So #GainOfFunction started in 2003 then went silent until a 2012 #biolabs story #linked Hawaii bio center to #coronavirus #SARS #monkeypox also it explains how the @CDCgov ships the viruses in every day moving box’s on planes and trains , other nations have patients on it as well twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

First sequence of BN.1 (BA.2.75.5.1) a.k.a #Hydra is uploaded from #Arkanas
BN.1 is predicted to be both highly immune evasive and binds to host ACE2 better than circulating SARSCoV2 lineages

BN.1 is predicted to be both highly immune evasive and binds to host ACE2 better than circulating SARSCoV2 lineages
BN.1 (BA.2.75.5.1) stands out in the graph of immune escape vs ACE2 binding (relative to BA.2) of top circulating lineages in USA (#15dayTrends)!
AR has uploaded a BQ.1* sequence earlier in the week!

Study looking at the impact of vaccine misinformation found:
-66% of U.S. adults say they would be likely to recommend vaccinating a hypothetical 5-11 yr olds in their household who is eligible for the #Covid19 #vaccine.

-39% of the vaccinated-but-not-boosted hold high levels of misinformation about the effects and safety of #vaccines

Study from #England looking at the impact of #SARSCoV2 on #brain #pathology in 785 UK Biobank participants (aged 51–81) imaged twice found:
-brain changes in the following regions:
-brain changes in the following regions:
--greater reduction in grey matter thickness and tissue-contrast in the orbitofrontal cortex & parahippocampal gyrus
--greater changes in markers of tissue damage in regions functionally-connected to the primary olfactory cortex
--greater reduction in global brain size.

--greater reduction in global brain size.
- infected participants also showed on average larger #cognitive decline between the 2 timepoints
-these imaging and cognitive longitudinal effects were still seen after excluding the 15 cases who had been hospitalized.

Study from @Yale looking at the association between the #Pfizer #COVID19 #vaccine and #SARSCoV2 positivity among 542 adolescents when the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 was predominant and within 4 months of the vaccine rollout for adolescents showed:
-estimated effectiveness of the #pfizer vaccine was 91%, with 93% protection against symptomatic infections & 85% effectiveness against asymptomatic infection
Conclusion: These findings suggest that the #Pfizer #vaccine was effective in adolescents within 4 months of #immunization, including against infections caused by the #Delta #variant.

A study applied Mendelian randomization including >3,000 blood proteins as exposures to identify potential biomarkers that may indicate risk for hospitalization or need for respiratory support or death due to #COVID19 found:
-Higher blood levels of 5 proteins associated with an increased risk of #hospitalization, need. of respiratory support or death due to #COVID19: GCNT4, CD207, RAB14, C1GALT1C1, & ABO.
-These findings implicate blood group markers & binding proteins in both #hospitalization, need for respiratory support & death.
-Higher levels of #endocannabinoid enzymes may increase the risk of #hospitalization.

🧵SCIENTISTS ADMIT MASS COVID-19 TESTING ARGUMENT RESTS ON A “HYPOTHESIS”🦠💥
With their influence waning, @IndependentSage has rebuked Gov plans to end “free” COVID-19 tests— urging the “immediate” publication of scientific evidence.

🧵GUTTER JOURNALISM STRIKES AGAIN🦠💥
There was once a time, in the now dark & distant past, when journalists would craft their stories with balance and panache. Using credible sources to add “weight” to an article.
I’m about to tell you what today’s crop of “journalists” do👇🏻

But first, a bit of background. Yesterday @beverleyturner debated @DrNighatArif on @thismorning over the proposed rollout of Covid-19 vaccines to 12-year-old children.
Safe to say, it was a lively affair. But it’s important to note it was a more balanced interview than usual.

Both guests had opportunity to speak, and the presenters remained largely impartial throughout.

The Indian government has suspended all flights from the #UnitedKingdom as reports emerged of a new strain of #COVID19 in the UK, termed as a "super spreader". The new guidelines in Mumbai require mandatory quarantine for all passengers arriving directly or indirectly from the UK
While the Ministry of Civil Aviation has said that passengers arriving from the UK in transit flights that will reach India before December 22, will have to take mandatory RT PCR tests on arrival.

Things are clearly getting worse. If you can hunker down, this is probably a good time.
Couple comments about these charts...
1. Testing is probably sufficient, or close to it. This is no longer a testing problem.
2. Deaths are staying low, likely because of better treatment as well as a younger cohort.
As for the US... #CoronaVirusUpdates
Wisconsin has been the epicenter for a while. The Governor there has done a horrid job overall, and it shows. They've lost all control.

North Dakota and South Dakota are not doing well at all either. But they are so sparse, that it isn't burning through either state either.
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut...are seeing the very, very early stages of a wave. Hospitalizations are up, deaths are not. But I fear this is the tip of the iceberg.
