impact others. So, if the concept – “downsizing the global population” becomes strong in people’s minds, scientists will be responsible for that.
Now, people believe that SARS-CoV-2 was developed in the laboratory and it is a man-made virus.
