Going to the Source to Prevent Viral Disease Outbreaks

[email protected]
1/4/2018

@jhas5 @rubic3n @BillyBostickson

2/

"When you consider the VIDs that emerged and reemerged around the world in 2017, what many of them have in common is that they originated in animals and spilled over into humans after a series of mutations that enable the pathogens to jump

3/

PREEMPT aims to advance understanding of viruses and their interaction with animals, insects, and humans, and deliver new, proactive interventions to reduce the risk from emerging and reemerging pathogens.

4/

“DARPA wants to reorient preparedness efforts to make them more proactive, so that instead of only modeling the trajectory of an epidemic as it spreads from H2H, we contain and suppress diseases in the animal species in which they originate before they can jump into people.”

5/

PREEMPT will have 2 technical thrusts: development of multiscale models and test beds to quantify the imminent emergence and reemergence of human pathogens; and development of new, scalable approaches to preventing pathogen spillover and transmission from animals and vectors

The documents offer a glimpse into the military-academic complex of scientists who study how to prevent spillovers of potential pandemic pathogens from bats, raising questions about contagion risks, for example, of shipping of bats and rats infected with dangerous pathogens.

1/x Fort Detrick History
Mr. Patrick, one of the chief scientists at the Army Biological Warfare Laboratories at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Md., held five classified US patents for the process of weaponizing anthrax.

2/x
Under Mr. Patrick’s direction, scientists at Fort Detrick developed a tularemia agent that, if disseminated by airplane, could cause casualties & sickness over 1000s mi². In a 10,000 mi² range, it had 90% casualty rate & 50% fatality rate

3/x His team explored Q fever, plague, & Venezuelan equine encephalitis, testing more than 20 anthrax strains to discern most lethal variety. Fort Detrick scientists used aerosol spray systems inside fountain pens, walking sticks, light bulbs, & even in 1953 Mercury exhaust pipes

4/x After retiring in 1986, Mr. Patrick remained one of the world’s foremost specialists on biological warfare & was a consultant to the CIA, FBI, & US military. He debriefed Soviet defector Ken Alibek, the deputy chief of the Soviet biowarfare program
https://t.co/sHqSaTSqtB

5/x Back in Time
In 1949 the Army created a small team of chemists at "Camp Detrick" called Special Operations Division. Its assignment was to find military uses for toxic bacteria. The coercive use of toxins was a new field, which fascinated Allen Dulles, later head of the CIA

3. Sosuga Virus
In 2012, a female wildlife biologist experienced fever, malaise, headache, generalized myalgia and arthralgia, neck stiffness, and a sore throat shortly after returning to the United States from a 6-week field expedition to South Sudan and Uganda.

4. She was hospitalized, after which a maculopapular rash developed and became confluent. When the patient was discharged from the hospital on day 14, arthralgia and myalgia had improved, oropharynx ulcerations had healed, the rash had resolved without desquamation

5. blood counts & hepatic enzyme levels returned to reference levels. After several known suspect pathogens were ruled out as the cause of her illness, deep sequencing & metagenomics analysis revealed a novel paramyxovirus related to rubula-like viruses isolated from fruit bats

I must say it, @K_G_Andersen never ends to surprise me with his compelling arguments... If you want to figure out why Wade is wrong you can Google it 🤣😂🤣

Here he downplays the FCS of SARS2. These fragments do not really come and go all the time. I am not aware of experiments on CoV where the FCS arose by cell or animal passage. More on the FCS here:
https://t.co/oyPKBVVG4f

The FCS is unique in the whole Sarbecovirus group to which SARS2 belongs. Here other reasons why it should be taken seriously. The codon used for arginine is very rare in CoVs but it translates very well in humans.https://t.co/s7q6Ynh7NY https://t.co/lHcshQp2Uq pic.twitter.com/kXKKb8FIk7

Here he refers to RmYN02, which has no insertion at the S1/S2 cleavage site
https://t.co/0Goapx6cXj
https://t.co/zEALrUUj8F
And to Gallaher's paper, with the fanciful theory of recombination on a train to Wuhan
Recombination is rare outside its group +
https://t.co/DBs7RMeq4X

As also my co-author @ydeigin says
https://t.co/qrOG0nlIzR
the FCS could be not optimal because part of a vaccine attenuation strategy
https://t.co/tHWG1Igf7Q
Andersen admitted to be wrong with his prediction of the O-linked glycans

Could the uncharacteristic furin cleavage site in SARS2 have been a part of a vaccine attenuation strategy? You know, the pan-coronavirus vaccine that Fauci, Daszak and other have dreamed about? https://t.co/EpSXwzfBD6
— Yuri Deigin (@ydeigin) May 9, 2021

The FCS might be similar at the aa level to some FCoV sequences, but less at the nt level.
https://t.co/Hvi3azygu6
Andersen does not mention that the FCS binds extremely well to heparan sulphate as possible result of cell passage
https://t.co/s7q6Ynh7NY

indeed. at the nucleotide level the FCS differ in the wobble bases. I initially thought of cold-adapted live-attenuated feline vaccines, which can be administered intranasally (e.g. Felocell FIP IN). pic.twitter.com/bcwdAEphlA
