This seemed mostly fluff and argument from authority to me, with the main substantial counterpoint this:
> Gunnveig Grødeland, vaccine researcher at the University of Oslo, is one of the scientists voicing their disagreement with Sørensen. She explains that what Sørensen referred to as "inserted sequences" can enable the development of a more serious disease, but this is not unusual in nature: "Examples can be found in other viruses including subtypes of influenza (including "bird flu"), HIV, and several human coronaviruses (MERS, OC43, HKU1)." Grødeland also says that Sørensen's paper offered no biological confirmation on the relevance of positively charged patches.
- eunos 6y agoTo be fair, this claim (the main paper) is released for a month. I even remember encountered a HN submission for it. However, the claim doesn't really attract much attention. A few UK media mention it, but focus mainly on the MI6 chief. Googling the researcher names also found mostly Norwegian sites. Since the traction of this claim is quite low, then not much further discussion by other scientists as well.
