Furin Cleavage Site Is Key To Uncovering Covid’s Origin: Professor & Vaccine Inventor Nikolai Petrovsky Reveals ACE2 Research with Dr. Kelly Victory – Ask Dr. Drew – Episode 216
14 May 2023
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. Despite theories of mutation or recombination, the origins of this site remain unclear. The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 is highly similar to that of a coronavirus found in pangolins, leading to speculation that the pangolin may have played a role. The research appears to suggest that the virus was already adapted to infect humans at the start of the pandemic, as it bound most strongly to human ACE2 receptors compared to other animal receptors studied. Professor Nikolai Petrovsky, founder and research director of Vaxine, is a world-renowned expert in vaccine development and immunology. He developed Covax-19 / SpikoGen® vaccine that was approved for use in Iran in October 2021, becoming the first successful human vaccine developed in Australia in the last 40 years.
