White House Revamps COVID-19 Website to Promote Lab Leak Theory
I'm afraid there is no point debating with this lot. I've worked 20+ years in infectious disease, in BSL2 through BSL4 labs. The very first Chinese vaccine was Sinovac. This was a conventional inactivated virus that had been propagated through a chimpanzee sell line. As a result, the manufactured virus contained Chimp RNA, not Human RNA. Chimps, while closely related to Men, are not Men. So the vaccine didn't work. As vaccines go, that was one of the easiet to make. For any virus, if you can propoagate it in bulk, the rest is relatively a piece of cake and the risks well understood. I've said repeatedly, there are not 3 possibilities, but at least 4 possibilities, in order of decreasing likelihood 1. Zoonitic transmission on the local wet market, or some other place. 2. Accidental leakage from the institute reference lab. The Wuhan Lab wasn't just a research lab. Its a reference lab as well. That means it received hundreds of samples a week from hospital labs in the surrounding area. There is a major trade in bat guano; locals are digging holes to mine deposits themselves, for extra money. We are finding a ton of new coronaviruses as this activity increases. The reference labs are BSL-2. For those who know what that means, its significant. 3. Accidental leakages from the institute research lab. Coronavirus research was carried out in BSL-4 labs. Again, anyone familiar with BSL-4 will know the physical controls in place. 4. Deliberate release. Every city on the planet will have at least 1 hospital. And that hospital will have at least one pathology laboratory. And in those labs, lab techs will be deliberately growing, or attempting to grow, extremely infectious agents, some more virulant than other, but all of them disease causing in humans, Hence the diagnostic tests in a hospital. At the end of testing, waste is supposed to be autoclaved (steam sterilised) before entering general waste. But that doesn't always happen. Sometimes the plates get dropped straight into the black bags. Sometimes the autoclave breaks down. Sometimes the cycle doesn't complete, and there is no indicator tape, All this happens every day around the world. Outbreaks are not occuring. Hospital acquired infections tend to be infections one patient gets from another, and is not an infection acquired from the hospital per se. The last Foot and Mouth Virus outbreak in the UK, in 2007, was due to an accidental lab release. Pretty much the entire herd had to be culled. What confused scientists was that the strain found was identical to a 1968 strain, which ought not be possible. There were fears that carcasses from the 1968 outbreak, which had been buried, were now contaminating the water table. But the penny dropped. The source of the outbreak was the main veterinary research lab at Pirbright. The facility consists of the DEFRA labs, and lab accomodation rented to a range of companies manufacturing veterinary medicines.. One of the tenants manufacturers FMV vaccine for export. That means they propagated vast quantities of virus, to inactivate to become vaccine. So there was a lot of virus rich effluent, which was pumped via a pipe to an onsite treatment works, before the slurry was discharged into the municipal sewer. For months he tenant had been in argument with the landlord, DEFRA, over a cracked pipe, and who was going to pay for it. In the meantime, vets came and went from the lab carpark, and the virus was introduced onto the farms. Probably hundreds of contamination events occurred before the outbreak happened. Not surprising, when one considers that lab outbreaks are rare, because the infection itself is difficult. -
