The key question. Which further begs the question, why would the very people who dropped the rona on us intentionally, give us the proper sequence.
That is the whole purpose of this exercise, neh?

Nope, just check. It was a serious question. As semimojo noted, the do compare sequences to target strains, so clearly there has been some cross checking.
What I'd like to know is what was in the original Chinese sequence that is missing from later sequencing.
I've heard rumors that the original sequence has spongiform encephalopathy prions as one of the spike proteins.
They cause mad cow's disease in bovines and, variant form of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease in humans.
If this spike was chosen for an mRNA vaccine target would vaccinated people get what we might call "mad dragon disease"? (I hereby claim priority on "mad dragon disease"!)
If all y’all will excuse me, I need to be away from keyboard for a while. My somewhat Alzheimer’s addled mom needs some care today.
I may get some sporadic moments, but I’m not ignoring you between times!

I want the T-shirt license to the “mad dragon disease”!
