[2021-04-09 21:58:10] [Eddie Holmes] [thread - ID: 2021-04-09 17:16:24] @Eddie Holmes Yes, he had a decent go. [2021-04-10 09:21:48] [Robert Garry] Kristian - When the CCP army releases SARS7 on a pandemic weary post-apocalyptic world - where only its Super-Soldiers are immune - you will likely regret not following up on the miracle cure from the prawn-like insects.

Growing virus and then inactivating it basically destroys many of the key epitopes. This is settled science. [2021-04-11 09:56:23] [Robert Garry] More false dichotomies from Ridley and Alina""There is still no sign of an original animal source of SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan, or the rest of Hubei province. Horseshoe bats that live in the area have been extensively sampled for viruses for years without SARS-CoV-2-like viruses showing up. Therefore, the strongest connection between such viruses in Yunnan and the human outbreak in Wuhan is the WIV, and the fact that it had collected SARS-like viruses from the Mojiang mine."https://archive.is/C95s2#selection-1379.340-1379.766 They really are idiots... [2021-04-11 10:39:14] [Kristian Andersen] "They really are idiots" - honestly, I think that's exactly right. To them, the fact that we haven't found a positive bat (or whatever) yet is somehow a mystery - anybody with _any_ level of experience in the field would know better. But they don't have any experience....
