They were not using 40,000 people trials in 2015 for mRNA based technologies. That was the point. Just because something was in its infancy in the lab doesn't mean you can say its been around almost 7 years already. The concern that

The problem is that the perception of public trust is eroding significantly the more we learn and the more fervent the mandates become. We pulled the swine flu vaccine for way less back in 2010, I think it was 12 cases of GBS only! The fa

I'll take it a step further. We need a total paradigm redesign of airports. Imagine and airport designed to the point where you can literally drive up (or be dropped by an autonomous vehicle) 10 minutes before your flight, Throw your

I thought they established a few years ago that amaloid-beta plaque removal has no effect and had to go back to the foundational theories on the disease itself. "Slows the clinical decline" ... sounds like a total dud to me.

Came here to see if anyone mention the fact that Bret had ALREADY identified this exact scenario on his podcast months ago! He even pointed out the Drazak conflict of interest. But no one listened. Its bewildering how blind people can be.

Thank you for this explanation. I've been wondering this myself especially when it comes to methylation.

Exactly. I'd even build upon Asimov a little: Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, and any sufficiently advance civilization would appear both magical technologically and would LIKELY trend towards being highly elusive.

Why poo poo this? This is what really irks me when people laugh this stuff off and spout off something about Fermi's paradox without even understanding it. Fermi's paradox only asks simply "if statistics say they are everywh

I came here to point out nuclear and fusion also. Lets say you can get the energy cost to near zero, the the 200+ euros left per meter sq could be cut down by looking for construction or scaling efficiencies and even the fact that if energ

Does anyone know of something similar that lets me watch data "flow" through my code at a human readable pace? I dont use ctr-z, Its surprising to me that people code this way, but I do tend to spend a lot of time thinking about h

Although this is clearly a fluff piece for Gov De Santis, as a software dev and someone who grew up in SV and moved to FL in 2009, I still regularly travel back to CA for work and contrast is staggering now. Forget the ridiculous housing c

You have to quantify "relatively rare". Its closest relatives of high genetic match do not have this furin site, as they admit in the paper you linked to, only the sister clade does: "Moreover, SARS-CoV-2 is the only virus i

And the well adapted to humans furin site is just plain luck? Its not like this has not happen before, SARS like virus's have crossed species within modern history that we have detected, and they all flame out eventually. I'm no

by noetic_techy 6y ago
Yes but the jumps typically flame out. This virus has an extremely well adapted human furin site well outside of typical Bat Corona virus. This is more in line with gain of function research.

I would implore those who are skeptical of a lab leak hypothesis to listen to the evolutionary biologist Bret Weinsteins Darkhorse Podcast with Yuri Deigin on the subject: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bret

I actually agree somewhat and hear me out. I think these people don't realize the juggernaut they are creating. I'm a political centrist but even I see it. Suppression of the message will only amplify it. Prediction: Trump will

The key there is proper credentials. I have German relatives and was suprised to learn about the exams that dictate essentially which tier of education you can pursue. Sure its free AFTER the fact. Italy has a similar system where you mu

I 100% agree that the "pick two" only applies if you cannot setup and alternate system. Hence my recommendation to for certs to break the monopoly. I really think tech has yet to TRULY disrupt education.
