HERE’s THE ANALOGY THAT Jason Kaelber, a Rutgers University virologist uses:
“It’s like seeing the blessed virgin in a piece of toast, the restriction sites that she finds are commonly occurring elsewhere in Sars-Cov-2 and in other related viruses and if you were to engineer in restriction sites to manipulate the spike gene, I certainly wouldn’t do it like that, there’s much better ways to do that,”
This is the scientist that “ hasn’t even gone looking” because these things happen in nature all the time...
Yikes.
RE: From Jason Kaelber: “if you were to engineer in restriction sites to manipulate the spike gene, I certainly wouldn’t do it like that, there’s much better ways to do that,”
Just because He would not do it like that doesn’t mean that other scientists won’t do such an experimentation. What he would do and what others would do are not scientific arguments.
I’ll read this. I d/l her paper and saw the Tucker interview live.
Aside from the snarky ad-hominem attack on Dr. Yan’s intelligence there is a fundamental misunderstanding in the logic of this argument. Dr. Yan is not asserting that the virus was genetically edited only that it was developed in a laboratory using in vitro techniques to achieve “gain of function” capabilities. The fact that this virus has been determined by independent Australian virologists to be optimized to attack the human ACE2 receptor is suspicious from a natural selection standpoint.
Until we have a blue ribbon panel of respected virologist experts review this and provide a report to the nation like the Challenger report we will never be sure what to believe. The risk is to our security if this was an intentional bioweapon attack and we don’t even recognize it as such.
