On the one hand, mask mandates are back. On the other hand, the Associated Press says that's all a conspiracy theory. On the other other hand, Covid hospitalizations are up - and there's a scary new variant from... (hurls dart at map of the world) Denmark and... (hurls second dart, backward over shoulder) Israel. On the other other other hand, that eighth shot is sure to work:
Resident liberal & former Democratic Rep. Harold Ford Jr. tells the rest of @TheFive cast that his next Covid shot, which he plans to get, will be his 7th, and he's had Covid 3 times. 🤣🤦♂️👇 pic.twitter.com/g61dOSJCCO — Scott Morefield (@SKMorefield) August 28, 2023
I take it most of the above is just prepping the battlefield for next year's presidential election. But, as you know, I am more interested in the news that doesn't make the news. Which is why this Norman Fenton tweet caught my eye. Many of you will have seen Professor Fenton on The Mark Steyn Show, and some of you will have met him on last month's Mark Steyn Cruise. So I followed the links through to a research paper by two Japanese fellows - Atsushi Tanaka of Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University and Takayuki Miyazawa of Kyoto University.
I don't know these guys. Could be they're just another wing of that big conspiracy theory the AP is banging on about. Professor Tanaka has published peer-reviewed papers on the Significance of N-Sulfation of Heparan Sulfate as a Host Cell Factor for Chikungunya Virus Infection,

Professors Tanaka and Miyazawa's new paper is called:
Unnaturalness in the evolution process of the SARS-CoV-2 variants and the possibility of deliberate natural selection
What does that mean? Well, everyone except the brain-dead and the more aggressive interns of Ofcom's fact-checkers now accepts that the Covid came from a lab leak. How long is it since you've heard anyone even on MSNBC or Facebook say the word "pangolin" with a straight face? But Messrs Tanaka and Miyazawa have taken it to the next level:
In this study, we aimed to clarify the evolutionary processes leading to the formation of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants, focusing on Omicron variants with many amino acid mutations in the spike protein among SARS-CoV-2 isolates. To determine the order in which the mutations leading to the formation of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants, we compared the sequences of 129 Omicron BA.1-related isolates, 141 BA.1.1-related isolates, and 122 BA.2-related isolates, and tried to dissolve the evolutionary processes of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants, including the order of mutations leading to the formation of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants and the occurrence of homologous recombination. As a result, we concluded that the formations of a part of Omicron isolates BA.1, BA.1.1, and BA.2 were not the products of genome evolution as is commonly observed in nature... [EMPHASIS ADDED]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up there. What exactly does that last sentence mean?
The analysis we have shown here is that the Omicron variants are formed by an entirely new mechanism that cannot be explained by previous biology.
Er, okay. But again, what are you really trying to say?
In the genetic variation in the S protein in these variants, most of the mutations were non-synonymous (Fig. 1). There were no synonymous mutations in the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, or Mu variants, but only one each in the Lambda and Omicron variants. Among these variants, the Omicron variant (BA.1 lineage), which shows the greatest accumulation of mutations in the S protein, is primarily non-synonymous in the S protein and has only one synonymous mutation at c25000u. The synonymous/non-synonymous ratio is abnormal, given how human coronaviruses have mutated.
What "synonymous" means in this context is that normally, when something mutates naturally, it does so mostly in ways that don't change the nature of the original: hence, such mutations are merely synonymous. When you have a "synonymous/non-synonymous ratio" as "abnormal" as that of the Covid variants, that means they are not occurring naturally
Viruses do what viruses do.

In the USA, covid hospitalisations are up because of variant EG.5.1 and there’s a scary new variant dubbed BA.X from Denmark and Israel, we’re told. Because of the BA.X variant “scientists” are demanding rules from lockdown be reimposed on Britain.
Mark Steyn pointed out a recent Japanese study showing that all previous SARS-CoV-2 variants were not naturally occurring and were made in a laboratory. Based on this we can make the presumption that the new EG.5.1 and BA.X variants have been as well, irrespective of which country is claiming the variant as its own.
For their study, Atsuki Tanaka and Takayuki Miyazawa, of Osaka Medical University and Kyoto University, wanted to trace the historical evolution of the omicron variant of SARS-CoV2 by studying viral sequences found “in the wild” and deposited in public databases.
In doing this they found around 100 separate omicron subvariants that could not conceivably have arisen through natural processes. The existence of these variants seems to provide definitive proof of large-scale lab creation and release of covid viruses.
Moreover, the variants appear to form comprehensive panels of mutations typical of those used in “reverse genetics” experiments to systematically test the properties of different parts of viruses
Naturally, a virus will tend to mutate toward the idea of mass infections and mildness. If it is virulent, it kills the host, it doesn’t go anywhere. So, it will exchange information with other viruses and become more mild over time.
If it is not becoming more mild, that would suggest that it is being mutated in a lab with the into of keeping its virulency up.
My wife and I are ready, willing and able to donate the shots/boosters that were aimed our direction -- and assiduosly were avoided -- to all the Lefty believers who would like a 7th, and beyond.
"Take one for the team?" We're not on your team. Nor have we been ill.

I think the ‘regular’ flu is/was always variating. My doc always asked if I wanted a flu shot, and I always declined. He would say well, it’s only about 50% effective coz of the variants.
covid seems to just be a flu. meh
The pharmaceutical companies, with each new clot shot they produce.
Yes, but Covid does as man designed…
>Viruses do what viruses do.<
What I gathered from reading the article (shame on me) is this virus isn’t doing what viruses do.

“it is being mutated in a lab with the into of keeping its virulency up.”
Purposely mutated to make it restaurant to Ivermectin probably. People I know who’ve had Covid recently have been faithful Ivermectin users, and never had Covid until now.
Restaurant = resistant.
It looks like the abnormal ratio discussed concerns the spike protein.
It could be that, due to the pfizer and moderna shots focusing on the spike protein is what caused this.
Real vaccines use inactive forms of the entire virus hence your immune system is trained to respond to the entire capsid of the virus, not just one small part.
The omicron variant appeared as the vax was being rolled out. Since the focus of the vax was that one protein, it makes sense that the bulk of mutation would be in that area.
Note, I don’t claim to be an expert but, unlike experts, I know what a woman is.
Thanks.
