Virologist, comparative virus/host interactions of HIV, Flu, Ebola and SARS CoV-2 Unashamed fan of loud shouty music. Not left-wing, not right-wing, not too fond of historical or present day fascists.

As a Brit I find it wryly amusing that Quay named his cancer startup Atossa (for unoriginal classical allusions). The last 6 years of his laughable, malicious and biologically illiterate SARS2 theses prove only that he is undoubtedly a tosser.

Steven Quay, in line to be NIAID director, is not just any lab leaker. He is of the type of leakers who still talk about "HIV inserts". He has deleted his tweets from 2021-2025, so here are some screenshots to give you an idea of who Quay is: ▫️1/🧵 #covidorigin #quayniaid

I’ve read some great books this year, but this is probably the most moving and profound. And unfortunately probably more relevant now in the Western World that it has been at any time since its publication in 1946.

I’ve been reading a few ‘great American novels’ recently and I am continually stuck by commentary saying novel x or y is ‘one of the most challenged books’ in US high schools. In a country that deludes itself that it is free and the first amendment is almost as sacrosanct as the second.

Even the Telegraph’s resident Catholic fundamentalist now gets it. But where is the column from their self-appointed arbiter of all scientific knowledge, climate change denialist and (bizarrely) coal mining magnate Viscount Matt Ridley?

Not only did they ‘admit they couldn’t rule it out’ they actually explicitly wrote that in a published paper entitled….er… ‘The Proximal Origin of SARS CoV-2’. Unfortunately for Rand Paul, 5 years worth of subsequent research has ruled it out.

Epic paper from @juanmartin-serrano.bsky.social group KCL in collaboration with with Wes Sundquist and Adam Frost. ESCRT-III filaments coat naked DNA that remains in the cytokinetic bridge between daughter cells to prevent DNA damage while the cells engage regulatory processes to sort the problem.

Very proud to see this paper out. This is an incredible collaboration with the labs of Wes Sundquist and Adam Frost. @uofubiochem.bsky.social @kingslsm.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As we enter the third week of UK temperatures of 30-36 C, I am starting to wonder where the Viscount Matt Ridley is? I for one am certainly missing his flowery articles in the Telegraph and Spectator about how we are all mistaken and that there is no such thing as climate change.

So Nigel Farage and co are now using the death of a 78 year old woman to roll the pitch saying MPs are not protected to justify his £5M gift from the Thai-based crypto billionaire. Even though the police are stressing they have no evidence at the moment of any political motivation. Typical Reform

Ok Farage. Show us the photographic or film evidence of this ‘mob attack’ on your car that left it a write off while you were in it. I admire your restraint in not making it public or trying to use it for political gain. Very unlike you we should chalk this up to to shit that never happened

Imagine the mind set of someone like a RFKjr or Jay Bhattacharya who would rather condemn women to a terrible death by cervical cancer than endorse an unambiguously safe vaccine that prevents it. (Also give it to boys and squash the incidence of HPV16 throat cancer) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

HPV vaccine means young women now have 'close to zero' risk of cervical cancer death

A new study finds that hundreds of lives have been saved since school-age girls were offered the HPV jab in 2008.

Yep, it’s bright green. And smells. Except for the top 10% by the Lincoln memorial where 10 guys are desperately vacuuming up the algae. Amd when they’re done they will have to start again. $20M well spent
