@Turkleton @Jonny @Doll @Diceyocean @CaptainFuggetaboutit @Frondeur @Shlomo @dubbub @givenup No, the breakthrough was thanks to patented dna strand, the spike protein, that gave some basic bitch corona strain virus such potent virality. This was accomplished in a joint cooperation in China.

What we're implying is that similar research was happening in UA with different methods. Californian flu was the outcome, thankfully not as potent nor transmissible.

GAE can't legally perform gain of function and some other types of research and especially bioweapons research on it's territory, so it's offshoring it's dirty work all over the world.
