| LjL | "This is really interesting. Is it essentially saying that as most people get Covid over and over and over again, the selective pressure shifts from evading vaccine-induced immunity to evading infection-induced immunity, and a byproduct of that may be that our vaccines (assuming they continue to be taken by relatively few people) may actually work better again?" | 02:47 |

| ublx | ^ 'It’s inexcusable.' - animal genetic material and sars-cov-2 genetic material. discovered in an animal market. in wuhan | 20:25 |
| ublx | this is news how exactly? what am i missing? | 20:25 |
| Brainstorm | New from r/Coronavirus: Coronavirus: Three years into the pandemic, it’s clear COVID won’t fix itself. Here’s what we need to focus on next → https://old.reddit.com/r/Coronavirus/comments/11uvzd1/three_years_into_the_pandemic_its_clear_covid/ | 20:26 |
| LjL | ublx, it's all a silly dance to "prove" it's a lab leak vs it's not a lab leak | 20:27 |
| LjL | nobody has actual evidence | 20:28 |
| LjL | but the camps are very loud and outraged anyway | 20:28 |
| LjL | meanwhile Fauci said that if it were a virus that a researcher got from a bat cave, then took to a laboratory, then infected others with | 20:28 |
| LjL | that would still be classified as a natural event, as no GoF or other research would have been conducted, it simply "happened" to occur in a lab | 20:29 |
| LjL | surely a definition of "natural event" that i bet many billions of people would take issue with, but who am i to know | 20:29 |
| ublx | a researcher (unnamed) for a group (unnamed) discovered the data (apparently recently) in a GISAID database where it had been deposited 8 months ago | 20:34 |
| ublx | "The samples do not prove the pandemic began at the market, but the research team (unnamed) that contacted WHO says they offer support for the theory that the virus likely jumped from animals there into humans." | 20:35 |
| ublx | how does finding animal genetic material in an animal market suggest anything? other than that there were animals in the animal market? | 20:35 |
| ublx | sars-cov-2 genetic found in extremely crowded urban congruence in wuhan. i am shocked. i had no idea wuhan featured in the covid story. this is truly astonishing | 20:37 |
| LjL | ublx, there is stuff that's a little more refined, now i don't remember how to get to the URL but i saw a discussion of the initial clusters and which parts of the city they covered, and how they were centered around the market, with neat maps | 20:39 |
| LjL | still might be bollocks, but you're probably making it even more so for comedic effect | 20:40 |
| ublx | the timing is curious. why foreground this now? if the story had substance i'd expect the substance to be included in the reports | 20:41 |
| ublx | it strikes me as horseshit. horseshit appearing while US-china relations deteriorate precipitously | 20:42 |
| ublx | but that couldn't be related could it because the WHO is an international non-partisan agency | 20:43 |
| ublx | just a coincidence i guess | 20:43 |
| ublx | i guess some citations of substance will appear sooner or later to clear all this up | 20:44 |
| ublx | the link to the previous day's science.org article seems more substantively descriptive and includes names of researchers: https://www.science.org/content/article/covid-19-origins-missing-sequences | 20:55 |
| ublx | but it contains this oddity: ".. the data’s discovery and subsequent disappearance will certainly raise questions .. But Andersen and his colleagues hope Gao’s team will now make the sequences widely available. “We have urged China CDC and our colleagues there to release this data as soon as possible,” he says." | 20:57 |
| ublx | why urge China's CDC to (re)release the data as soon as possible? didn't you download the data? | 20:58 |
| ublx | oh apparently they did: "Michael Worobey, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Arizona who was a lead author of one of the papers, says he and his collaborators are still analyzing the new genetic information, ..." | 20:58 |
| ublx | "Débarre and colleagues plan to post a report of their findings once their analysis is complete, but they hope the Chinese researchers will revise their preprint to include the full sequence data from the Huanan market and repost it first." | 21:02 |
| ublx | welp, looking forward to that | 21:02 |
| LjL | <ublx> the timing is curious. why foreground this now? if the story had substance i'd expect the substance to be included in the reports ← because it happened to be now that this US agency has pushed lab leak again, duh | 21:06 |
| ublx | well, yeah, that too | 21:06 |
| ublx | actually probably that more than anything i guess | 21:08 |
