1. Mass Vaccination in a Pandemic - Benefits versus Risks: Interview with Geert Vanden Bossche
sub optimal vaccine immune response leading to viral variance explains why first 3 variants occurred in 3 countries where vaccines were tested, Brazil, UK & SA
2. This interview will make better sense if you read first his open letter "Halt All Covid-19 Mass Vaccination Immediately" (Open Letter to the WHO): dryburgh.com/geert-vanden-b…
Scroll down for letter to WHO
3. GVB warns of complete disaster:
We must halt all ongoing Covid-19 mass vaccination campaigns as a temporary health benefit to the most vulnerable groups does not justify a public health
disaster of international concern. dryburgh.com/wp-content/upl…
4. He is putting his reputation & career on the line
Geert Vanden Bossche, vaccine expert, formerly employed at GAVI & Bill & Melinda Gates Foundaton.

7. Would have been better if he had spoken out a year ago?

To clarify
The "scientist" who knows about WIV deleted databases, who blocked anyone who asked about them for months, who admits he knows what is in them, who knows all about WIV work that could have led to a lab leak, is the guy put in charge of 2 "investigations" (Lancet & WHO)
Compilation Thread on ORF8 ORF8 or Fate? 1. ZLS (2018):
"Considering the variability of orf8 in bats, civets and humans, investigating the function of orf8 is a priority, particularly the contribution of these different variants to viral pathogenesis."
2. ORF8 or Fate?
"In addition to receptor binding, proteolytic cleavage of S & potentially other mutations that affect virion & trimer stability may be important for virus transmissibility in different hosts, & these factors need to be studied further." nature.com/articles/s4157…
3. ORF8 or Fate?
Overwhelmingly these viruses had mutations or
29 deletions in ORF8 - associated with reduced replicative fitness of the virus.. may be associated with host adaptation

2. Common Contaminants in NGS
Until an effective strategy is found to eliminate contaminants from sequencing runs, novel sequences detected in such runs should be scrutinized by qPCR analysis to ensure they originate from specimens rather than the lab journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
