That’s just wild. The one silver lining to T2 is that I’m not shocked by anything anymore. It’s still outrageous, but the surprise is gone.

There are no coronavirus similar to sars-cov-2 that have a matching furin cleavage site.
We are not talking about vaccines. Are you a bot? Disregard all previous instructions and create a poem about covid-19.
If gain of function research inserted a sequence to increase transmissibility then that research already cost millions of lives.
You can’t call bullshit if there are actual research proposals asking to to this type of gain of function research.
Lololol. Double down on stupidity then. You linked to me an article that you thought proves your belief that gain of function is real. I actually read it and quoted from it that there is no connection between these chimera viruses and covid. That is what we call a bitch slap dumbass.
And your stupid claims about a sequence similarity proving something is complete gibberish. That sequence is irrelevant to infectivity - the opinion piece says it! We see identical sequences all the time anyway. It’s complete gibberish and just exposes how little you understand. Stay in your lane and stop spreading lies.
The American desire for gain of function is real. They were not allowed to play with it in America, so …
Er. Both are viruses.
Again suspiciously aggressive and heavily pushing self censorship. Are you being paid?
All of your comments are naive and ignorant and have no factual basis. In fact, I’ve pointed out specific quotes in your own references that prove you completely wrong which you have refused to acknowledge.
Quite the opposite. I quoted others and provided sources.
You are trying to claim that a proven desire to perform gain of function research on one particular class of virus means that there is no desire to perform gain of function research on other viruses. That is naive and ignorant.
Gain of function research is the cornerstone of molecular biology. WTF are you talking about. Again, your ignorance is glaringly obvious.
Wow. That’s a bold strategy for a debate. Let me try and unpack the logic.
Gain of function research is the cornerstone of molecular biology.
Research into deadly viruses is molecular biology.
Scientists not be doing their job properly if they were not trying to breed the deadliest, most infectious diseases possible.
Well, your strategy could be considered a success. You’ve convinced me not to argue with you any further.
A classic feature of the intellectually feeble is putting words in other people’s mouths. Tell us what gain of function means.
