Look like that they got a classical case of PCR Cross-Contamination.
They had 2 fabricated samples (SRX9714436 and SRX9714921) on the same PCR run. Alongside with Lung07. They did not perform metagenomic sequencing on the “feces” and they did not get

A positive oral or anal swab from anywhere in their sampling. Feces came from anus and if these were positive the anal swabs must also be positive. Clearly it got there after the NA have been extracted and were from the very low-level degraded RNA which were mutagenized from
The Taq. https://t.co/yKXCgiT29w to see SRX9714921 and SRX9714436.
Human+Mouse in the positive SRA, human in both of them. Seeing human+mouse in identical proportions across 3 different sequencers (PRJNA573298, A22, SEX9714436) are pretty straight indication that the originals
Were already contaminated with Human and mouse from the very beginning, and that this contamination is due to dishonesty in the sample handling process which prescribe a spiking of samples in ACE2-HEK293T/A549, VERO E6 and Human lung xenograft mouse.
The “lineages” they claimed to have found aren’t mutational lineages at all—all the mutations they see on these sequences were unique to that specific sequence, and are the result of RNA degradation and from the Taq polymerase errors accumulated from the nested PCR process
Where the extremely low error-ridden cross-contaminating molecule were amplified with mutagenesis happening on each step—especially between the initial RT-PCR and sequencing PCR process, which cross contamination have happened. Notice that any extra Pro or Cys on the highly
Conserved N protein sequences are lethal to the virus—especially the extra Cys which will become a nucleophile and a Ribonuclease in the budded virion in an extracellular environment, degrading the genome and inactivating the virus immediately. These Cys will also cause the N to
Dimerize and consequently lose it’s ability to bind RNA or mediate virion assembly in the first place. While the Pro will break a conserved secondary structure in the C-terminal domain and prevent the N from folding correctly. These are not found anywhere else and are obviously
Sequencing errors. Especially since these samples came from cross-contamination without a corresponding positive oral or anal swab (they didn’t get a single swab that is positive).
M1, they cite as having “hemorrhage” claimed to be Coronavirus symptoms, are anything BUT coronavirus symptoms. https://t.co/3a8nqY6rOz “Open in new tab
X-ray tests revealed a large area of shadow in the left lung of pangolin 2-Lishui, suggestive of pneumonia” but
“we have not found coronaviruses in these pangolins by meta-transcriptomic and PCR methods.”. Notice the PLT- in the Pestivirus-infected pangolin samples. Pestivirus is seen in the SRA of M1, SRX7756769 (107267359 spots as in the Xiao et al article). The Pestivirus is seen
In all PRJNA573298 sample lungs, and it causes interstitial pneumonia and gives the same kind of CT scan and blood test result as in the 06/22 article. This sample also contained a locally circulating CCoV (Canine Coronavirus, often infects zoo/rescued solitary animals due to
It’s ubiquitous nature in most human-associated environments) strain with reads that weren’t rolling circles as the GD-1 reads and are mostly related to the Canine Coronavirus isolates circulating in dogs in GZ.
Coronavirus infections can not generate rolling circles as they does not encode RNA ligases, an enzyme that is necessary to create a true CircRNA. (What they claim to be CircRNA reads from CoV infections in other papers aren’t true CircRNA but are Partially duplicated RNA due to
The Coronavirus RdRp template-switching to a location before it’s current location. This RNA is still linear. However, the Rolling Circles corresponds to two hotspots of M13 primers seen in the amplicons for nsp3 and for the 3’-end of the genome. This imply that they were
Remnants of cDNA cloning, stemming from DNA that were circularized without a vector backbone.)
Canine Coronavirus and FIPV (alphacoronavirus 1) infections also generate very similar symptoms, and will result in positive cross-reactive NP in the immunofluorescence screening. Even the right GEO profile provide they remove it from the final SRA. Finally, the ACE2 expression
“Lowest in the lungs” claimed in this paper is at odd with the 06/22 paper claim that “ACE2 and TMPRSS2 is most highly expressed in the lungs”. This suggest that the GEO profile of the 06/22 article associated with A22/SRX8582289 have been fabricated or were derived from hACE2
Mouse. The hemorrhage seen in M1 is consistent with DYPV(Flavivirus/pestivirus related to BVDV) which is seen in the metagenome, while the pneumonia could be either be the result of DYPV-related Pestivirus, from the Sendai (murine respirovirus), from the Canine Coronavirus or
From any of the non-Coronavirus (Colitivirus or Murine Respirovirus) agents found in PRJNA573298.
M1 have Murine Respirovirus.

SeV is in the same family as human Parainfluenza virus. It causes bilateral ground-glass opacity.
https://t.co/NeY2ajwsDo
The blood tests—pestivirus once again fully explains all the blood changed observed. When a Parainfluenza virus is also present, the blood test become indistinguishable.
Another snRNA-seq say ACE2 and TMPRSS2 are barely exiressed in the lungs and are never coexpressed.
Weaker than the kidneys—this is again at odds with the SCAU claim that even negative pangolins have lung>>kidney for ACE2. Both publication say that Kidney is the highest ACE2 expressing organ in all pangolins where lung expression is negligible. The 06/22 article is the only
One that claim that all pangolins including negative samples, have lung ACE2 >> Kidney. This indicate that they have Spiked all of them with K12-hACE2 mouse as it is in disagreement of all previous or later pangolin transcriptomes.
“(Individual number: L08) as a positive control”—and guess what L08 actually is—Human AND Mice!
L08: Lung08.

Unfortunately the "This work includes the identification of viral sequences in bat samples, and has resulted in the isolation of three bat SARS-related coronaviruses that are now used as reagents to test therapeutics and vaccines." were BEFORE the

starting in 2016. Also remember that they told about only 3 isolates/live viruses. RsSHC014 is a live infectious clone that is just as alive as those other "Isolates".

@pathogenetics @ggronvall Contraband animals were prohibited in an 2017 revision fo the CCP’s own “wildlife protection law”. This targets the main reason for consumption, which is to brag as a social status. No animals or their meat were ever sold in wet markets or online after that date. The only things

@pathogenetics @ggronvall Ever sold after the date were desiccated and sun-dried parts for use in jewelry and for medicine. They are always thoroughly dried out which would inactivate all enveloped viruses incl. all coronaviruses within them if they were present.

@WisdomRebel thesis, and Stu once again lied about it. https://t.co/Uiy8U9BTYp significant evidence in the form of contaminated SRA datasets suggest that the DEFUSE grant have been funded in China, as the full-length HKU4 is not a part of the 2016-2019 grant, but is found before the start

@WisdomRebel Date of the 2020-2024 grant of June 2020. The WIV also contained several HKU3-like Coronaviruses, particularly in mice in an 2017 GEO experiment, which is consistent with the published HKU3 and batified mice experiment in the DEFUSE document (evidence from an already conducted

@WisdomRebel Experiment). Either DEFUSE or fast-tracked form of the 2020-2024 grant in 2019 would have lead to full-length Sarbecovirus clones being used, leading to SARS-CoV-2 in the lab—they used HKU4 in stead of HKU5 for the MERS spike experiment indicating that backbone sequence distance

I want to share my thoughts, as someone who has been so alarmed by the so-called "dissident" scientists like Gupta, Heneghan, Kuldorff, Bhattacharya, & Ioannidis who consider themselves brave Galileos unfairly treated by "establishment scientists." I will try not to swear. 1/n


I want to talk about 3 things:
‼️Their fringe views are inhumane, unethical junk science that promotes harm
‼️They complain that they've been marginalized but this is simply untrue
‼️I am sick of people telling me we have to "listen to both sides." There aren't 2 sides here 2/n

These 'dissident' scientists have consistently downplayed COVID-19, urging policymakers not to take aggressive control measures. They claim it is not a serious threat. Gupta even went on TV saying people under 65 shouldn't worry about it!

RECEIPTS

They have consistently argued that policymakers should just let the virus rip, in an attempt to reach herd immunity by natural infection. Kuldorff *continues* to argue for this even now that we have many highly effective, safe vaccines.


We've never controlled a deadly, contagious pandemic before by just letting the virus spread, as this approach kills & disables too many people. In Manaus, Brazil, 66% of the city was infected & an astonishing *1 in 500* people died of COVID-19
@mugecevik is an excellent scientist and a responsible professional. She likely read the paper more carefully than most. She grasped some of its strengths and weaknesses that are not apparent from a cursory glance. Below, I will mention a few points some may have missed.
1/


The paper does NOT evaluate the effect of school closures. Instead it conflates all ‘educational settings' into a single category, which includes universities.
2/

The paper primarily evaluates data from March and April 2020. The article is not particularly clear about this limitation, but the information can be found in the hefty supplementary material.
3/


The authors applied four different regression methods (some fancier than others) to the same data. The outcomes of the different regression models are correlated (enough to reach statistical significance), but they vary a lot. (heat map on the right below).
4/


The effect of individual interventions is extremely difficult to disentangle as the authors stress themselves. There is a very large number of interventions considered and the model was run on 49 countries and 26 US States (and not >200 countries).

An interesting thing about carp is that they can go into anoxic hibernation and switch to an anaerobic metabolism based on converting glycogen to ethanol.

The waste ethanol is diffused out the gills

https://t.co/V3D1umHf04

Carp can switch over to an anaerobic metabolism and quietly exhale booze until the situation gets better.

They basically evolved the same metabolic pathway as yeast, independently.

In theory, if you spent a few thousand years breeding carp for it, you could use them to make booze.

They'd be enormous, almost entirely glycogen deposits with a fish added as an afterthought.

The really interesting thing about anaerobic carp, is that they can go 4-5 months without oxygen by relying on liver glycogen.

You, a human, have only about 100 grams of glycogen in your liver, about 400 more grams in your skeletal muscles. Call it 500 grams total.

In humans, glycogen is also burned for energy. This is where the marathon runner's bonk comes from: you only have about 2,000 calories worth, and running a marathon burns those 2,000 calories.
1. I find it remarkable that some medics and scientists aren’t raising their voices to make children as safe as possible. The comment about children being less infectious than adults is unsupported by evidence.


2. @c_drosten has talked about this extensively and @dgurdasani1 and @DrZoeHyde have repeatedly pointed out flaws in the studies which have purported to show this. Now for the other assertion: children are very rarely ill with COVID19.

3. Children seem to suffer less with acute illness, but we have no idea of the long-term impact of infection. We do know #LongCovid affects some children. @LongCovidKids now speaks for 1,500 children struggling with a wide range of long-term symptoms.

4. 1,500 children whose parents found a small campaign group. How many more are out there? We don’t know. ONS data suggests there might be many, but the issue hasn’t been studied sufficiently well or long enough for a definitive answer.

5. Some people have talked about #COVID19 being this generation’s Polio. According to US CDC, Polio resulted in inapparent infection in more than 99% of people. Severe disease occurred in a tiny fraction of those infected. Source:
Ever since @JesseJenkins and colleagues work on a zero carbon US and this work by @DrChrisClack and colleagues on incorporating DER, I've been having the following set of thoughts about how to reduce the risk of failure in a US clean energy buildout. Bottom line is much more DER.


Typically, when we see zero-carbon electricity coupled to electrification of transport and buildings, implicitly standing behind that is totally unprecedented buildout of the transmission system. The team from Princeton's modeling work has this in spades for example.

But that, more even than the new generation required, runs straight into a thicket/woodchipper of environmental laws and public objections that currently (and for the last 50y) limit new transmission in the US. We built most transmission prior to the advent of environmental law.

So what these studies are really (implicitly) saying is that NEPA, CEQA, ESA, §404 permitting, eminent domain law, etc, - and the public and democratic objections that drive them - will have to change in order to accommodate the necessary transmission buildout.

I live in a D supermajority state that has, for at least the last 20 years, been in the midst of a housing crisis that creates punishing impacts for people's lives in the here-and-now and is arguably mostly caused by the same issues that create the transmission bottlenecks.
