COVID-19’s Biological Politics

Emily Kopp seems to be unaware of Fau Chi's 26 Ap 2012 U.S. Senate testimony on dual use as the Mojiang miners were going into the hospital:

https://twitter.com/emilyakopp

' 2 Aug "At the time I wrote this, I was accused of cherrypicking, misinformation and conspiracy theories. Which makes it all the more striking that this lab director recently joined other scientists in calling for more regulation of gain-of-function research." '

https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/news/center-news/pdfs/220629-RecstostrengthenUSGePPPandDURCPolicies.pdf

'....dual use....'

The diligent reader will go back and consult the chron for this timing, because it was about two months after Sorensen, et al published their stunningly intelligent report on SARS-CoV-2's un-natural origin:

Likkmee was on the right track, though incorrect, in post # 1,039 of the snake meat thread, which was closed down on 7 Oct 2020, because the mod thought it was too scattered and not on track. The pertinent posts we will be used in comparing the Sorensen, et al report of 13 Jul 2020:

Post # 1,022-1,024 (male bias/lesbianism), 1,034, 1,042, 555. The Chrysemys (painted turtle, Washington State) link will be further scrutinized.

Yong-Zhen Zhang's Huaiyangshan bunyavirus link to furin is the E.C. Holmes (Zhang's co-author) link to bunyavirus furin, Zhang-Holmes reports being only one month apart:

'....The detection of a functional furin cleavage motif upstream of the two glycoproteins in the M segment-encoded polyprotein suggests that BADUV may employ a unique strategy to process the virion glycoprotein.'

 

[badger2]

Alina Chan does not mention the SFTS link for Yong-Zhen Zhang (this thread, post # 1,066) but does mention SFTS:

https://twitter.com/Ayjchan

' 4 Mar 2022....1.) Potential animal hosts of the virus were sold at the market in late 2019.
nature.com "Animal Sales from Wuhan Wet Markets Immediately Prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic"....over the period May 2017-Nov 2019 we were conducting unrelated routine monthly surveys of all 17 wet market shops selling live wild animals....This was intended to identify the source of the tick-borne (no human-to-human transmission) Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (SFTS) following an outbreak in Hubei Province 2009-2010 in which there was an unusually high initial case fatality rate of 30%.'

This is why it was absurd in the Senate for Ron Johnson to flippantly dismiss furin while talking to another asshole that never mentions furin in his terstimony.

 

[badger2]

Before returning to Sorensen, et al. for Mycobacterium/vaccine research, Chan and the Nature.com article can be retrieved in this origins thread:

 

[badger2]

Readers can see that Worobey et al is mentioned in 1.) for 4 Mar 2022. Worobey will link to what Edward Hooper has to say.

 

[badger2]

Edward Hooper's entries for Worobey:
www.aidsorigins.com/?s=Worobey

 

[badger2]

As readers can see in Hooper, above, "Latest Update on COVID Origins"....'that was issued by the Minority Staff of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, led by Republican Michael McCaul. This appears to be the contribution made by the Republican side of the House to the debate initiated by Joe Biden in May....'

 

[badger2]

For Chan's 11 points, point 2.) links to the Chinese CDC, and at the time 4 Mar 2022) this report was still in peer-review and yet unpublished. This is the Yong-Zhen Zhang (Beijing CDC) connection linking to papillomavirus furin (post 1,065). Furin thus links to cervical cancer.

 

[badger2]

Chan's point 3.) for ascertainment bias, scrolling down to the CDC report "Cluster of Pneumonia cases -Wuhan" for George F. Gao. Here is what Kennedy says:

'George Gao, the director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control (CCDC), worried about how to suppress the inevitable "rumors" that the virus is laboratory generated: "People believe, 'This is manmade'....[and that] some pharmaceutical company made this virus." Two months after speaking these words, Gao himself would lead the Chinese effort to tamp down rumors of lab creation. Gao also orchestrated the Chinese government drive to vaccinate a billion Chinese citizens (Event 201, Pandemic Exercise Segment 4, Transcript 1, 7 Aug 2020).'

[badger2]

Alina Chan's page (this thread, post # 1,067) links to current poliovirus in New York City, because the wet market surveillance was also looking for picornaviruses. We posted the Chinese CDC's co-author with E.C. Holmes, Yong-Zhen Zhang, in post # 1,065 for papillomavirus, which linked QIAGEN to Gaithersburg, Maryland. This was a furin link, a link Ron Johnson never testified to the U.S. Senate about.

Seneca Valley Virus infected Chinese buffalo, but it was first discovered in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

1.) Seneca Valley Virus Discovery

Oncolytic Seneca Valley Virus: past perspectives and future directions - PubMed

Seneca Valley Virus isolate 001 (SVV-001) is an oncolytic RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family. It is also the first picornavirus discovered of the novel genus Senecavirus. SVV-001 replicates through an RNA intermediate, bypassing a DNA phase, and is unable to integrate into the host genome...

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

' SVV-001 was originally discovered by Genetic Therapy, Inc. (Gaithersburg, Md. USA) in 2002 as a contaminant in cell culture of human retinoblasts, believed to be introduced through the bovine serum or porcine trypsin that was in the culture media....it had the same profile to cardiovirus (myocarditis) and was initially thought to be a recombinant cardiovirus, but subsequently placed in Picornaviridae....12 outbreaks in California, Illinois, Iowa, La., Mn., NJ., NC.'

Due to SARS-CoV-2, MSM mostly failed to cover this outbreak in Chinese buffalo, but it was in the same province as SARS-CoV-1:

Oct 2021 Seneca Valley Virus / Guandong Buffalo Mouth Ulcers

Buffalo-Origin Seneca Valley Virus in China: First Report, Isolation, Genome Characterization, and Evolution Analysis - PubMed

Pigs are the main host of Seneca Valley virus (SVV), previously known as Senecavirus A (SVA). Pigs affected by SVV have vesicles in the nose, hooves, and limp and may cause death in some severe cases. Occasionally, SVV has also been detected in mice, houseflies, environmental equipment, and...

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

The reason this buffalo outbreak and wet-market surveillance (May 2017-Nov 2019) links to Beijing CDC's golden-boy virologist, Yong-Zhen Zhang and by default his co-author, Australia's E.C. Holmes, is because, like post # 1,065 co-authored by Y-Z Zhang and Qiagen Gaithersburg, Seneca Valley virus, discovered in Gaithersburg (uses anthrax toxin receptor [italics]), linking to the anthrax-furin also shown in post # 1,065.

Therefore, Anne Rimoin's relationship to Metabiota for the collection of an African coronavirus will be further scrutinized, because of what will be posted concerning Edward Hooper's mention of lack of HIV data for early U.S. cases and his mention of Quesso (forthcoming):

Linking to Chinese CDC wet-market surveilling for viruses, including picornaviruses, Rimoin has talked about California monkeypox in recent media. We have already shown in this thread Rimoin's link to collected African coronaviruses (DRC).

Jul 2021 WHO's Revised Polio Immunization / iVDPV

The Molecular Evolution of Type 2 Vaccine-Derived Polioviruses in Individuals with Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases - PubMed

The oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV), which prevents person-to-person transmission of poliovirus by inducing robust intestinal immunity, has been a crucial tool for global polio eradication. However, polio outbreaks, mainly caused by type 2 circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV2), are...

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

'....WHO implemented a revised polio immunization policy in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative Strategic Plan 2013-2018 that eliminates the Type 2 component from tOPV in Ap 2016, thereby switching from tOPV to the bivalent OPV (bOPV) including only Types 1 & 3. At the same time, WHO encouraged at least one dose of IPV for routine immunization to maintain population immunity against Type 2 poliovirus.

In addition, a global stockpile of monovalent Type 2 OPV (mOPV) was prepared and maintained for response to cVDPV2 outbreaks. As expected, immediately after the switch to bOPV, few cVDPV2 epidemics were identified, only in DRC and Syria in 2017. However, the number of cVDPV2 outbreaks has been growing since 2018.'

Thus, Rimoin's/Metabiota's African coronavirus(es) indeed link to Chinese CDC wet-market surveillance, monkeypox in the DRC, and to polio-HIV immunity in the population of DRC. This links to the pathology Edward Hooper discovered: no HIV data (= immunity data) for early U.S. cases.

 

[badger2]

So we think at least two assholes who were dramatizing their Senate testimonies knew more about furin and anthrax than meets the eye. The symptoms of Chinese buffalo Seneca virus infection mimics SARS-CoV-2 "vaccine" sequelae:

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

'....In severe cases, limping and death occur due to acute myocarditis, heart degeneration, transient fever, and neurological pathology.'

So a picornavirus shares the same host with a coronavirus:

As far as is known, Anne Rimmoin's/Metabiota's Congo Basin coronavirus spike sequence is unpublished:

Before getting to alternate vaccine protocols for coronaviruses based on Mycobacterium, a monkeypox report is here:

Explainer: Monkeypox in the U.S.: Where could it spread next?

The virus continues to be largely transmitted among gay and bisexual men, but experts say the disease could spill over into other populations.

www.reuters.com

'....Experts point to the way HIV spread as a possible indicator for where the virus will go next. In Africa, where MPXV has been circulating since the 1970s, 60% of cases are male, 40% of cases are in women.

"One reason may be that the virus appears to be "very efficiently transmitted through anal receptive intercourse and to some degree oral sex," said Dr. Celine Gounder, an infectious diseases epidemiologist and editor-at-large at Kaiser Health News....and go where HIV did, and that's going into the communities of color in the rural South.'

This obviously should be compared with SIV in non-human primates in the Bokenda area circa 1970, mentioned previously.

 

[badger2]

This 4 Aug 2022 report by the New England Journal of Medicine will alert readers to the Mojiang virus that came from the same source as SARS-CoV-2's (now) second closest relative, RaTG13. Reference #8 is the Peter Daszak (Eco Health Alliance) link:

Congo shrews now link to Edward Hooper's origins hypothesis for HIV-1 & 2 with this Kisangani report:

Because Daszak links to shrews for henipavirus, Hooper links Worobey to the Congo Basin which will then focus on Malacomys swamp rat for vectoring corona- and monkeypox viruses:
