Some new research from two Japanese scientists has discovered, or at least posits (using science), “That the Omicron variants are formed by a completely new mechanism that cannot be explained by previous biology.” What they mean is that they do not appear to have occurred naturally.
To determine the order of mutations leading to the formation of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants, we compared the sequences of 129 Omicron BA.1-related, 141 BA.1.1-related, and 122 BA.2-related isolates, and attempted to clarify the evolutionary processes of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants, including the order of mutations leading to their formation and the occurrence of homologous recombination. As a result, we concluded that the formation of a part of Omicron isolates BA.1, BA.1.1, and BA.2 was not the product of genome evolution, as is commonly observed in nature, ..
So, the data (The Science!) suggests that those COVID-19 variants that keep hiking to the top of media headline mountain whenever the Public Health Industrial Complex needs them appear lab-generated, just like the original.
Mark Styen has more pull quotes and his top-shelf snarky insight here, and I don’t want to detract from the science he’s already explored, but (as a quick aside) the phrase from which I can’t seem to achieve escape velocity is “a completely new mechanism that cannot be explained by previous biology.”
You mean like transwomen. A mental projection of self – you decide if or how unhealthy – that can’t be explained by previous biology because biology has nothing to do with it. No amount of hormone treatments or surgery will alter the underlying genetic truth. If you were born a man, you’d die one, no matter how many times you replace the carpet or the drapes. That’s the science. But politically driven culture (with apologies to Mr. Breitbart, may he rest in peace) is forcing biology, much like it has geology, climate, and others, to ignore the truth.
That, I suspect, is what the Japanese scientists cited by Mr. Steyn (neither of whom are transwomen) have done. While they claim that the data shows them that the variants could not have occurred naturally, (“The fact that most of these mutations occurred without synonymous mutations (Fig. 2) suggests that none of these mutations arose as a result of trial-and-error random mutations in nature,”) they feel it necessary to ask, “is there any reason to artificially create these mutants, which are unlikely to have occurred naturally, given the current SARS-CoV-2 epidemic?”
Is there? Any reason?
If you ask the transwoman party, the answer could be upcoming elections, flagging booster uptake, creeping liberty, the depopulation agenda, or becasue they can. And yes, they can. It is widely accepted that the original SARS-CoV2-WIV was created in Wuhan and escaped or was released deliberately. So why is it unlikely that the same process was not applied to variants that appear to rise in prevalence when needed most?
It is inimical to virus research to consider that artificially synthesized viruses were deliberately spread throughout the world… Furthermore, we do not conclude that these viruses were artificially synthesized and distributed based on malicious intent.
For what other purpose were they synthesized? Better yet, why or how do these artificially synthesized variants of the killer COVID virus (created for non-malicious purposes) keep escaping from the lab?
Good questions. Mark Steyn has an even better one.
As I mentioned the other day, when this thing got going, my initial assumption was that, as with SARS, the Chinese were lying to the world. It then became plain that, in fact, the Americans – Fauci and the public-health bureaucracy – were lying to the world, about taxpayer-funded “gain-of-function” research offshored via a CIA front to Wuhan. Among the more curious details in the new Japanese paper is this:
The following results presented in this study may support the hypothesis that the Omicron variants may have been artificially synthesized rather than naturally occurring:
1) the presence of Omicron variant-associated isolates with one mutation site being Wuhan-type;
2) the almost complete absence of synonymous mutations in the S protein in these isolates;
3) the Omicron variant, which should have been first reported to WHO from South Africa on November 24, 2021, was already endemic in Puerto Rico in 2020, and that there were isolates that were recombinants between Omicron strains BA1 and BA2. [EMPHASIS ADDED]
How about that? Puerto Rico is a territory not of Japan but of the United States. Yet it takes a couple of guys in Osaka and Kyoto to reveal that the Omicron was endemic on American turf over a year before its official release date? Is it really credible that Fauci & Co didn’t know that? And, if not, do they know where it came from?
Nothing to see here. More conspiracy theories from a pair of Japanese domestic terrorists. Medical misinformation. Just move along.
No, I don’t think we will.
