Interesting Twitter Post on Covid, FIPS, and Furin Cleavage Sites.
2023-07-23
Here's as good a place to start as any: it's beginning to look like they made SARS-2-Covid by splicing bits and pieces from FIP into a bat coronavirus.

I think we need a "The Lights Of Perverted Science" category.

#4  To make a long story short: they spliced together parts of a really nasty respiratory virus with bits and pieces of FIP.

FIP stands for Feline Infectious Peritonitis.

Which you can read about here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_infectious_peritonitis.

Which means after three years of saying "This is like FIP for humans" I found out the bastards actually probably spliced FIP bits into their SARS second draft.

Which means it's going to be persistent in the population and difficult to vaccinate against, and a pain in the ass whenever it mutates to the worse form.

#3  It’s like splicing gingivitis DNA until something results that creates additional dentist revenue.

#2  Perhaps the best article so far this year to purport to use English as a language and yet be utterly indecipherable to the naked mind.

To paraphrase the meme of the Marxist left -
China Scientists Bad?
