The company Seegene said the development of the new test kit was a response to the “international emergency” recently declared by the WHO due to the spread of the monkeypox virus. The overarching goal is to create a “world free of all disease”. Their bold statement is however dubious since such a world belies the usefulness of the enterprise.
According to the company, the new test is designed to detect both the Clade 1 and Clade 2 variants of the Mpox virus. According to a company statement, the test is designed to enable early differentiation of Mpox infections, which could be particularly important given the long incubation period of up to 21 days. Infections can be detected early using the new test. The test is also designed to be able to differentiate between the two Mpox viruses.
The WHO has declared a state of emergency due to the Mpox variant Clade 1.
The company also hopes to be able to distribute their new product worldwide again. “We will work closely with governments around the world that require assays and plan to supply them with products that meet the needs of their respective markets,” said Daniel Shin, Executive Vice-President and Chief Global Sales and Marketing Officer at the South Korean company.
With so much money again at stake, it probably won’t be long before the next pandemic.
Sir Richard Dearlove, former head of M16, speculated on Covid origins in January 2023 in an interview with GBN: “I do think it was a leak from gain of function experiments conducted in the Wuhan Institute in China. The evidence for that is, I would say, overwhelming.”
Dearlove added that the chance of Covid spreading through “zoonotic jumping from animals into humans” was “very small”. While Dearlove expressly blamed China, US FOIA documents show that US scientist Ralph Baric had initiated engineered SARS-like chimeras and that the origins of these lab chimeras began with US researchers.
The NIH as well as the NIAID had been funding the Corona virus research well before 2013 as this paper shows. In 2003, they demonstrated virus replication using humanized ACE2 receptor in mice.
