Posted on | Posted on John Murphy | Leave a Comment on “Inescapable” COVID-19 Antibody Discovery – Neutralizes All Known SARS-CoV-2 Strains

Authors: By LAWRENCE BERKELEY NATIONAL LABORATORY AUGUST 26, 2021 An antibody therapy that appears to neutralize all known SARS-CoV-2 strains, and other coronaviruses, was developed with a little help from structural biologist Jay Nix. Lifesaving COVID-19 vaccines are allowing us to feel optimistic again, after more than a year of anxiety and tragedy. But vaccines are only one side of the […]

How Will the Coronavirus Evolve?

Authors: By Dhruv Khullar In 1988, Richard Lenski, a thirty-one-year-old biologist at UC Irvine, started an experiment. He divided a population of a common bacterium, E. coli, into twelve flasks. Each flask was kept at thirty-seven degrees Celsius, and contained an identical cocktail of water, glucose, and other nutrients. Each day, as the bacteria replicated, Lenski transferred several […]

Interim data suggested high efficacy for both of these vaccines, which […]

Hidden History When Vaccines go wrong…This chicken vaccine makes its virus more dangerous

Posted on | Posted on John Murphy | Leave a Comment on Hidden History When Vaccines go wrong…This chicken vaccine makes its virus more dangerous

Authors: By —Nsikan Akpan The deadliest strains of viruses often take care of themselves — they flare up and then die out. This is because they are so good at destroying cells and causing illness that they ultimately kill their host before they have time to spread. But a chicken virus that represents one of […]

Imperfect Vaccination Can Enhance the Transmission of Highly Virulent Pathogens

Authors: Andrew F. Read ,Susan J. Baigent,Claire Powers,Lydia B. Kgosana,Luke Blackwell,Lorraine P. Smith,David A. Kennedy,Stephen W. Walkden-Brown,Venugopal K. Nair Abstract Could some vaccines drive the evolution of more virulent pathogens? Conventional wisdom is that natural selection will remove highly lethal pathogens if host death greatly reduces transmission. Vaccines that keep hosts alive but still allow transmission […]

Goldilocks virus’: Delta vanquishes all variant rivals as scientists race to understand its tricks

Posted on | Posted on John Murphy | Leave a Comment on Goldilocks virus’: Delta vanquishes all variant rivals as scientists race to understand its tricks

Since late last year, the country has been overrun by a succession of coronavirus variants, each with its own suite of mutations conferring slightly different viral traits. For much of this year, the alpha variant — officially known as B.1.1.7 and first seen in the United Kingdom — looked like the clear winner, accounting for the majority […]

“One Step Closer To Dictatorship”: Joe Rogan Slams Vaccine Passports, Warns Vax May Cause ‘Virulent Mutations’

Rogan – who acknowledge thathe’s not a doctor or an anti-vaxx person, says that concerned doctors have been anonymously sending him studies – including one which asserts that an imperfect vaccine can lead to ‘highly virulent pathogens,’ and that ‘vaccines that keep the host alive but still allow transmission can thus allow virulent strains to circulate in a population.’ “The very […]

Fauci fears a COVID variant worse than Delta could be coming

Posted on | Posted on John Murphy | Leave a Comment on Fauci fears a COVID variant worse than Delta could be coming

If America’s current COVID-19 surge continues unabated into the fall and winter, the country will likely face an even more deadly strain of the virus that could evade the current coronavirus vaccines, NIAID director Anthony Fauci told McClatchy Wednesday. Why it matters: Fauci’s comments underscore the importance of acting quickly to vaccinate the tens of millions of Americans who have […]

According to Chinese state media cited by the South China Morning Post, top CCP virologist Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Institute of Virology – also known as “Bat Lady” – says the virus will continue to mutate, and we must prepare to coexist with it. “As the number of infected cases has just become too big, this […]
