[FCS]"One vital step is the cleavage of the spike protein, which activates viral fusion with the cell membrane. Many viruses, including the deadliest, like Ebola, have furin cleavage sites (FCS) in their spike proteins to facilitate cleavage. However, in the clade of viruses containing SARS-CoV-2, Sarbecoviruses, none had an FCS…until now."
"When virologist and Nobel Prize winner David Baltimore first saw that the FCS was inserted in SARS-CoV-2, he said it “was the smoking gun for the [lab] origin of the virus.”
[CODONs]
"The closest genetic match for SARS-CoV-2 is a virus, RaTg13, that killed 6 miners exposed to bat guano in a cave in China’s Yunnan Province in 2012 with symptoms nearly identical to Covid. Analysis of the coding regions for the spike protein in both viruses yielded 200 mutations, all of them synonymous. That is, the codon was changed but still coded for the same amino acid."
"Every time there is a mutation to a codon, there is only a 15% chance it will be synonymous. The likelihood that 200 synonymous mutations occurred by chance is so low it wouldn’t be expected to happen in the expected lifetime of the universe. Clearly, the WIV used codon optimization in creating SARS-CoV-2."
[Conclusion]
"Six million dead worldwide, the entire world economy ravaged, trust in our institution destroyed, and all because cavalier gain-of-function researchers in Wuhan, financed and assisted by the U.S. government, created and
accidentally (at least, we hope)unleashed its chimeric Frankenstein pathogen into the world—all in the name ofsciencedethroning the Leader of the Free World and also pre-empting the millions who participated in the Hong Kong protests. Many of the world’s worst have done less damage in the name of genocide and conquest."
The one thing he missed: the Chinese had already tested a similar bioweapon -- MERS-COv -- and it failed with something like R0.2 because they did not have the furin cleavage site perfected until they released COVID-19.
I hate that I have to become aware or even conversant in things like FCS and CODONs.
I appreciate knowledge, but damn. That said, if I have to have a passing awareness of things like this, I thought the author did a fine job of discussing these things in an understandable way.
Quotes like: “...The likelihood that 200 synonymous mutations occurred by chance is so low it wouldn’t be expected to happen in the expected lifetime of the universe...” make one understand that is isn’t a naturally occuring event, similar to the fabled flipping of a coin and having it come up “heads” a thousand times in a row.
But then again, monkeys at typewriters for eternity may eventually produce Shakespeare...
Fascinating new jab information. A few weeks ago brother with liver cancer from treated colon cancer proudly announced he now had his 2nd Covid booster. His liver lessions had been shrinking, now they are worse. I am doing a deep dive in science studies after learning about significant increase in immune factor IgG4 after 3rd and 4th jabs. This not seen with other vaccines. There is something called IgG4-RD (Related Disease), which causes lesions doctors have confused with cancer lesions. More later after more digging.
