The Pangolin Who Got Away
Poetry for the CoV era, dedicated to Karl and Dan Sirotkin and all the others who have investigated Gain of Function cover-up.
Pangolin are peculiar
And armadillo like.
Nearly scapegoated as CoV carrier, but
Gain of Function, was
Obviously
Linked…
In a
Nearby mink farm outbreak – was the smoking mink really a lab ferret in disguise? Or a pangolin’s reprieve?
History is written by those who survive.

Brave AI summary: Serial Passage in Gain-of-Function
According to the provided search results, serial passage research is a technique used in gain-of-function (GOF) studies to manipulate pathogens, such as viruses, and make them more deadly or transmissible. Serial passage involves allowing the virus to grow in different growth mediums, which can lead to mutations and alterations in the virus’s structure and function.
In the context of GOF research, serial passage is used to enhance the transmissibility and/or virulence of pathogens. This is done by repeatedly passaging the virus through a host, such as a cell culture or an animal model, allowing it to adapt and evolve over time. This process can result in the virus becoming more infectious, virulent, or transmissible, making it a valuable tool for studying potential therapies, vaccine development, and disease control.
For example, one of the search results mentions that serial passage is used to “make certain pathogenic microbes more deadly or more transmissible” and that this technique is essential for vaccine development, as it allows researchers to study the virus’s enhanced immunogenicity and viral yield.
It’s worth noting that serial passage research is a key aspect of GOF studies, and its application has been the subject of controversy and debate, particularly regarding the potential risks of creating more dangerous pathogens that could escape from laboratories and cause harm.

The medical freedom movement has never been about doctors being free to practice medicine.
It has always been about being free from doctors who practice medicine.
It is the practice of pharmaceutical medicine that is morbid.
Predictably, as a class, they are ill equipped to ever be free of what they’ve done to themselves and to one another.
That’s why we keep witnessing the most vocal of these doctors colliding with their own profession, slamming head first into the walls of their institutions, and rear ending one another in a slow motion existential demolition derby.
Only Mike Yeadon has been brave enough to face himself honestly.
He makes the others look like the fools that we now know them to be.
