The mutation in the spike protein of circulating #SARSCoV2 has been the focus of many stories over the last couple of days. We and others have shown that coronaviruses exist

Sigh. Anyway let’s educate. There are many vaccine technologies and using weakened or dead organisms is only ONE method of doing it. There are others. The mRNA vaccine tech is

What I know about COVID vaccine: it has been in the works for 3 years, initially for SARS and MERS, first RNA vaccine of its kind. In the initial animal

1/ There is growing evidence that T-cell immunity allows populations to reach herd immunity once only 10-20% are infected with SARS-CoV-2.This would explain why a highly transmissible virus in densely

Ok, let's do thought experiment. Why is #COVID-19 terrible and wreaked havoc? Because it can cause severe disease in some (vulnerable) unlike its cousins- the coronaviruses that cause colds. Say

Lots of buzz on emerging data on what mutations in spike protein could mean for binding of antibodies.Unfortunately some have sensationalized really beautiful data built on years of studying other

Coronaviruses cause 20% of common colds. Did you know that testing positive for Covid19 could simply mean you have the common cold? Now take a look again at the "number

I want to explain this, since fucking moron @marcorubio is spreading more COVID disinformation. (After pushing to the front of the line for vaccines.) Fauci hasnt lied once. Marco is

I am a genomics researcher and I investigated mutations in more than 50,000 coronavirus genomes so far this year.This new variant has a number of features that could raise concern

Lots of fear, panic about new mutant for #Covid19 that is named VUI-2012/01 and is sweeping the UK. Let's talk about this serial number and why it is worth acknowledging

Thanks JE! Up to date info, total weekly deaths, which are very close to normal for early Nov. I say again: you can’t have a lethal pandemic stalking the land

1/ Growing research demonstrating importance of protective T-cells against SARS-CoV-2 combined w/ prior research on influenza viruses suggest that nasal mucosa T-cells may explain the rising number of "positive" PCR

Contrary to recent claims, #SARSCoV2 is expected to be seasonal, as are essentially all >200 respiratory viruses in circulation, including the four 'common cold' coronaviruses (see below). (1/5)Source: https://smw.ch/article/doi/
