it’s a very disturbing paper if its findings are verified: not only SARS2 and RaTG13 have signs of genetic manipulation in yeast but SARS1 too.
WIV is known to have eyed yeast reverse genetic systems with interest (see attached WIV thesis
3. The Author has published quite a few interesting papers with 1870 citations. scholar.google.com/citations?user…

6. Yeast containing SARS-COV- 2
“The exciting thing about the yeast is that . . . it’s fast,” says expert Susan Weiss

7. Dr. Weiss's Magic Yeast
What this means is that instead of having to reconstruct the viral DNA first before introducing it into cells, you instead “put all these fragments in the yeast and it magically puts them together,” says Weiss.
8. TAR, YAC & DNA
transformation associated recombination (TAR)
yeast artificial chromosome (YAC)
Data Not Available (DNA) Don't believe me? Ask WIV!
9. Amazing Recombination Capacity
“The capacity to recombine things to a YAC by themselves is just amazing,” says Jores.
20. Revenge of Yeast
a WIV Thesis that @TheSeeker268 found recently is by Lei Ping Zeng (2017) & it mentions WIV's interest in yeast recombination methods
23. I am getting so sick of Yeast!
I will just dump yeast infected papers here for others to vomit over

"During shooting in Thailand, I was shocked by Daszak’s fast & loose with facts, his refusal to acknowledge his conflict of interest,& his denial of his gain-of-function res in collaboration with Wuhan lab"
You guessed right, i hope?
@janeqiuchina
She continued:
"I was equally shocked by Daszak’s constant self-promotion and how effective it was."
@janeqiuchina About the film:
"Blame: Bats, Politics & a Planet Out of Balance"
"Christian Frei seemed entranced by hero worshipping, apparently having lost all sense of objectivity & critical judgment. I felt strongly then, as I do now, that the film was a blatant piece of propaganda"
Bloody Hell, it's worse than even I imagined in my darkest nightmares about #scamdemia.
Time to spend some of this tax money on local electronics, biological, ecological, IT, optical, chemistry, engineering & physics labs run by local amateurs for the benefit of our communities?
Short 🧵on Primer & PCR Test issues (Pangolin Covs)
1. The key issue with pangolins and Pcovs is that:
It was discovered that the standard PCR tests used in 2020, and often still used, failed to actually detect many of the betacoronaviruses generously hosted by the pangolins.
2. Unless
The samples are retested with bespoke primers & more accurate PCR tests available now,
We will not know exactly whIch Pangolin (or bat) coronaviruses were hosted by Pangolins at WIV & elsewhere pre-pandemic.
However, "they" (I will name who they are later) should, and perhaps in the future, may retest the stored samples at WIV, IPB, SCAU AND GIABR, to clarify the question of which coronaviruses were present in their pangolin samples.
2. May have been for research and commercial purposes, but they were caught bang to rights.
"LIU initially stated that he did not know what the materials were and that someone must have put them into his bag"
3. When asked why someone would put them into his bag, LIU stated that he did not know, and that maybe he had accidentally put the materials there. After further questioning, LIU acknowledged that the materials were different strains of the pathogen Fusarium graminearum
