Can you post a study saying otherwise (that they're genetically similar enough to be the same stain)?
So, you are saying that you don't have proof that it wasn't bio-engineered? I sent the guy in the video the studies and asked him his opinion. I will let you know if he responds.
No, I'm saying the guy with the better access to the latest databases, training in epidemiology & genetics superior to yours or mine is saying the evidence is lacking to support an engineered virus. I'm then countering your argument that having some genetic similarities to similar viruses doesn't really mean much if the forensics don't back it up.
There’s an Indian research paper, not going to look it up someone else can, showing the SARS-Covid-2 has a genetic profile linking HIV to SARS, this splicing has not been found in nature. For some reason Bats are immune to these viruses. I’m under the belief China was studying this and somehow accidentally let it out. Even more likely when we learned they were selling lab animals to the wet market. Either way, it’s here. Let’s focus on getting thru this mess.
Some people too. Some little village in Northern Scotland had a small pocket of plague survivors. Since they were the only ones left they ended up populating a small area and there are quite a few of them. They are called "Double Deltas" and they are immune to plague, HIV and a lot of other viruses.
Yeh, crazy and interesting stuff. Tis the way nature rolls. The genetic defects/alterations provide new strengths and also pass along weaknesses that must be worked out on the playground over time. https://www.wired.com/2005/01/genetic-hiv-resistance-deciphered/ I was reading the other day that dupuytren's contracture used to be called "Viking disease" because about a third of norwegians have it to some degree and of course the viking genetics extend into ireland, scotland ......etc. Genes. Don't leave home without them.
Unfortunately its not a feature that can be used to make a vaccine or otherwise benefit anyone else. Its just a genetic mutation of their immunological system that is non-transferable.
Ahhh. I dunno. That gets down into the bowels of the benefits of dna sequencing research and so-called genomic medicine. So for example, research identifies the strengths or deficiencies that derive from a certain gene being expressed or suppressed and while you cannot necessarily transfer the genetics you can develop drugs that target the expression of that particular gene. More than can be discussed in posts. Just sayin, long term their continues to be benefits like that coming from the forever genome sequencing projects.
