Why? Just why? Why do these experiments and why publish them? You don’t have to believe that Covid came from a lab to find this sort of work just irresponsible.
They deliberately infected human cells and “human lung organoids” with man-made SADS viruses! In live, suckling mice the result was a 10,000-fold increase in viral growth in the brain. Leaving the darned viruses in pigs and bats is not good enough for these cowboys.

I can help here. You are welcome to give hep B only at birth to high risk as we do in UK and for all other babies start at eight weeks with the 6 in 1 jab. Oh, you don’t like multiple jabs either?
Peer nations do not give Hep B shots to infants on the first day of life when the mother is Hep B negative, via FDA official Tracy Beth Hoeg and @RWMaloneMD. Hoeg: "If we're talking about a universal recommendation and an extremely low risk situation for most babies ... and we

This is a really honest look at the realities of cancer blood testing. No matter what we hope they are, the reality of what they offer is somewhat different.
Hype or hope? Multi-cancer blood tests promise to spot dozens of cancers early- but does the evidence stack up? Today on @BBCFileOn4 I dig into one of medicine’s toughest topics: screening, & what this new tech might really mean for patients & the NHS https://t.co/0ZPgkhNkYm
