News tidbits featuring Daszak, Baric, and also Fauci money and new GOF work.

and the US may be getting new and improved "Healthy" labels on food packaging.

Healthy label changes in the US are on the way, along with more sodium restrictions. Limits on total fat are being removed from restrictions for being considered “Healthy”, which is not a bad thing. Is coconut or olive oil junk food?

Shiny bauble out of the way, #BaricforJail #DaszakforJail

Nov. 21, 2019 Peter Daszak makes it clear that Ralph Baric had proven that SARS could be sequenced with a spike that enters humanized mice and that monoclonal antibodies and vaccines didn’t work against it.

And here is the summary of the Twitter conversation between Peter Daszak and Andrew Rambaud in one picture.

The paper showing that all the monkeys died eventually because of non-neutralizing antibodies having formed to the vaccine. They got severely sick when next exposed to the virus.

Fauci bucks in play again, the cat tells it well:

Nutshell, some idiots put the Omicron spike on an ancestral version Sars2 and came up with a SARS3 that escapes vaccine induced immunity like Omicron but causes severe lung symptoms like SARS2 and 80% mortality (in mice), which is not like SARS2. Let’s hope they don’t plan to visit the international war games with a head cold.

*And the biggest idiots, the US tax-payers, funded it - NIH funded in part.

Reddit Thread has a tl;dr bot - “The Omicron spike protein, with an unusually large number of mutations, is considered the major driver of these phenotypes.

We generated chimeric recombinant SARS-CoV-2 encoding the S gene of Omicron in the backbone of an ancestral SARS-CoV-2 isolate and compared this virus with the naturally circulating Omicron variant.

In K18-hACE2 mice, while Omicron causes mild, non-fatal infection, the Omicron S-carrying virus inflicts severe disease with a mortality rate of 80%. This indicates that while the vaccine escape of Omicron is defined by mutations in S, major determinants of viral pathogenicity reside outside of S. Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.”

…the bot left out “The Omicron S-bearing virus robustly escapes vaccine-induced humoral immunity, mainly due to mutations in the receptor binding motif (RBM), yet unlike naturally occurring Omicron, efficiently replicates in cell lines and primary-like distal lung cells.” * a preprint: Role of spike in the pathogenic and antigenic behavior of SARS-CoV-2 BA.1 Omicron, https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.10.13.512134v1

Choudhary MC has been a prolific contributor to ~27 papers on CoV topics in the last 2-3 years out of 39 papers in total, 2013, 2015, a few in 2018 and 2019. Dengue virus, Hepatitis C and E and HIV research in the earlier years. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?cmd=search&term=Choudhary+MC%5Bau%5D&dispmax=50

Mohsan Saheed - 52 papers, this one from March 2020 had a treatment suggestion for SARS2: LY6E impairs coronavirus fusion and confers immune control of viral disease. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32511345/ His earlier work included Hepatitis C and Zika and Plasmodium. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Saeed%20Mohsan%5Bau%5D

Enser Armin - 69 papers, earlier work Herpes virus, cytomegalovirus, others. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Ensser+Armin+%5Bau%5D

Those are just a few of the authors, most are from the Boston University area, two from Germany, one from Harvard, one from Cleveland Clinic, one from U of Wisconsin and one from Loyola U, Chicago.
