Gain of function?

Why?

Didn't read the link yet but reported by Beck this morning. Right or wrong, that's what researchers do to get grants. I heard that this new variant kills 95%.

 

"80% kill rate" They tested it on peeps? Where does that number come from? I call BS

 

As I have come to expect of your Posts, you combine lack of knowledge with politics and media blahblah to arrive at the end result: Your opinion.

IT WAS NOT A GAIN OF FUNCTION STUDY/TEST/LETHAL STRAIN DEVELOPMENT END GOAL. NO. NADA. UPSO NYET.

Stop volunteering to be a Pink Mist Candidate on the internet chat sites, by typing stupidity.

The general purpose of the study was and is viral protein pathways research and study spike proteins differentials, to be ready for the next Pandemic. IT HAS NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH CREATING A NEW DEADLY STRAIN. MEDIA FEAR MONGERING WILL KILL US ALL, EVENTUALLY, THOUGH.

To explain in terms you will understand, it is equal to studying if the tootsie roll center or the hard candy shell portion of the Tootsie Roll Pop makes little Bartholomew sicker.

Got it?

You have proven that THERE ACTUALLY ARE STUPID QUESTIONS! Don't your Chinese handlers teach you anything? Hint, the lab does not test on HUMANS! However, IMO, the world would be much better if some humans were used rather than RATS!

 

You got nuffin. explain the 80%

 

No, he's completely right, and there's nothing to be afraid of here.

It was 80% of mice tested. Here's the article if you'd like to read it. It's free as it's a preprint.

Gene,
You need to stop posting as a knowledgeable, highly educated, gentleman. Thanks for the link. I only heard about it on the radio from someone who is over 96% correct when he mentions something; but did not know where to go to confirm it!

 

Whew. some dead mice. thanks for clearing that up.


I'll go and check that new crown royal and see if I survive

BTW ... did those mice just happen to eat a few grams of saccharine?

 

I love that you've posted this article because it's a perfect demonstration of how braindead fox "news" reports are. It's incredibly short and lacking in detail, so let's break it down.



It opens with a purposefully misleading headline. It's not more lethal to humans necessarily, but that's what they imply. The immediately after link a completely unrelated story to the video stoking Fauci conspiracy.

Not a strong start.



Highlighted yellow is my least favorite thing about fox news articles. The links. At virtually every other news website, these inline links would go to a source they are writing about. Perhaps the research paper they are discussing could be pertinent. But no, the paper itself is never linked in the whole article, they don't want you to leave their site and look at the source. This is especially evident when you see what those links go to, it's laughably just keyword searches on Foxnews.com.





Now for the blue highlight above.

Super misleading as the original wild type virus was more deadly than the engineered one. Fox is trying to make people think this rate could apply to humans.



Weird unrelated picture with leading caption. Yellow highlight, same as last point about blue highlight, but hilariously they already need to repeat it despite the article being so short.



First highlight, I think it's really funny that one of the few things the article stated responsibly, the OP came out of it with the opposite impression when creating this thread.

Second highlight, conspiracy stoking. Some people believe the moon landing was fake. Some people believe the earth is flat. Should we write that in every article relating to the earth?



No real conclusion. Tacks on disclaimer at the end after inserting another unrelated video and a plug for their app.

Seriously though, how can anyone call this news?

Thanks for making this point. What you see on the BOOB TUBE is entertainment - PERIOD!

There are better places to get an unbiased report on what goes on it the world. On occasion it is even foreign media.

 

Don’t assume, do you know what that makes you? Please little gene, enlighten us exactly how YOU came up with this conjecture by what I posted. Think….

 

What am I supposed to think based on your title and article contents?

It's like if I posted an article that said clearly "Bees are not secretly ants in jumpsuits" but titled it "Bees, ants in jumpsuits?"

 

It’s obvious you, like JN, have reading comprehension deficiencies. I posted in the title “ Gain of function? Notice the punctuation. Then I posted Why?( again punctuation) with a link . Defend how you came to your claim and how my posted words lead you to come up with your response. I suggest you think real damn hard and do some research before you respond. Btw, your link is not what I originally posted.

 

Yes it is.

Why write that at all? A general problem with the right I find annoying is that ignorance and conspiracy are allowed to proliferate under the guise of "just asking questions" and we shouldn't entertain that premise because not all questions or viewpoints are equal.

 

NO! It’s not! I gave you a chance.


I’m

See, @charley seems to be the only one (not surprisingly) smart enough to see that this was meant to spur an intellectual conversation based on what was supplied and use facts in their response. Unfortunately, this post has flown over your head like an A-10 at an air show. I assumed you had a brain from previous exchanges we have had but it’s become apparent, as your side approaches an ass whipping in the midterms, you have become more leftist.
Again, relate my words, with punctuation, with your opinions.

 

Click your own link from the original post. I can't help that fox so poorly documents when it updates or adds information to an article that it reclassifies it as "published"

 

So you are admitting your post is wrong? Show us the pages of corrections/ updates from the NYTs and all of your trusted sources on Hunter laptop. AGAIN, show me how my posting ,in context, proves how YOU came up with your assertion that I thought, and was expressing, that this was GOF!

 

Show me the updates and corrections on your original article. Oh wait, you can't because fox is a joke of a news source that doesn't even provide that information.

That you were questioning it at all is nuts and ignorant is the point.
