better article from a more legitimate source where they clarify explicitly not a gain of function experiment, and contrary to OP's headline, did not make the virus more contagious or deadly. From what I understand, put in plain terms, they combined 2 strains of the virus in order to prove that it was not the spike protein that made omicron more deadly.
