In keeping with the hypothesis that many different forms of lethal cellular and molecular action were built into the SARS-CoV-2 bioweapon structure, including HIV, furin cleavage site etc., I'm wondering if they also used information known about the mechanisms of cystic fibrosis to incorporate relevant sequences and promote cystic fibrosis-like results in the lungs.
Maybe someone has already looked at the cystic fibrosis connection, but I haven't seen it come up by name yet in my own research trawling - Just passing it along in case it's a useful line of investigation for you.
