[House Atreides]

“The vaccines are based on sequences, not live virus. The PCR is based on sequences, not live virus.”
********************************************************
I think you’re being intentionally “thick”. As you know the virus causing COVID-19 is made of RNA. An RNA strand has a backbone made of alternating sugar (ribose) and phosphate groups. Attached to each sugar is one of four bases—adenine (A), uracil (U), cytosine (C), or guanine (G). It’s a simplification but the “sequence” of the virus is simply what you get if you read, in order or sequence, and “map” the A, U, C, and G makeup of the RNA strand in the actual virus. For some strange reason, you and your compadres seem to want everyone to believe that the success of our vaccines is owed to the Chinese and we couldn’t have done it without them. NEWSFLASH: We can read the series of A’s, U’s, C’s and G’s of a new virus as well or better than than the Chinese. We developed the technology to do so and the Chinese obtained that technology from us.

The “sequences” of the virus were not picked out of the air ... they came from the “mapping” of the virus.

By the heathen Chinee.

Chinee virus.

Chinee vax.

What a sucker you are.

And you're impressed with yourself because you can quote literal 9th grade biology?

ransomnote: To anyone following along, I never said that the sequences were picked out of the air, I said they came from China’s mapping of the virus.

Ultimately, comparing House Atreides comment to mine, you can decide if he agrees with me.
