White House Revamps COVID-19 Website to Promote Lab Leak Theory
You seem not to know about gain of function. The progenitor was a bat corona virus manipulated genetically and tested on humanised mice. This has resulted in a brand new virus. It's called Sars-CoV-2. Not found in nature and fully adapted to infect humans without any natural evolutionary process. -

International Students Face Sudden Visa Revocations via email and told to self deport
Because overseas students pay higher fees. In State students are heavily subsidised by everyone else. The vast majority of foreign students are self funded, at the highest rate, or are supported by grants or loans from their own governments. In this way, US universities are bringing in foreign cash into the US economy. International students add $44bn to the US economy, and support nearly 400,000 jobs. https://www.aau.edu/newsroom/leading-research-universities-report/new-analysis-shows-international-students-contributed The US Department of Commerce, when it was run by the 45th President, had broadly similar numbers in 2018 https://www.iie.org/research-initiatives/open-doors/economic-impact-of-international-students/ Higher Education is the 10th largest US export. Not only that, its an absolute force multiplier for US soft power. Those international graduates, doctorates, MBAs return home, to assume senior roles in their countries, and most will have fond memories of their time in the US. The percentage staying (converting their non-immigrant visa to immigrant, which is very hard and mostly depends on an employer petitioning Labor) starts at 20% and increases with increasing qualification (as expected, viz. Elon Musk) Sometimes the revenues of US universities can be pretty screwed up. I attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. On the face of it, it had fabulous facilities. But the library was facing budget problems. Normally, US university libraries are open 24 hours for access; students need it for all nighters, or for the so-called open boox exams which are a peculiar feature of US Higher Education (and tougher than what it sounds). So, they were running out of money and were forced to curtail opening hours and lay off staff. But the Atheltics Department saved them The Athletics Department, mostly because of the football team and track, had fantastic funding. Everyone on the football team was there on a scholarship, and the football team was really a business. Own accomodation, own chefs, and a student carpark full of top end cars, despite the students being of amateur status. The department dug around and found the money to keep the lights on. But, its all the same university, and the library is a shared resource. A shortfall in foreign student admissions, particularly the more lucrative postgraduate level, will likely see Universities see falls in revenues, and pressure to cut services or increase fees. I expect the move will cause fees for American students to increase, perhaps rendering higher education out of reach for most. This is not good if the US is expecting to reindustrialise, unless its expecting sweat shop factories as the future. -

Food for Thought > A Common Sense vaccine statement and a BS one...
Whack-job anti-vaxer on a post-Songkran rampage... Yeesh!!! And an OP post quoting a guy who has no qualifications as a doctor, public health expert, vaccine researcher, etc etc... Just another whack-job guy on the internet with his own anti-vax Substack rantings. This kind of stuff is SO far "Off the Beaten Track" that once you go down that deep dark hole, there's no coming back from it....
