Thank you for the link. I agree it’s complicated.
I didn’t see error correction. Perhaps replication fidelity and nsp14?
One thing that struck me is there are 7 coronaviruses. Three of them started recently - SARS in 2002, MERS in w012 and Covid in 2019. Perhaps they all came from labs.
The article mentioned that ACE inhibitors and blockers are probably helpful for Covid, although this wasn’t the early thinking.
The article mentioned chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, unfavorably. HCQ causes phospholipidosis, which was confused with anti-viral efficacy.
I got the sense that section 4.5 on vaccines was written as propaganda by a different author. It covers:
Successful
Some people refuse
Shifted to convincing
Sufficient hosts for the virus to mutate
Boosters
Complicated but I agree with you about nsp14.
Come from labs? SARS 1 and MERS are certainly a result of zoonosis. SARS2 could be from dump and hope in a lab because I know there were researchers around the world doing that with corona viruses. It is not "genetic engineering" as such IMHO, but artificial selection in gain of function experiments.
You are astute and I am inclined to see the propagandist you mentioned regarding vaccines. As to HCQ I like what gas_dr said about it here on FR. He said it was a "weak force" when what he needed was a strong force. Very disappointing but not useless. He was a trooper, pumping zinc into people because we told him that was the magic that made HCQ work. , and watching them die anyway. Tough tough...
