If you surf (or troll) meme sights, you’re likely to observe a rise in sh!t posting about the prices of eggs. It was getting out of hand before the Connecticut egg farm burned down and took 100,000 chickens with it.
Eggs are about to get more expensive.
More from iFunny in a minute because the latest egg news circling the internet is that their power to fight SARS, especially COVID, is a known scientific quantity.
The National Institute of Health’s own studies shows that Chicken Egg Yolk antibodies actually block the binding of multiple SARS-COV-2 Spike protein variants to human ACE2.
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is still spreading worldwide, and there is an urgent need to effectively prevent and control this pandemic. This study evaluated the potential efficacy of Egg Yolk Antibodies (IgY) as a neutralizing agent against the SARS-CoV-2. We investigated the neutralizing effect of anti-spike-S1 IgYs on the SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, as well as its inhibitory effect on the binding of the coronavirus spike protein mutants to human ACE2. Our results show that the anti-Spike-S1 IgYs showed significant neutralizing potency against SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, various spike protein mutants, and even SARS-CoV in vitro. It might be a feasible tool for the prevention and control of ongoing COVID-19.
Coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has become a global pandemic disease that has social and economic chaos. An alternative mitigation strategy may involve the use of specific immunoglobulin (Ig)-Y derived from chicken eggs.
There are more like this. It is not fringe science or conspiracy theory, but if you’re looking for a conspiracy theory, acts of domestic terrorism against the food supply are on the radar. We can add egg farms because, hey – egg yokes might be an accessible prophylactic to COVID, so let’s make them more expensive or just inaccessible to anyone but the jet-setting climate conference-crashing global elite.
Or something like that.
Here are a few more memes.
