“This Blood Type Could Make You More Vulnerable to COVID-19”. This Time article suggests that the CoVID virus has attachments similar to blood type A antigens, that attach to blood type A cells.
A bit over a year ago, you linked to this Vanity Fair article: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/03/the-virus-hunting-nonprofit-at-the-center-of-the-lab-leak-controversy. It discussed a “furin cleavage site”, apparently with a precise design to attack human cells.
Have these claims been ruled out or shown to be baseless?
If they are true, the CoVID virus was not only leaked but weaponized.
