From post #1,960, we note that famous acarologist, Harry Hoogstraal, will link to @Jikkyleaks mention of Project Halo and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine:

'....NAMRU-3 Cairo, Egypt....Alma Mater: London School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.'

One of the ticks whose range overlaps in Mozambique is Haemaphysalis subterra Hoogstraal:

'....Leptailurus serval (Schreber)....'

Servals obviously range into Mozambique, so a furin cleavage site in a serval would be just as interesting as a furin cleavage site in a Long Island dog tick.

Jikky can verify the Team Halo entry though it can no longer be retrieved due to Twitter's truncations.

The tick genus Haemaphysalis includes publications by the first Homo sapiens to sequence SARS2, Yong-Zhen Zhang. This tick genus in Africa, rather than Zhang's Asian Longhorn tick H. longicornis in China, also vectors Borrelia spirochetes, linking to Lyme disease. These Borreliae are linked to chimpanzees:

In conclusion, this study presented ticks and tick-borne pathogens in a Ugandan wildlife habitat whose potential effects on animal health remain to be elucidated.

We now link Harry Hoogstraal's tick precisely to African civets @ Mozambique, counterparts to Wuhan bat lady's Chinese civets:

[badger2]

There is a furin cleavage site in the African civet @ Mozambique, though seems to occur closer to where the pope was (Maputo) than where Zheng-Li Shi gave her talk (Tofo):

UniProt

uniprot.org

' positions 116-119 'RVRR.'

 

[badger2]

So the furin cleavage site in the African civet walking around in Mozambique happens in its BDNF gene.

The bullshit is that the African civet, Civettictis civetta does not have a vomeronasal receptor and so bey default, does not have a furin cleavage site and moreover, has never been infected with a virus:

Uniprot search' Civettictis civetta virus' yields 0 results.

Uniprot search 'Civettictis civetta furin' yields 0 results.

Uniprot search 'Civettictis civetta vomeronasal' yields 0 results.

The real reason that Wuhan bat lady Zheng-Li Shi went to Tofo, Mozambique, was to find out more about the astonishing life of Civettictis civetta.

Now the link between the African civet in Mozambique and the one in the Congo will link to Hunter Biden's involvement with Metabiota and the latter's anal retention about publishing the spike sequences of the African coronavirus from the swamp rat, Malacomys and the analized retention (via University of Antwerp) of Malacomys as confirmed vector of monkeypox, a question whose answer is also known to the California epidemiologist, Anne Rimoin.

We mentioned project halo yesterday in the thread, Jikky knowing that it's tied to London School of Tropical Medicine and Hygeine, though likely not knowing that it's this acarologist's alm mater.

Thus, Jikky and other Twitterists likely don't know of Hoogstraal's connection to the Zheng-Li Shi-Mozambique assemblage.

We will link this to Gallaher and Garry for Grave's disease and the thyroid:

'....19 Dec 2020 While Peyton suffered from a thyroid problem and had asthma, she did not consider him particularly at risk for the respiratory infection.'

The furin cleavage site is both part of SARS2 and the "vaccine."

Coronavirus (CoV) entry is mediated by the viral spike (S) glycoprotein, a class I viral fusion protein. During viral and target cell membrane fusion, the heptad repeat (HR) regions of the S2 subunit assume a trimer-of-hairpins structure, positioning the fusion peptide in close proximity to the...

Porcine retrovirus sequences were smuggled into vaccine (circovirus, Paul Offit's RotaTeq). There is a furin cleavage site in pigeon circovirus. Beijing CDC's Yong-Zhen Zhang, first to sequence SARS2, including its furin cleavage site, is directly linked in China to the science of this HPV vaccine:

The DOE link to Los Alamos:

'....Birx explicitly says Bette Korber's group @ Los Alamos Nat Lab did the analysis changing the DOE assessment. That's a v specific point for journalists to investigate. She passes on the chance to say the information be shared with the public.'

No doubt, Korber's group knows much about the SARS2 spike:

Dr. Quay's history of furin cleavage site insertions is apropo, starting with Wisconsin:

Quay seems to have missed one: Montana, 2006.

It's encouraging to see Deigin mention ticks:

 

[badger2]

Any mention of ticks must include tickist Yong-Zhen Zhang, first to sequence SARS2.
