@BetterSkeptics #gtcentry Falsification:

[00:39:34] Heather: the authors of the Quillette article don't seem to know what prophylaxis means.
...
[00:40:48] Bret: Yeah, so they absolutely screw up. And somehow it got through the editing process.
"They screw up that, that fundamental distinction.
...
the issue that we are going to argue is absolutely central that they have completely botched and having botched it, when you see how the logic correctly works, you'll understand why their entire argument must be wrong"
This is a resubmission of a clearly false claim that was not assessed by all of the refs on its merits.

This claim by B&H is important as they open with it their critique of our arguments in their podcast and use it to erroneously undermine our credibility (see attached). Image
Just because initially Heather uses the "seems" word does not absolve this claim from being false. And even if one might deem our wording confusing, and think that this is the reason for B&H making their mistake, the fact of the matter is that it is still a mistake, i.e. false.

Wait a minute. Could it be that the Carvallo study was initially sponsored by this Austrian company selling carrageenan spray? Their investor pitch deck references the Carvallo study and some other studies of their branded carrageenan spray in Argentina.
They also seem to have ran an RCT on just their carrageenan (without IVM) in Argentina. Maybe they ran it and it showed no efficacy and *that* is why Carvallo then said carageenan is irrelevant?
This is their clinicaltrials.gov entry:

It is also a trial in hospital workers.

@BetterSkeptics #gtcentry Unsupported claim:
[02:21:25] And then the other place that we have a signal, which I think suggests something we need to worry farther down the road. You tell me, Robert, if I'm on the right track here or not. But the fact that it shows up concentrating
in bone marrow.

[02:21:39] Steve: Bad news.

[02:21:40] Bret: Actually that suggests that you could end up with-- And I'm not saying this is gonna happen, but I'm saying we need to look for something like leukemias showing up here, because of their creation in the bone marrow."
As I outlined in detail in another submission, mRNA vaccines carry no oncorisk:

@BetterSkeptics #gtcentry Unsupported claim:

[02:21:40] Bret: I know from other work, that it also seems to show up preferentially in-in, uh, lymph nodes, which raises the question of whether or not, uh, lymphomas might be created.
Lymphomas are a group of blood cancers caused by an oncotransformation of lymphocytes, a subclass of immune system cells which includes T- and B-cells.

For cells to turn cancerous, driver mutations are necessary. Such mutations are usually endogenous
but could also be caused by external factors: radiation or chronic exposure to external carcinogens, e.g. asbestos or cigarette smoke.

Mutations must happen in the DNA of such cells, which is located in the nucleus.

Headline from Israel: “Pfizer Shot Just 39% Effective Against Delta Infection, But Largely Prevents Severe Illness, Israel Study Suggests”

Knee-jerk reaction: OMG, vaccines suck. Then I look at the actual data. Resulting reaction: OMG, these vaccines are amazing!!!
Look at the right side of this graph. Even if you were fully vaccinated as far back as in January, the vaccine decreases your risk of severe Covid by almost 10x.

And the left hand side provides a very clear picture: vaccine effectiveness against Delta wanes in a predictable way:
March and April jabs still provide good protection. And a third booster shot should still provide GREAT protection against Delta.

OMG @HeatherEHeying if you don’t think we have evidence that Covid vaccines prevent transmission, you are disqualified from speaking about vaccines or biology ever again.

And @BretWeinstein just because you think you were “right” about the lab leak hypothesis in no way
means that you could be right about conspiracy to suppress true vaccine dangers or that ivermectin works. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

And yes, you *have* lost your minds here. It is good to see you trying to backtrack your positions but nothing short of
a full retraction of misguided vaccine fears and unsupported claims of IVM prophylactic efficacy will exonerate you.

Until then, if you keep spreading this deadly misinformation, you indeed ARE KILLING PEOPLE.

Fauci is lying. What did the NIH-funded 2017 WIV paper describe? They took 8 different bat SARS-like viruses, cut out their receptor binding domains, and pasted them into the WIV1 backbone (progenitor of the first SARS virus) to check if the new chimeras would infect human cells.
Let me reiterate. They took the WIV1 backbone, which is derived from Rs3367, the virus Shi Zhengli discovered in Yunnan in 2011, which is the closest known relative of the human SARS virus: 96% close.

They then replaced the RBD in WIV1 by RBDs from 8 other SARS-like CoVs.
Is this potential gain-of-function research? You bet. Even before they checked actual infectivity, there is a reasonable expectation that inserting those new RBDs could increase WIV1 tropism to human ACE2.
