According to the Daily Mail, a team of scientists from Massachusetts and Florida took a spike protein from the original virus and added it to the Omicron virus. The combination of the two viruses mixed together resulted in killing eight out of the ten mice that were infected with the spiked protein.
The research involved tinkering with viruses to make them more lethal or infectious. The experiment was conducted with the hopes of getting ahead of a future outbreak.
