Episode: Furin Cleavage Site Is Key To Uncovering Covid’s Origin: Professor & Vaccine Inventor Nikolai Petrovsky Reveals ACE2 Research with Dr. Kelly Victory
Description: Nikolai Petrovsky – a professor & vaccine inventor – examined advanced computer models of animal ACE2 receptors as part of an investigation into the real origins of COVID-19. He uncovered new details that appear to conflict with the idea that SARS-CoV-2 crossed to humans through bats.One key finding is the presence of the Furin Cleavage Site, which is unique to SARS-CoV-2.
