First, let's talk about expectations.
From the get-go, it is absolutely clear that there is no #smoking gun or similar to be expected.
The intelligence services all had access to the same information and most assessments are low confidence, with 4 agencies favoring #zoonosis.

Within the 'manmade' mythology, too many unverified stories are taken as gospel truth.
Overall, the best LLs can hope for is that the IC can verify some #circumstantial evidence that they have spun into their #mythology; but honestly, I highly doubt that.

How much should we think about the role of information in society?
In this article, I use the recent media coverage surrounding #lableak versus #zoonosis to point toward a new threat we have not yet wrapped our heads around:
Information pathogens with high #velocity.

Information pathogens with high #velocity.
#Velocity is a metric for the transmission efficacy of information given a particular content payload, its viral packaging, and its host environment.
Basically the R0 of information, a measure of #contagiousness.
Info pathogens with high velocity outcompetes good information.

Chinese researchers (who have had troubles getting data out) finally managed to sneak upload full #sequencing data from environmental swaps at Huanan market.
Show: Co-occurance of #animal sequences with SARS-CoV-2 RNA

1⃣ Does this prove that SARS-CoV-2 came from racoon dogs?
Not definitively. Co-occurance of sequences could be from chance contamination in theory. Also, even if racoon dogs were indeed infected, they might just have been amplifiers at market, not the original source.

While the #lableak theory is scientifically dead, the lableak conspiracy myth will never die out.
This has everything to do with #asymmetric forces on social media, and the self-serving influencers and information combatants abusing them.

Let me show you something & explain:
Having lost the battle to sabotage scientific consensus formation for #zoonosis, LLs can only invoke 'research cartel' tropes & target individual scientists.
They hope people will not realize hundreds of scientists produced the evidence.

El Virus de la Peste Porcina Africana ha sido detectado en cerdos del noroeste y centro del país. Aquí explico un poco sobre este virus, abro hilo 🧵
El Virus de la Peste Porcina Africana (VPPA) no es una #zoonosis por lo tanto no tiene la capacidad de enlazarse con receptores de nuestras células humanas. Sin embargo es altamente transmisible en #cerdos 🐖 y se ha podido identificar en garrapatas (vectores) (1/n)
El VPPA pertenece a la familia Asfarviridae, de ADN de doble cadena (dsDNA), detectado por primera vez a principios del siglo XX en África, la enfermedad cerdos se ha extendido a países de Asia y Europa. Fue identificada por primera vez en #RD en 1978. (2/n)

1/ At the end of December 2019, Wenliang, an eye doctor from Wuhan, noticed an allegedly unusual incidence of pneumonia. It remains a mystery what is unusual about 44 patients in a city with over 8 million citizens during winter.

2/ On Jan. 5, WHO informs for the first time about a pneumonia of unknown cause, which it can clarify by 7 January. The virus is believed to be a close relative of SARS. A fish market allegedly is the origin. The #Zoonosis legend, unproven until today, is born.

This is a case of Tuberculosis, which is highly infectious, and Zoonotic.
When encountered, please use gloves or any means of protection and dispose of it by deep burying.

La enorme cantidad de data sobre la #COVID19, la forma sesgada y errónea como se presentan recortes de expresiones de expertos, llevan inquietud a la población. Así pasa con cuarentena, inmunidad de rebaño, etc. Abro hilo, desde mi ignorancia, para tratar de aclarar algo.
#inmunidadderebaño o #HerdImmunity es un modelo de acción preventiva que se basa en la "enfermar" a gran parte de una población en forma leve para que el resto quede cubierto probabilísticamente. Así, inmunodeprimidos, bebés o personas sensibles, pueden evitar enfermarse.
Como modelo de acción preventiva solo es posible con #VACUNACIÓN, y en el caso de que por algún motivo se dejen las #vacunas por desaparición de casos, la vigilancia epidemiológica es fundamental para evitar reemergencia (caso típico, el sarampión fomentado por los #antivacunas)
Les voy a plantear algunos datos curiosos sobre el #COVIDー19mx, no lo saquen de contexto 🙄, sólo son datos que me llamaron la atención, a ver a ustedes qué opinan, todo está basado en evidencia #científica... 🚨🚨🦠🐍🚨🚨 Aquí va. Abro hilo 👇🏻
Los #virus emergentes q se propagan a los humanos desde un huésped animal son comunes y provocan enfermedades ( #zoonosis ), algunas de ellas graves. Analizado el perfil genético del #SARSCoV2 q provoca el #COVID2019, una HIPÓTESIS propone q proviene probablemente de una 🐍 / 🦇.
Existe evidencia de q la #hipertensión arterial PUEDE estar asociada a un ⬆️ del riesgo de #mortalidad en pacientes hospitalizados con COVID-19. Se ha HIPOTETIZADO q los efectos adversos de los #IECA y los #ARA -II tienen relación con esta evolución.
With the #COVID19 outbreak, it is important to use language responsibly. Here is the first entry of our new #ContagiousWords series, defining the buzzwords and terminology dominating today's conversation. #Pandemic #PandemicsCost

Cada 28 de setiembre se celebra el #DiaMundialContralaRabia , día de la muerte de Louis Pasteur (1895), químico francés, fundador de la microbiología, que en 1885 creó la vacuna contra esta enfermedad mortal. Hoy es 100% prevenible con vacunación. #abrohilo @institutpasteur
Pasteur experimentaba en conejos cuando una madre le llevó a su hijo (Joseph Meister) de 9 años mordido por un perro. Pese a las dudas, Pasteur con dos médicos inyectaron una vacuna hecha con el mismo virus pero atenuado, para que el sistema inmune pudiera combatirlo.
Después de inyecciones diarias durante 10 días y algunas semanas de espera, Joseph se curó y fue en el primer humano tratado con la vacuna antirrábica. De adulto y hasta su muerte en 1940, Meister trabajó como vigilante del @institutpasteur que creó Pasteur en 1887

Alejandro Buschiazzo, del @IPMontevideo, comparte los resultados de la primera etapa del proyecto que buscó la creación de un banco de cepas #patógenas de Leptospira spp.
Aprender, capacitar recursos humanos, aislar las cepas de Leptospira, tipificarlas y crear banco con las 61 cepas de bacteria que producen enfermedad son objetivos y logros del proyecto que fortalece a todas las instituciones, dice Alejandro Buschiazzo
