Omicron variant, look, if we are going to delay omicron's arrival, then we need 1) south Africa travel ban, 2) Germany travel ban, 3) a ban on everywhere else with probable community spread (i.e., more than 5 cases) and we need to quarantine foreign travelers returning to the US we screwed-up SARS-CoV-2 not by banning Chinese travel, but by not banning European travel when Brussels failed to act. All apologies to i miei amici, but we should have banned Italy _immediately_ upon recognition of community spread.

1/n Dear fellow Dark Horse Podcast fans. I believe that Bret Weinstein really has wanted to get people's attention on risks of mRNA vaccines that have been systematically ignored. Some of these concerns are more evidenced than others, and most, hopefully all will wind up not... 2/n ...being clinically significant. Bret wants you all to think for yourselves, and I don't think wants anybody to make a judgment just because he says so. If it is an individual's choice to get vaccinated due to personal risks and benefits, then I do not believe that he wants..

The US, for their part, are ready to accept the Chinese declaration according to which Peking would have known about the “escape” of the virus only recently and after a year of investigations and that they will...

1/"Aim 3. In vitro and in vivo characterization of SARSr-CoV spillover risk, coupled with spatial and phylogenetic analyses to identify the regions and viruses of public health concern. We will use S protein sequence data, infectious clone technology, in vitro and in vivo... 2/infection experiments and analysis of receptor binding to test the hypothesis that % divergence thresholds in S protein sequences predict spillover potential. We will combine these data with bat host distribution, viral diversity and phylogeny, human survey of risk behaviors...

The Wuhan Lab-Leak Scenario Is Still Plausible nationalreview.com/the-morning-jo…

Thanks to @jimgeraghty who has endured my tags on every point which I find salient to his virus interest in the Twittersphere - I owe you a hot chocolate for your patience. 'NBC News states, “scientists say that scenario is unlikely on its face, because animal-to-human transmission of viruses are common, while lab accidents are relatively rare.”'

Geraghty: 'the word “relatively” is doing a lot of work in that sentence'
