@R_H_Ebright comment sums it up nicely

The new viruses--named BANAL-20-52, BANAL-20-103, BANAL 20-236, BANAL 20-116, and BANAL 20-147--all are *less similar* than RaTG13 to SARS-CoV-02.

BANAL indeed.
But maybe not so BANAL after all...

Can someone break the news to Eddie Holmes gently?

"None of these bat viruses harbors a furin cleavage site in the spike"

"Identification of strains of animal origin with a furin cleavage site may require additional sampling"

researchsquare.com/article/rs-871…
More on Furin Cleavage Site

However, we found no furin site in any of these viruses. Lack of furin cleavage may be explained by by acquisition of the furin cleavage site through passages of the virus in an alternate host"
"Finally, where these intergenomic recombinations arose and the epidemiological link with the first human cases remains to be established"
US DoD and Pasteur Institute were there in Feuang District where the closest bat coronavirus, Banal 20 52, came from, back in 2017, bat sampling....where they sampled several Rhinolophus Malayanus...

All cov sequences generated from frugivorous bats (family Pteropodidae) clustered with other bat βCoVs of lineage D, whereas one coronavirus from Pipistrellus coromandra fell in the lineage C of βCoVs which also includes the MERS-CoV.

@Daoyu15 @jhas5 @Fynnderella1 Not sure what your point is ragrding hACE2 mice infection.

Have you read all the other hACE2 mouse model papers that show SC2 infection.

I have!

Here are 15 of them, please read them:

1. Animal models for SC2 and SC1 pathogenesis & transmission

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC87…
@Daoyu15 @jhas5 @Fynnderella1 2. Mouse Models for SC2 Infection

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC85…

3. Highly susceptible hACE2-transgenic mouse model for SC-2 research

frontiersin.org/journals/micro…

4. Inducible hACE2 transgenic mouse model recapitulates SC-2 infection & pathogenesis in vivo

pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…
@Daoyu15 @jhas5 @Fynnderella1 5. Mouse Model of SC-2 Infection & Pathogenesis

6. Mouse models of lung-specific SC-2 infection

7. Comparison of transgenic & adenovirus hACE2 mouse models for SARS-CoV-2 infection

@Ticklicker56 @Biorealism Yes, we thoroughy researched this issue some time ago.

Difficult to prove anything, but certainly raises suspicions.
@Ticklicker56 @Biorealism Interestingly, the E protein and nsp7 of ZC45 are 100% identical to those of SARS-COV-2.

Even Holmes (Wu et al., 2020) listed ZC45 as closest in Feb 2020 until the RaTG13 full genome was published in March

nature.com/articles/s4158…
@Ticklicker56 @Biorealism Phylogenetic trees and analysis from the early days

nature.com/articles/s4158…

What's unusual is that Wu & Holmes (2020) did NOT inlcude the RdRp of SC2 in the analysis

Holmes definitely knew of the RdRp of RaTG13 (4991) and RaTG13's sequence since 2018

🧵The Censorship of an Innocent Monkey!

by the following Western "science" websites:

@biorxivpreprint

@medrxivpreprint

and Chinese news websites:

@globaltimesnews

@PDChina

Let's see what disturbs them so much that they have to censor certain comments?

1. Spiked: The Hunt For The Origin of Covid-19

Good news @BlueAntMedia is going to publish it

Many #DRASTIC interviews including myself 🐵

"SPIKED tells the inside story of one of humanity’s biggest & most pressing mysteries: the debate over the origins of COVID-19"

Clip 👇
2. The Making of the Documentary (20 minutes)

"Unfolding like true crime, this detective story takes us deep into clashing conspiracy theories & partisanship while exposing the dangers posed by experiments regularly taking place in the world’s biolabs"

worldscreenevents.com/premieres/spik…
3. Our film is a true crime detective thriller

"It’s about the future of biotech and the next pandemic. We wanted to make a contentious story really exciting, with twists and turns, that covers the science but with a strong dramatic structure"

and this is why they hate @X

Because their lies & propaganda are exposed

1. "For me with this data a lab origin is now more than likely" says @dr_louwen

Referring to ON876210 ( i think ;)



From authors of this paper (Submitted March 2020)

An Infectious cDNA Clone of SARS-CoV-2



h/t @Rebecca21951651 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/ON8762…
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
2. From 2020 Paper

“icSars_CoV_2 retained the engineered molecular markers & did not acquire other mutations”.

@dr_louwen considers that:

1. This increases the validity of the genetic finding

2. This isolate is highly similar to the wild type isolate 2019-nCoV/USA_WA1/2020
@dr_louwen 3. Point 2 above refers to "ON876210"

(My mistake in Tweet 1)

Submitted (29-JUN-2022) in the USA
