This is the immunology equivalent of "jet fuel can't melt steel beams". It's embarrassing to see it here, especially in a community with pretensions of bringing "disruption" to biotech. It would take a long time to catalog all the nonsense here but I'll just say that short subsequence (6aa) BLAST is meaningless and this subsequent claim is just word salad: "Such high human similarity also implies a high risk for the development of severe adverse events/toxicity and even Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE)"
(there's no relationship between the capacity for ADE and self-similarity of amino acid content)
- jakeogh 6y agoRegarding your fuel comment, that is what NIST found. They confirmed in their report that indeed, it cant and didnt. They rely on a weakening... where the fire was, which is a few floors of the top of the 2 buildings. The 3rd building is a different eh... reason.

- MrRiddle 6y agoI’m not sure why you’re downvoted, I thought it’s widely known by now that there were helpers on the ground for 911. Building 7 being the easiest one to draw conclusions from.
- mleonhard 6y agoWould you please explain more clearly?
- iskander 6y agoSure, what's your degree of bio background?
- objektif 6y agoWhat do you think about this? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q5SRrsr-Iug https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q5SRrsr-Iug Are these people also conspiracy theorists?
- iskander 6y agoI didn't watch more than a few minutes, too much real research going on to keep up with the more fringe stuff. But tl;dr it could be a lab escape but most virologists think it's more likely to be spontaneous zoonosis. In either case, the evidence for genetic modification or "serial passage" is very weak and the virus's distinguishing traits all fit in well with the background distribution of coronaviruses we know about. So the fixation on lab escape seems like a distraction.
