A disease spawned to sell vaccines

Many people are convinced that this virus was manufactured by
pharmaceutical groups to sell vaccines.
However, thanks to China's release of Covid-19 genome sequence,
several laboratories around the world could quickly develop a
vaccine for commercialization.
In fact, the Peter Doherty Institute, in Australia, was one of the
centers that decided to work on the development of the vaccine,
managing to reproduce the virus and evaluate it in collaboration
with the American Mount Sinai Hospital and the National Center
for Biotechnology (CNB) of Spain.
The carrier was a bat
Although these animals were pointed out by some scientists as the culprits for
the origin of the coronavirus, nothing has yet been proven.
The theory came after pulmonologist Zhong Nanshan, head of the team of
Chinese experts investigating the coronavirus, claimed that this germ was very
similar to one found in a bat in 2017.
However, Zhong pointed out that the virus would not have reached the humans
directly but through an animal ‘‘ mediator ‘‘, which has not been identified..
