Brief.vtt @@ -0,0 +1,3956 @@ +WEBVTT + +00:00.000 --> 00:09.560 +Through where I think I'm at, now I'm going to give you my hypothesis in a nutshell and + +00:09.560 --> 00:15.920 +then I'm going to drink a beer and probably light a fire and see if I can read some comments + +00:15.920 --> 00:18.520 +before I go to bed. + +00:18.520 --> 00:23.880 +My current hypothesis is this, this likely originated from a laboratory source. + +00:23.880 --> 00:29.000 +Number one, laboratory leaks happen and you can look up many different articles including + +00:29.000 --> 00:36.060 +a few from Lynn Klotz who will show you definitively through history how leaks have happened through + +00:36.060 --> 00:43.080 +unintended infection, through waste products, lots of different ways and lots of different + +00:43.080 --> 00:45.440 +places it has happened. + +00:45.440 --> 00:50.040 +The second reason I believe this is true is because of the circumstantial bullseye, the + +00:50.040 --> 00:56.160 +idea that this broke out in Wuhan where the research on coronavirus was happening where + +00:56.160 --> 01:01.360 +the foremost groups were working on the foremost dangerous viruses and even though you want + +01:01.360 --> 01:06.160 +to say and people will tell you that this was BSL Level 4, most of the coronavirus work + +01:06.160 --> 01:12.600 +that is published in the literature is done in BSL Level 2 or BSL Level 3, even BSL Level + +01:12.600 --> 01:19.960 +3 is not a very strict biosafety level, I work in a BSL 3 level lab with my mice. + +01:19.960 --> 01:24.600 +And finally, the entangled financial interests I think are also very important to acknowledge + +01:24.600 --> 01:28.280 +here the amount of money that was given away to private equity, the amount of money + +01:28.280 --> 01:35.040 +that has been given away without context or identification to millions of corporations + +01:35.040 --> 01:40.000 +in America and the amount of money that is being given away through the Warp Speed Act + +01:40.000 --> 01:47.400 +that's allowing big pharma companies to make products that are guaranteed to be purchased + +01:47.400 --> 01:52.560 +or to be supported by government funding under the pretense that we need to bring as + +01:52.600 --> 01:56.440 +much of this to bear as possible. + +01:56.440 --> 01:59.600 +One of the things that you have to realize here, and I hadn't made this point yet but + +01:59.600 --> 02:07.400 +I know I'm glad I remembered, there is a federal law, the Defense Production Act, which allows + +02:07.400 --> 02:14.240 +the government to tell companies and corporations that they need to produce certain things at + +02:14.240 --> 02:20.120 +cost because it is for the benefit of all of the American people, for the benefit of + +02:20.120 --> 02:22.280 +America as a whole. + +02:22.280 --> 02:26.560 +This was an act that was designed to change the production of companies during World War + +02:26.560 --> 02:34.200 +One or World War Two and we could easily use this to direct pharmaceutical companies to + +02:34.200 --> 02:40.800 +develop specific things like, for example, produce hydrochloroquine or produce a vaccine + +02:40.800 --> 02:46.880 +of a particular design or a particular type and we could limit and control the amount + +02:46.880 --> 02:52.800 +of profit that was made so that nothing was, no one became rich from it. + +02:52.800 --> 02:55.840 +We could do the same thing with coronavirus testing. + +02:55.840 --> 03:00.960 +We could be using that act to make sure that no one is profiting from the testing, from + +03:00.960 --> 03:06.400 +the antibody testing and from the PCR testing, which I'm going to do another whole talk about + +03:06.400 --> 03:12.640 +that but PCR as a test is absurd right now and we know that because this test is not + +03:12.640 --> 03:18.920 +specific for SARS-CoV-2 but is only specific for SARS viruses in general and that means + +03:18.920 --> 03:23.040 +that we could, as I said before, be testing for the endemic version of the descendants + +03:23.040 --> 03:27.680 +of the original SARS, which are almost guaranteed to have gone through at least half of our + +03:27.680 --> 03:32.120 +population in the last decade and a half. + +03:32.120 --> 03:36.200 +So SARS-1 and its descendants have gone endemic, that's what I was just saying. + +03:36.200 --> 03:42.560 +The current PCR test is not specific for SARS-CoV-2 and that is known because it's the German + +03:42.600 --> 03:46.480 +company that originally produced it, knows that they've chosen a short sequence that + +03:46.480 --> 03:47.480 +they think is relevant. + +03:47.480 --> 03:53.320 +It is a short sequence that just comes from one of the open reading frame one proteins. + +03:53.320 --> 03:58.520 +We are being duped by a non-specific test and we would have gotten these numbers or + +03:58.520 --> 04:03.880 +numbers very similar to them with or without this pandemic because we've never looked for + +04:03.880 --> 04:07.560 +SARS viruses as they are spread through our population. + +04:07.560 --> 04:09.600 +We've just never looked. + +04:09.600 --> 04:12.520 +Nobody sampled for it until this year. + +04:12.520 --> 04:19.000 +It's a huge point to make because the SARS virus originally appeared in 2003 and disappeared + +04:19.000 --> 04:25.120 +in 2004 but it didn't really disappear, it just became not a problem. + +04:25.120 --> 04:32.440 +Descendants of that virus of various virulence and infectivity have circulated in the time + +04:32.440 --> 04:40.440 +since they didn't disappear and this test is not specific for any one of them and no one + +04:40.440 --> 04:45.920 +has ever done a study about how many descendants there are, how many people are infected, + +04:45.920 --> 04:51.000 +how many animals have been infected by it, etc. + +04:51.000 --> 04:59.280 +So that's a pretty interesting place to be in July of 2020. + +04:59.280 --> 05:06.240 +Thinking that there are descendants of the original SARS leak or leaks or zoonotic jumps + +05:06.240 --> 05:12.240 +which are building up an endemic signal in the background that could then be turned + +05:12.240 --> 05:18.400 +on in the flick of a switch, just kind of like Kevin McCurnan explained it in the video + +05:18.400 --> 05:24.480 +interview with me and a few other people where he said you could do it with HKU1. + +05:24.480 --> 05:26.600 +Just turn on the PCR and start monitoring it. + +05:26.600 --> 05:32.360 +You're going to see patterns of viruses moving through the population according to him. + +05:32.360 --> 05:38.040 +So if there are SARS descendants which could be used and misconstrued in that way, certainly + +05:38.040 --> 05:41.520 +that was a possibility that should have been considered from the very beginning of the + +05:41.520 --> 05:44.520 +pandemic and it was not. + +05:44.520 --> 05:50.680 +Certainly wasn't something that Kevin McCurnan brought up during his authorship of the paper + +05:50.680 --> 05:57.560 +that was let's say opposing the PCR test, opposing the PCR test by saying that some + +05:57.560 --> 06:00.840 +of the primers would make primer dimers. + +06:00.840 --> 06:08.880 +Never mind the whole pretense of being specific for a specific virus when the PCR test that + +06:08.880 --> 06:15.520 +was designed by the German lab was using sequences that they had found in Germany, sequences + +06:15.520 --> 06:19.080 +from German bats. + +06:19.080 --> 06:26.280 +I mean there was a lot of other reasons to lash out against the PCR test that was designed + +06:26.280 --> 06:32.920 +by Jorsten but primer dimers and this kind of thing was an odd sort of objection and + +06:32.920 --> 06:38.080 +if you look back and see who was on that paper, he will see that a number of early objectors + +06:38.080 --> 06:41.440 +were all roped in together. + +06:41.440 --> 06:45.760 +I think we're going to be coming back to that little gathering of quote unquote dissidents + +06:45.760 --> 06:50.240 +many many times in the next year or so. + +06:50.240 --> 06:55.080 +And so saying that we're being duped by a nonspecific PCR test is also really not specific + +06:55.080 --> 07:01.080 +enough even though right now this particular version of me was not completely queued in + +07:01.080 --> 07:06.440 +to the fact that this time that there could have been as many as 150 different variants + +07:06.440 --> 07:14.640 +of the test, 150 different variants of the test being utilized and being employed by maybe + +07:14.640 --> 07:20.280 +hundreds if not thousands of independent labs with various levels of quality control and + +07:20.280 --> 07:23.120 +certainly no oversight. + +07:23.120 --> 07:27.520 +And the crazy thing is as many of those small company labs that were doing a lot of the + +07:27.520 --> 07:33.520 +local testing especially in places where the testing was mandated, those are all gone. + +07:33.520 --> 07:35.920 +They don't exist anymore. + +07:35.920 --> 07:39.800 +Those companies took millions of dollars and they're gone. + +07:39.800 --> 07:43.720 +Their owners own houses and they're gone. + +07:44.720 --> 07:50.360 +And we're supposed to focus on the DNA fragments in the shot and forget about the fact that + +07:50.360 --> 07:58.920 +the whole the whole theater in the beginning to make worst case scenario real was wholly + +07:58.920 --> 08:01.080 +created out of out of fresh cloth. + +08:01.080 --> 08:08.200 +This is not sorry to start the show like this, but this is just the way it happened to be. + +08:08.200 --> 08:12.880 +I had this queued up for some reason. + +08:12.880 --> 08:17.040 +So the next thing that I want to say is our lack of biological knowledge and the general + +08:17.040 --> 08:23.120 +poor health of the of America, the American people is being used to create the crisis + +08:23.120 --> 08:26.560 +they need to divide and conquer us to ruin. + +08:26.560 --> 08:27.560 +Maybe America. + +08:27.560 --> 08:28.560 +I don't know. + +08:28.560 --> 08:29.560 +Crash the dollar. + +08:29.560 --> 08:30.560 +I don't know. + +08:30.560 --> 08:34.480 +Steel the rest of our are what limited treasury value we have left. + +08:34.480 --> 08:36.720 +I don't know. + +08:36.720 --> 08:42.360 +But I know for sure that they are combining our lack of biological knowledge and our general + +08:42.360 --> 08:49.120 +society's lack of good health and access to health care to create a crisis to usher + +08:49.120 --> 08:54.640 +in all kinds of changes that would otherwise never be necessary, and more importantly never + +08:54.640 --> 08:56.840 +be possible. + +08:56.840 --> 09:01.200 +Just like the Patriot acted 9-11. + +09:01.200 --> 09:06.760 +Highly profitable control mechanisms based on immunity are the near term goal. + +09:06.760 --> 09:11.040 +I believe this firmly now, there are too many people talking about it in the mainstream + +09:11.040 --> 09:13.920 +media hinting at it. + +09:13.920 --> 09:18.600 +Sound you hear is a single cicada, there are no crickets. + +09:18.600 --> 09:23.000 +Highly profitable control mechanisms, I'm talking about apps that you have to have and + +09:23.000 --> 09:27.680 +maybe even worse in order to cross state lines, in order to go to work, maybe in order to + +09:27.680 --> 09:31.560 +go to the store, you're going to have this happen. + +09:31.560 --> 09:36.760 +So there's going to be technology that needs to be distributed, there's going to be laws + +09:36.760 --> 09:40.560 +that are going to be need to be passed, there's going to be all kinds of products that need + +09:40.560 --> 09:47.000 +to be sold, and the whole idea is going to be to sell you on the idea that antibodies + +09:47.000 --> 09:51.960 +are the only evidence of immunity, and the only way to get antibodies is to get this + +09:51.960 --> 09:57.840 +vaccine, because a lot of people of course are not showing long lasting antibody levels, + +09:57.840 --> 10:02.200 +so even the people who've been infected, and that's what they're hyping right now is that + +10:02.200 --> 10:06.760 +you can get infected again, this is the narrative they're bringing to you so that they're going + +10:06.760 --> 10:12.480 +to tell you, the only way we're going to be sure is that if everybody gets vaccinated, + +10:12.480 --> 10:20.360 +and now we have billions of doses necessary, billions of doses backed by government money, + +10:20.360 --> 10:28.320 +backed by government mandate, controlled by apps, distributed yearly, we are talking + +10:28.320 --> 10:33.560 +about a very serious change in our healthcare system that will benefit the largest corporations + +10:33.560 --> 10:38.400 +and allow them to profit, because there are no controls on that profit right now, none + +10:38.400 --> 10:42.560 +at all, we have chosen to do nothing of the sort. + +10:42.560 --> 10:47.320 +That's why I'm sure this hypothesis is correct, the other reason why I'm sure this hypothesis + +10:47.400 --> 10:51.920 +is correct is, well I'm getting more sure that this hypothesis is correct, I don't want + +10:51.920 --> 10:57.200 +to sound like non-scientific here or non-objective, is because the guy that I first really got + +10:57.200 --> 11:03.680 +woken up by on the internet besides Dan of Harvard to the big house blog, is Wolfgang + +11:03.680 --> 11:09.360 +Wodach, and for some reason I never searched for this guy after I saw this German video + +11:09.360 --> 11:14.520 +that I had to get translated by a friend of mine, where he explained that it was likely + +11:14.520 --> 11:19.000 +a SARS virus or a SARS-descended virus that has been circulating viruses that have been + +11:19.000 --> 11:28.000 +circulating since the original SARS outbreak fizzled out in 2004 that we are testing for, + +11:28.000 --> 11:34.840 +and he only released that video in May or in April and it was only in German, and then + +11:34.840 --> 11:35.840 +I just never... + +11:35.840 --> 11:40.320 +I hope you see how significant it is that Wolfgang and I have now made contact in such + +11:40.320 --> 11:42.360 +a significant way. + +11:42.360 --> 11:47.880 +I hope you see what kind of forward progress is about to happen, don't be distracted by + +11:47.880 --> 11:54.920 +what's going on on Twitter and how people supposedly think that this story of the clones + +11:54.920 --> 12:00.480 +is an open and shut case now because there's effectively no swarm. + +12:00.480 --> 12:06.300 +He's been going around in circles on this idea for a very, very long time, and the reason + +12:06.300 --> 12:11.240 +why he's doing that is because all of RNA virology is dependent on it and no one can + +12:11.240 --> 12:12.440 +know that. + +12:12.440 --> 12:21.840 +If everybody understands that, that what they speak of as virology is a gross exaggeration + +12:21.840 --> 12:28.800 +of fidelity and it's a gross exaggeration of understanding, even the next strain database + +12:28.800 --> 12:34.880 +and phylogeny, even the Jed said database or whatever the hell it's called, all of these + +12:34.880 --> 12:45.360 +collections of genomes are presented to you as gold standard evidence of and proof + +12:45.360 --> 12:49.360 +of something for which they are not proof of. + +12:49.360 --> 12:53.360 +All we know for sure is that these people have managed to measure these sequences and + +12:53.360 --> 12:58.580 +a lot of these people believe these sequences are real, but we don't have any reason to + +12:58.580 --> 13:04.360 +believe that these sequences are somehow related to one another in a progression related to + +13:04.360 --> 13:07.960 +one another in an evolutionary way. + +13:07.960 --> 13:13.280 +We don't even know, no one is even talking about the possibility that these animals and + +13:13.280 --> 13:20.600 +ourselves would emit coronavirus like signals from our immune system or from the outside, + +13:20.600 --> 13:24.320 +from our lungs. + +13:24.320 --> 13:30.600 +No one's even talking about the possibility that these signals are being produced by the + +13:30.600 --> 13:41.160 +bacteria in our lungs or the bacteria in our airways, our GI tracks, wherever. + +13:41.160 --> 13:46.600 +No one's talking about the possibility that there's replication of RNA or DNA being carried + +13:46.600 --> 13:51.400 +by bacteriophages that's doing these signals, that's causing these signals, which really + +13:51.400 --> 13:58.720 +are just signals, genetic signals that are coincident with, well, genetic signals that + +13:58.720 --> 14:03.240 +are present and they're coincident with amplicons of PCR. + +14:03.240 --> 14:11.920 +It's very difficult at this size scale and at this sensitivity to definitively say that, + +14:11.920 --> 14:18.520 +well, this is definitely a something and we must always end up taking the word of somebody + +14:18.520 --> 14:20.120 +like Kevin McCurnan. + +14:20.120 --> 14:21.280 +They can't prove it to you. + +14:21.280 --> 14:24.120 +He's not going to ever teach you how this stuff works. + +14:24.120 --> 14:27.760 +He's always going to tell you that it's just too complicated for him to explain it + +14:27.760 --> 14:31.280 +to you, but I'm definitely wrong. + +14:31.280 --> 14:38.120 +When in reality, the idea that we're fighting about is really very simple and that's why + +14:38.120 --> 14:43.600 +it keeps spiraling out of control behind a block where we can't really have this discussion + +14:43.600 --> 14:49.040 +and why he keeps saying that we're not really, that he had this discussion a long time ago + +14:49.040 --> 14:53.240 +on email or he tried to do this on his sub stack before. + +14:53.240 --> 14:57.160 +I've addressed all the papers in his sub stack when they came out. + +14:57.160 --> 15:02.120 +I did a show about it several times in a row, which he completely ignored. + +15:02.120 --> 15:03.120 +And that's fine. + +15:03.120 --> 15:04.120 +He doesn't have to watch it. + +15:04.120 --> 15:06.440 +He calls my videos six hours Scooby-Doo videos. + +15:06.440 --> 15:07.440 +So that's fine. + +15:07.440 --> 15:08.440 +I get it. + +15:08.440 --> 15:12.040 +I should write a sub stack for him. + +15:12.040 --> 15:13.880 +We're going to figure this out, ladies and gentlemen. + +15:13.880 --> 15:14.880 +Don't worry. + +15:14.880 --> 15:19.600 +And when we figure it out the way that the ball will move forward, it will move in a very + +15:19.600 --> 15:23.200 +different way with a very different direction and a very different momentum. + +15:23.200 --> 15:31.000 +I assure you, I assure you, it's taken me a while to get this all straight in my head + +15:31.000 --> 15:36.560 +and make sure that we can move forward confidently. + +15:36.560 --> 15:47.520 +I've been trying very hard to remain true to my original idea, which was that this biology + +15:47.520 --> 15:50.560 +can't be impossible to learn. + +15:50.560 --> 15:58.080 +And any of the biology that underlies this phenomenon is worth learning. + +15:58.080 --> 16:02.320 +And so in the case of virology, I think all of us are just going to have to peel back + +16:02.320 --> 16:11.040 +our roll up our sleeves a little bit and learn some of this biology that they purport to + +16:11.040 --> 16:16.600 +have a monopoly on, that they purport to understand so well that you're just going to have to + +16:16.600 --> 16:23.280 +take their word for it, that they can't find any of this stuff in 2019 and before, + +16:23.280 --> 16:26.280 +but they sure can find a lot of it now. + +16:26.280 --> 16:30.840 +And that means that it's something going around and around and around and it couldn't + +16:30.840 --> 16:34.060 +be anything else. + +16:34.060 --> 16:37.440 +There are a few things in the background that we have to take and keep in mind. + +16:37.440 --> 16:40.000 +And there are a few things that we haven't addressed at all. + +16:40.000 --> 16:45.680 +And so it's just a real, it's a real mess right now. + +16:45.680 --> 16:51.200 +And so what they would like more than anything else for us to do is to rush as fast as we + +16:51.200 --> 16:56.040 +can thinking we know where we're going and thinking we know where the opening is to the + +16:56.040 --> 16:57.040 +cave. + +16:57.040 --> 17:01.320 +And we've got to keep remembering that we've got to keep our flashlights forward and we + +17:01.320 --> 17:02.880 +just got to keep working. + +17:02.880 --> 17:11.560 +It can't be distracted by the things that are going on, even if it is that you get fired + +17:11.560 --> 17:26.800 +or you get laid off or you get unexplainably your position is discontinued. + +17:26.800 --> 17:34.280 +And you are offered a non-disclosure agreement in exchange for $8,000. + +17:34.280 --> 17:42.760 +And you're left to kind of decide did I really put my neck on the line and put on + +17:42.760 --> 17:55.240 +the t-shirt and say that I was fighting for the truth and then now all of this hard work + +17:55.240 --> 18:04.480 +and sacrifice was worth a non-disclosure agreement and $8,000. + +18:04.480 --> 18:08.640 +I decided not to do that. + +18:08.640 --> 18:13.760 +And now I'm guessing I'm at the mercy of the internet for a little while. + +18:13.760 --> 18:20.760 +And we're going to try and make this work because I think actually this biology could + +18:20.760 --> 18:23.600 +save our kids. + +18:23.600 --> 18:35.280 +I actually think that if we can work through the literature and find truth in it, especially + +18:35.280 --> 18:44.800 +pre-COVID truth, and we can find biologists that we're working toward what they thought + +18:44.800 --> 18:52.600 +was the truth, I think we can find something that will be solid enough to stand on, that + +18:52.600 --> 18:58.560 +we can hand down to our children as an understanding of what these people lied about, what these + +18:58.560 --> 19:02.080 +people misled us about. + +19:02.080 --> 19:08.000 +And I think you're going to find that the illusion goes back farther than we thought. + +19:08.000 --> 19:13.240 +I think that's why so many of the interesting players in this are not like your typical + +19:13.240 --> 19:21.400 +players, like people who dropped out of grad school to start working on the Human Genome + +19:21.400 --> 19:29.200 +Project and then had like patents and companies and companies and ultra success. + +19:29.200 --> 19:37.960 +And then their boss went to the White House and was involved in the writing of $65 billion + +19:37.960 --> 19:41.000 +proposal for Warp Speed vaccines. + +19:41.000 --> 19:49.920 +And now he's been involved from the very beginning with objecting to the PCR test, but not PCR + +19:49.920 --> 19:57.720 +testing, and then all kinds of other random appearances for the RNA not being pure and + +19:57.720 --> 20:06.920 +then the RNA code on optimizing being responsible for different G quadriplexes and then came + +20:06.920 --> 20:14.280 +out later to be the double stranded DNA and the whole time this guy's been right there. + +20:14.280 --> 20:19.920 +Why has he been right there when his whole life is right now pot genetics and trying + +20:19.920 --> 20:28.520 +to, I don't know, I guess take over the commercial pot market by controlling genetics and virons + +20:28.520 --> 20:37.640 +and screening or providing testing materials for pot growers that will eventually become + +20:37.640 --> 20:43.800 +required by the government or some other scam. + +20:43.800 --> 20:48.720 +I'm sorry, but this is just this game has got to end. + +20:48.720 --> 20:57.840 +And these people, whether you like it or not, are not playing a small, tiny game. + +20:57.840 --> 21:03.680 +This is a game for all the marbles is for our grandchildren. + +21:03.680 --> 21:08.720 +That's why it seems so ridiculous. + +21:08.720 --> 21:12.360 +That's why it's being fought on Twitter. + +21:12.360 --> 21:19.200 +Do you think that Kevin McCurnan could have a real discussion about this and a group of + +21:19.200 --> 21:23.960 +people that all kind of knew about this stuff? + +21:23.960 --> 21:28.960 +Or would it would it really always have to be like him and Meryl Nast and then Andrew + +21:28.960 --> 21:36.360 +Kaufman and Christine Massey. + +21:36.360 --> 21:42.800 +The one time that we had a conversation a year ago, he couldn't really object to it. + +21:42.800 --> 21:51.360 +As you will see in tonight's recap, he just basically spit out exactly what I'm pointing + +21:51.360 --> 21:55.640 +out when everybody should be pointing out. + +21:55.640 --> 22:04.240 +That by making an infectious RNA and significant quantities, you could seed a coronavirus pandemic + +22:04.240 --> 22:09.680 +that was highly homogenous across many different places and maybe even would be highly stable + +22:09.680 --> 22:11.440 +for a little while. + +22:11.440 --> 22:15.840 +Yes, it's possible that clones transmit. + +22:15.840 --> 22:20.760 +I never said that they wouldn't. + +22:20.760 --> 22:26.920 +My main argument was that infectious clones and the whole principle of how they should + +22:26.920 --> 22:33.520 +or theoretically work is that you can create a much more homogenous viral stock that allows + +22:33.520 --> 22:35.840 +you to make a higher quantity of it. + +22:35.840 --> 22:40.680 +In fact, an infinite quantity of it is really only dependent on how to investment. + +22:40.680 --> 22:45.760 +If you wanted to do Jurassic Park, you could just do PCR construction of all the six or + +22:45.760 --> 22:53.480 +seven strands of DNA that you're going to use to ligate together and derive your RNA + +22:53.480 --> 22:54.480 +from. + +22:54.480 --> 23:05.040 +I mean, this guy's the limit if the idea is to just do it right. + +23:05.040 --> 23:12.320 +I'm just kind of, it's just kind of sad because this is where we're at, right? + +23:12.320 --> 23:18.320 +We have to protect our children from liars. + +23:18.320 --> 23:24.800 +Liars like Paul Offit, liars like Tony Fauci, liars like all of the people that work at + +23:24.800 --> 23:31.200 +the top levels of these pharmaceutical companies that know better. + +23:31.200 --> 23:35.360 +And we also have to protect our children from a bunch of people who don't know any better + +23:35.360 --> 23:41.080 +who aren't wise enough, smart enough, or I've turned the other way. + +23:41.080 --> 23:44.280 +In the military, they have caught what is called a lookaway doctrine. + +23:44.280 --> 23:48.320 +You know, if you're going to waterboard people, just let me close the door and get out of + +23:48.320 --> 23:50.840 +here before you start doing it. + +23:50.840 --> 23:57.240 +There are a lot of people involved in this little mystery that are also involved in that + +23:57.240 --> 23:58.340 +way. + +23:58.340 --> 24:00.720 +They know exactly how dangerous this was. + +24:00.720 --> 24:04.980 +They knew exactly how nasty this was going to get. + +24:04.980 --> 24:08.800 +And they knew that if they were going to get through this, they were going to break + +24:08.800 --> 24:18.480 +some eggs, but you know, make no mistake about it, ladies and gentlemen, breaking eggs + +24:18.480 --> 24:26.960 +is also going to require people on Twitter that have no business being on Twitter, talking + +24:26.960 --> 24:32.400 +about coronaviruses and fidelity of coronavirus replication and all this other stuff in their + +24:32.400 --> 24:41.160 +spare time while they're running companies on the genetics of weed. + +24:41.160 --> 24:48.520 +I mean, we are very, very, very close to exposing a group of people who some way or another + +24:48.520 --> 24:53.840 +were involved in the containing of the narrative at the same time they were involved in the + +24:53.840 --> 25:01.680 +perpetuating of the worst case scenario, making absolutely sure that the existence of the transmission + +25:01.680 --> 25:07.400 +of a novel virus was never questioned. + +25:07.400 --> 25:15.200 +And think about how strange it is that Eric Lander's former protege is the guy who was + +25:15.200 --> 25:21.040 +right there from the beginning, from the PCR objection to the RNA purity objection to the + +25:21.040 --> 25:27.920 +G quadriplex objections and the codon optimizing objections to the frame shifting objections + +25:27.920 --> 25:32.920 +all the way up to the double stranded DNA objections and what's really weird about the + +25:32.920 --> 25:40.560 +objections about the clones and about the proofreading in coronaviruses is that this + +25:40.560 --> 25:46.360 +thing that they recommended really, really early, that Cina Bavari predicted that they + +25:46.360 --> 25:51.040 +would use very, very early, that Rick Brighton knew that they were going to use very, very + +25:51.040 --> 25:59.680 +early, that Paul Cantrell knew that they were going to use very, very early, Remdesivir + +25:59.680 --> 26:05.040 +messes with the proofreading of coronavirus. + +26:05.040 --> 26:08.240 +So the proofreading of coronavirus is actually pretty significant. + +26:08.240 --> 26:18.360 +We need, we need to have high fidelity coronavirus replication that can be interfered with by + +26:18.360 --> 26:25.840 +Remdesivir and other antivirals so that the, the subtle balance between the mutagenesis + +26:25.840 --> 26:32.400 +in the quasi-species swarm and the stability of it is disrupted and you get this collapse + +26:32.400 --> 26:35.240 +of genetic stability. + +26:35.240 --> 26:36.800 +That's the story that they tell. + +26:36.800 --> 26:38.720 +That's the story that Mark Denison tells. + +26:38.720 --> 26:41.800 +That's the story that Cina Bavari told in his paper. + +26:41.800 --> 26:44.200 +That's the story that Ralph Barrick has told. + +26:44.200 --> 26:50.760 +And that's the story that is told when you argue that coronaviruses are very, very stable. + +26:50.760 --> 26:56.000 +You're arguing for Remdesivir's mechanism of action. + +26:56.000 --> 26:57.000 +Coincidence? + +26:57.000 --> 26:59.000 +Yeah, maybe. + +26:59.000 --> 27:00.000 +Believe what you want. + +27:00.000 --> 27:01.000 +What I want is high morbidity. + +27:01.000 --> 27:02.000 +I want people to complain. + +27:02.000 --> 27:03.000 +So what do I do? + +27:03.000 --> 27:04.000 +I go to Des Moines. + +27:04.000 --> 27:05.000 +Ladies and gentlemen, the people on the screen, I have nothing against Des Moines. + +27:05.000 --> 27:06.000 +I live there for four years. + +27:06.000 --> 27:07.000 +I go to Des Moines. + +27:07.000 --> 27:08.000 +I infect a couple of sentinel cases. + +27:08.000 --> 27:09.000 +I go to Seattle. + +27:09.000 --> 27:12.000 +I infect a couple of cases there. + +27:12.000 --> 27:14.000 +I go to North Carolina. + +27:14.000 --> 27:15.000 +I go to Wisconsin. + +27:15.000 --> 27:23.000 +What I'm doing is I'm using a dispersion methodology to be able to infect sentinel cases with a highly + +27:23.000 --> 27:27.760 +morbid condition. + +27:27.760 --> 27:37.760 +So I think what I want to do tonight is just quickly put up for a study hall. + +27:37.760 --> 27:51.000 +I've got this video queued up, a couple videos queued up on coronavirus replication, but + +27:51.000 --> 27:56.640 +I just want to look at... + +27:56.640 --> 28:02.040 +I just want to look at a couple things first to make sure that we still cover what we're + +28:02.040 --> 28:03.040 +really covering here. + +28:03.040 --> 28:12.080 +Let me escape out of this and start the new deck right away. + +28:12.080 --> 28:19.200 +I probably should just go really fast through it to bring everybody up to speed, but I hope + +28:19.200 --> 28:20.800 +you don't mind if I do that. + +28:20.800 --> 28:28.640 +So first of all, make sure you remember that one of the big, big, big things that is obvious + +28:28.640 --> 28:35.240 +to me as we move forward and we watch all these people scream and yell about how bad + +28:35.240 --> 28:40.680 +Jonathan Cooey is for putting people's names on there or how bad it is that Jonathan Cooey + +28:40.680 --> 28:45.400 +doesn't remember why somebody blocked him or whatever it is that they're crying about + +28:45.400 --> 28:46.400 +now. + +28:46.400 --> 28:51.040 +The one thing that you will remember and what I have been calling for more than a year now + +28:51.040 --> 28:55.800 +is that all these people will ignore this slide. + +28:55.800 --> 28:59.960 +You could be wrong about the clones, but right about this, and it wouldn't really matter + +28:59.960 --> 29:01.360 +now would it? + +29:01.360 --> 29:03.840 +And I assure you that I'm right about this. + +29:03.840 --> 29:07.880 +Intramuscular injection of any combination of substances with the intent of augmenting + +29:07.880 --> 29:13.440 +the immune system is dumb and transfection in healthy humans is criminally negligent. + +29:13.440 --> 29:18.920 +And by having me and you and all these people on Twitter that are trying to defend me, + +29:18.920 --> 29:25.120 +thank you very much, arguing about clones and whether or not the viral swarm is significantly + +29:25.120 --> 29:30.200 +diverse enough to support the idea that clones are different than the regular virus. + +29:30.200 --> 29:34.440 +This is all nonsense. + +29:34.440 --> 29:38.400 +This is all nonsense because this is true. + +29:38.400 --> 29:43.560 +This is all nonsense because this is true. + +29:43.560 --> 29:49.120 +And as long as they keep us occupied about whether or not J is right or wrong or whether + +29:49.120 --> 29:54.720 +it's okay to believe in J, then we're not going to we're not going to talk about this + +29:54.720 --> 29:56.280 +stuff. + +29:56.280 --> 29:59.400 +This is my most important message. + +29:59.400 --> 30:04.880 +This is the only message that I want to get to our children because if our children understand + +30:04.880 --> 30:11.640 +the big picture biology that underpins this statement, who cares about clones? + +30:11.640 --> 30:17.040 +Who cares how they do RNA virology and who cares if somebody with a Poch genetics company + +30:17.040 --> 30:22.200 +really does understand how they do coronavirus biology or not? + +30:22.200 --> 30:31.680 +Clearly he's being encouraged not to understand it because he is neglecting the very prominence + +30:31.680 --> 30:40.440 +of infectious clones from the early 90s on and the almost universal praise of how the + +30:40.440 --> 30:45.640 +development of infectious clones and their production has allowed the expansion of the + +30:45.640 --> 30:51.120 +understanding of how viruses work. + +30:51.120 --> 30:56.400 +We would have to be fools to believe that infectious clones weren't involved in this. + +30:56.400 --> 31:02.400 +They are the bedrock foundation methodology of all RNA virology, especially RNA virology + +31:02.400 --> 31:08.520 +around viruses that are difficult or impossible to culture for whom no infectious material + +31:08.520 --> 31:12.800 +is available. + +31:12.800 --> 31:20.000 +And so don't be fooled by somebody who can put up a few papers and then say a few sentences + +31:20.000 --> 31:23.440 +about why that paper makes them wrong. + +31:23.440 --> 31:27.600 +The time I've ever followed up on one of these papers, it doesn't really demonstrate + +31:27.600 --> 31:36.520 +what he says it demonstrates except for in a very sliver kind of way, but it's not addressing + +31:36.520 --> 31:41.520 +the very big pictures of what the natural phenomenon, what does the natural phenomenon + +31:41.520 --> 31:45.520 +look like is exactly the phenomenon that they don't want to talk about. + +31:45.520 --> 31:50.400 +They want you to believe and that's what he would like you to believe that the infectious + +31:50.400 --> 31:59.360 +clone replicates the natural phenomenon and that is a hundred percent wrong. + +31:59.360 --> 32:04.920 +And so they have fooled us into solving this Scooby-Doo and that's exactly what McCurnan + +32:04.920 --> 32:06.440 +is on right now. + +32:06.440 --> 32:11.720 +He wants you to believe that I'm supposed to have the exact explanation with all the details + +32:11.720 --> 32:16.520 +about exactly why the person came into my house, what they were doing there, what they intended + +32:16.520 --> 32:20.280 +to steal and why they were stealing it. + +32:20.280 --> 32:24.840 +And that's not the way a crime works. + +32:24.840 --> 32:32.280 +And our society, my family and yours are victims of a crime. + +32:32.280 --> 32:36.120 +We don't have any obligation as victims of a crime to know all the details and have a + +32:36.120 --> 32:39.240 +good explanation for everything. + +32:39.240 --> 32:47.960 +And we certainly aren't under any obligation to accept the explanation of the people who + +32:47.960 --> 32:52.280 +probably did it or are working with them. + +32:52.280 --> 32:56.800 +But we were fooled into believing that a worst-case scenario could have happened and we were fooled + +32:56.800 --> 33:01.440 +into believing that we could solve them, that we were watching people solve a mystery. + +33:01.440 --> 33:08.880 +That Rand Paul and Tony Fauci were arguing because they were on two sides of this mystery. + +33:08.880 --> 33:12.560 +And with this Scooby-Doo, the principle of informed consent has been ignored for the + +33:12.560 --> 33:13.800 +duration of the pandemic. + +33:13.800 --> 33:22.560 +Here we are trapped on our couch watching the whole thing unfold on TV. + +33:22.560 --> 33:28.960 +And so we've talked about how the pandemic was created from years ago up until now with + +33:28.960 --> 33:35.520 +a team of people or peoples around the world and especially in Western society that were + +33:35.600 --> 33:39.600 +there specifically to coordinate and amplify the worst-case scenario. + +33:39.600 --> 33:47.440 +The billions of people dead, the amyloid spike, the prion disease, the spike was killing cardiac + +33:47.440 --> 33:50.840 +cells, the whole nine yards. + +33:50.840 --> 34:00.400 +And the worst-case scenario was very cleverly tainted with aspects that they expected or + +34:00.400 --> 34:04.120 +feared would be a result of the transfection. + +34:04.120 --> 34:07.280 +They knew they were going to roll out the transfection so they knew that they could + +34:07.280 --> 34:12.840 +see this worst-case scenario with the worst-case scenarios of the transfection so that it would + +34:12.840 --> 34:20.880 +never really be clear to an unsuspecting and completely compliant populace that they were + +34:20.880 --> 34:25.480 +confounding the effects of the virus with the effects of the shot because you were given + +34:25.480 --> 34:30.320 +a viral protein and the viral protein turned out to be wicked. + +34:30.320 --> 34:34.640 +The people that were co-opted very early on were briefed that this was a national security + +34:34.640 --> 34:40.360 +thing and so you couldn't just talk about it. + +34:40.360 --> 34:45.000 +But if you go along with our little role here then maybe you can sell a book about Ivermectin + +34:45.000 --> 34:52.760 +or you can sell a book about hydroxychloroquine or you can sell a book about the lab leak. + +34:52.760 --> 34:57.520 +And in the end the toxicity of the virus, spike protein has been confounded with the + +34:57.560 --> 35:03.520 +toxicity of the transfection along with, of course, since we saw through this, since + +35:03.520 --> 35:09.160 +we saw through this little ruse a few years ago, a couple years ago, and we stopped believing + +35:09.160 --> 35:12.760 +this ruse. + +35:12.760 --> 35:16.040 +One of the reasons why we stopped believing this ruse was because we realized that the + +35:16.040 --> 35:21.720 +spike protein that's produced by a codon-optimized pseudo-uridine chemically altered RNA is not + +35:21.720 --> 35:29.240 +going to be anywhere structurally related in epitopes to that of one by the viral sequence. + +35:29.240 --> 35:34.520 +And we came to that conclusion after having Kevin McCurtain on our stream for two times. + +35:34.520 --> 35:38.440 +And so if the protein in three-dimensional structure is not equivalent to the protein + +35:38.440 --> 35:43.040 +that you're trying to build immunity to, chances are very good that the most damage + +35:43.040 --> 35:48.040 +associated immune epitopes there on that are also different. + +35:48.040 --> 35:56.480 +And so here we are, we know what the game was, we know how they did it. + +35:56.480 --> 36:00.360 +We know how they did it, we know they drove these mass casualty events and coordinated + +36:00.360 --> 36:04.600 +them in a way that made sure that nobody could question what actually happened. + +36:04.600 --> 36:09.200 +They co-opted a pre-selective group of narrative controllers and they probably brought more + +36:09.200 --> 36:15.320 +people on as the narrative went out of control as the compliance wasn't 100% with the uptake + +36:15.400 --> 36:21.440 +of the transfection, but a combination of background signal and nonspecific tests. + +36:21.440 --> 36:24.640 +And we don't have to figure that out for ourselves, we don't have to take everybody's + +36:24.640 --> 36:27.160 +word for it. + +36:27.160 --> 36:32.720 +And just because one person published a paper doesn't mean that that is the definitive + +36:32.720 --> 36:39.720 +Supreme Court evidence that now a scientific fact has been established, which is often + +36:39.720 --> 36:43.520 +how a lot of these rebuttal papers are presented. + +36:43.960 --> 36:48.840 +If you say somebody doesn't understand that the RNA, dependent RNA polymerase has a different + +36:48.840 --> 36:55.320 +replication capacity and then they cite a paper that doesn't immediately mean that + +36:55.320 --> 37:00.920 +that's the end of the discussion and that's really how this has gone from the very beginning. + +37:00.920 --> 37:05.400 +I think that they really thought that I was underprepared that I stumbled onto this idea + +37:05.400 --> 37:08.960 +and that's why the first three or four times that we had interaction with it, it was really + +37:08.960 --> 37:11.080 +pretty weak. + +37:11.080 --> 37:16.280 +And the one time we had an interaction live with my Kevin McCurnan and myself, I just + +37:16.280 --> 37:21.440 +kept kicking the ball back to him and at some point I just had to let him go because he + +37:21.440 --> 37:27.040 +just kept saying things that made it better. + +37:27.040 --> 37:31.680 +And so I think after that talk is when everything really peeled out of control and he decided + +37:31.680 --> 37:36.520 +that he had to make it appear as though he was slapping me down and used that stupid + +37:36.520 --> 37:42.480 +complicated strategy of his, you know, where he says, April back like six times and it + +37:42.480 --> 37:47.360 +forces everybody to Google it and so they all feel like fools and they don't want to admit + +37:47.360 --> 37:52.920 +that they don't understand what he's writing and then by not admitting that he's not teaching + +37:52.920 --> 37:59.920 +them anything, they let him get away with it, make it look like it's a consistent and consensus + +37:59.920 --> 38:02.400 +win on his part. + +38:02.400 --> 38:08.880 +And he refuses to acknowledge the fact that all of this stuff happened too. + +38:08.880 --> 38:12.840 +So there's actually really good reason to believe that there might not have been a real + +38:12.840 --> 38:14.000 +active spread. + +38:14.000 --> 38:19.860 +There's really good reason to be skeptical and that's part of what I find very funny + +38:19.860 --> 38:24.720 +about the one sub stack that actually dresses JJ's hypothesis in that sub stack. + +38:24.720 --> 38:31.280 +I think three times Kevin says maybe only twice that again, I'm not trying to decide + +38:31.280 --> 38:36.040 +here how much of the all-cause mortality should be attributed to COVID and how much + +38:36.040 --> 38:42.120 +of it should be attributed to bad ideas and man-demic. + +38:42.120 --> 38:48.160 +He makes the joke man-demic in his sub stack addressed to me from earlier this year, or + +38:48.160 --> 38:55.720 +maybe it's late last year, sorry, yes, it could be late 22 or early 23. + +38:55.720 --> 39:02.800 +And so I don't like to be accusatory, but in my perspective, we're dealing with someone + +39:02.800 --> 39:05.080 +who's behaving dishonestly. + +39:05.080 --> 39:11.400 +And from the very beginning, sort of a limited hangout kind of thing, giving as much, only + +39:11.400 --> 39:16.560 +as much information as to feel like he's giving a little bit, but never really bringing us + +39:16.560 --> 39:17.840 +all the way to the finish line. + +39:17.840 --> 39:22.480 +Are you telling me that Kevin McCurnan couldn't have imagined that there would be double-stranded + +39:22.480 --> 39:26.800 +contamination from the process two that he didn't know that they were going to use + +39:26.800 --> 39:33.000 +process to, that it was an option given the fact that Enovio was on BBC News with process + +39:33.000 --> 39:36.600 +two right behind them? + +39:36.600 --> 39:38.480 +I mean, how stupid do they think we are? + +39:38.480 --> 39:42.160 +How stupid does Robert Malone think we are that he doesn't know that process one and + +39:42.160 --> 39:49.160 +process two are very common differences that we knew that they made the joke on Twiv? + +39:49.160 --> 39:55.240 +Vincent Rancin-Yello talked about the amazing upgrade from nanograms to kilograms. + +39:55.240 --> 39:59.880 +I mean, come on, guys. + +39:59.880 --> 40:05.840 +And so these things all happened and they all want you to ignore the fact that they happened + +40:05.840 --> 40:10.720 +and they want you to continue to focus on a novel virus that's highly, high fidelity + +40:10.720 --> 40:15.960 +and that it can go around the world and change flavors repeatedly and with patterns. + +40:15.960 --> 40:20.560 +They want you to believe that passage of viruses gets you places. + +40:20.560 --> 40:25.120 +They want you to believe that when you stiff stuff together it gets you places. + +40:25.120 --> 40:29.800 +The worst-case scenario is that they made a lot of something and then they spread it + +40:29.800 --> 40:30.800 +around. + +40:30.800 --> 40:33.880 +That's the worst-case scenario. + +40:33.880 --> 40:38.800 +The worst-case scenario is that they made a lot of something that was pure and also toxic + +40:38.800 --> 40:40.800 +and fairly good at replicating. + +40:40.800 --> 40:43.560 +That would be awful. + +40:43.560 --> 40:51.240 +But it wouldn't be natural and none of the attributes of its spread would be natural + +40:51.240 --> 40:55.000 +because it would have started from a state that wasn't natural, a purity that wasn't + +40:55.000 --> 41:01.440 +natural and I can't understand why they insist on confounding this, ignoring this really + +41:01.440 --> 41:03.640 +easy thing. + +41:03.640 --> 41:05.560 +People asking me to write papers and stuff. + +41:05.560 --> 41:10.160 +It's like trying to write a paper about why cars use wheels. + +41:10.160 --> 41:12.840 +What does that mean? + +41:12.840 --> 41:18.920 +What does that mean when Alexandros Maranos and Kevin McCurnan say write up a paper? + +41:18.920 --> 41:21.080 +What does that mean? + +41:21.080 --> 41:26.480 +I'm telling you and it's a biological fact that the DNA can be copied with much higher + +41:26.480 --> 41:33.280 +fidelity than RNA and Kevin McCurnan even admitted it that you can make a lot of DNA + +41:33.280 --> 41:36.720 +and then you can make a lot of RNA from it and if you did that you would have a lot of + +41:36.720 --> 41:37.720 +genomic RNA. + +41:37.720 --> 41:42.360 +It'd be a little variable but it'd be a lot higher purity than anything you could ever + +41:42.360 --> 41:49.400 +achieve with any other method that we know and if you invested sufficient into the fidelity + +41:49.400 --> 41:55.240 +of it, use PCR methodologies, the state of the art technology, you could get purity levels + +41:55.240 --> 41:58.240 +heretofore on seed on earth. + +41:58.240 --> 42:03.120 +Distribute those everywhere and the signal would be brightest day. + +42:03.120 --> 42:07.160 +Not to mention the fact that you would have this all this leftover DNA that would also + +42:07.160 --> 42:14.200 +provide PCR signals because PCR is only looking for a very tiny amplicon so you'd + +42:14.200 --> 42:20.920 +have made tons of that amplicons too that you could distribute in sewers and in water + +42:20.920 --> 42:25.280 +and DNA is much more stable. + +42:25.280 --> 42:30.840 +That signal could potentially last for months and months depending on where you put it. + +42:30.840 --> 42:35.640 +Cruise ships could be positive for months if you had DNA that you distributed around. + +42:35.640 --> 42:41.000 +I mean come on ladies and gentlemen this is this is all obviously a joke thanks to + +42:41.000 --> 42:44.120 +James Giordano. + +42:44.120 --> 42:49.080 +Thanks to Kevin McCurnan, thanks to Kevin McCairn, thanks to Paul Catrell, thanks to + +42:49.080 --> 42:56.920 +Rick Bright, thanks to Tony Fauci, thanks to Ralph Barrick. + +42:56.920 --> 43:01.060 +You know one of the things that I think is really funny about Ralph Barrick is that actually + +43:01.060 --> 43:07.700 +I think he was a good guy and I think he's being co-opted. + +43:07.700 --> 43:16.300 +I want you to listen to this presentation that I think we are being set up to watch. + +43:16.300 --> 43:18.460 +That's all I'm going to say. + +43:18.460 --> 43:24.300 +I'm not sure if it's an authentic presentation, there are a couple times where it goes silent + +43:24.300 --> 43:30.740 +for like five or six seconds and I'm not sure it's an audio glitch, it could be an erasure + +43:30.740 --> 43:35.020 +and a couple times when it goes quiet they are talking about very key aspects of the + +43:35.020 --> 43:37.660 +infectious cycle. + +43:37.660 --> 43:44.860 +So this YouTube video was actually posted in a sub stack of Peter McCullough and this + +43:44.860 --> 43:50.020 +John O'leke or something like that and so that's how I found it and so I'm watching + +43:50.020 --> 43:54.740 +it for that reason but what I want you to remember is that this is in between SARS-1 + +43:55.740 --> 44:02.780 +and Ralph Barrick may in theory, I want you to entertain this possibility, Ralph Barrick + +44:02.780 --> 44:13.220 +may still be an innocent bystander, a guy who's just part of the of coronavirus biology + +44:13.220 --> 44:21.900 +and he could still be in earnest thinking that coronaviruses could be one, a biotechnology + +44:21.900 --> 44:32.780 +to a pan vaccine technology and three, some kind of, I already said that, but some kind + +44:32.780 --> 44:44.900 +of future genetic modification technology so as they stand, some useful, then also modified + +44:44.900 --> 44:50.980 +and then also modified again I mean they were a huge potential in his mind and so I really + +44:50.980 --> 44:56.380 +think it's cool to listen to a video like this, even if it's altered, even if we're + +44:56.380 --> 45:04.620 +being tricked, I'm willing to bet that you're gonna hear enough of a guy who is fascinated + +45:04.620 --> 45:12.500 +by what he believes he is doing and I think he is doing it and that is studying synthetic + +45:12.500 --> 45:14.180 +viruses. + +45:14.180 --> 45:19.020 +So viruses that they can't culture, that they couldn't really get to grow in a lab and + +45:19.020 --> 45:24.580 +sustain themselves but has found another way to do it when we have these sequences + +45:24.580 --> 45:29.780 +and we decide on a consensus how can we do it and to really hear somebody explaining + +45:29.780 --> 45:36.140 +how they are developing this technology to assemble full coronavirus genomes, I'm confident + +45:36.140 --> 45:43.260 +it's gonna help us in terms of moving forward and really breaking the veil of this whole + +45:43.260 --> 45:44.260 +thing. + +45:44.260 --> 45:53.380 +Well, Carolina, you're gonna tell us about the synthetic genomics of SARS. + +45:53.380 --> 45:59.820 +So I also would like to thank the organizers for inviting me to talk, it's been wonderful. + +45:59.820 --> 46:02.180 +Now you are gonna be disappointed with the video here. + +46:02.180 --> 46:05.380 +Capture some new ideas that can be tried out on viruses. + +46:05.380 --> 46:06.620 +Well, this is not very loud. + +46:07.620 --> 46:13.420 +I'm gonna talk about today our basic short introduction into SARS biology. + +46:13.420 --> 46:17.140 +Talk about the synthetic resurrection and reconstruction of a variety of zoonotic SARS + +46:17.140 --> 46:18.780 +viruses and their applications. + +46:18.780 --> 46:27.140 +Okay, so already we're talking about synthetic reconstruction and he used the word resurrection. + +46:27.140 --> 46:35.220 +So resurrection would be from a sequence, from a partial sequence and it's very important + +46:35.220 --> 46:40.740 +to hear that because this is part of the reason why, again, clones are not just nothing. + +46:40.740 --> 46:46.820 +They're very special because the vast majority of coronaviruses cannot be easily cultured + +46:46.820 --> 46:53.900 +and when they are cultured, they only really barely culture it, they call it extremely + +46:53.900 --> 46:59.660 +low tighter, but it's not really culturing that you can't make enough to share and it's + +46:59.660 --> 47:00.660 +not culturing. + +47:00.660 --> 47:01.780 +So they have a big problem. + +47:01.780 --> 47:08.340 +It's not just that they don't have, they don't have them in the right cell culture + +47:08.340 --> 47:12.980 +or it's not the right receptor, it's more complicated than that. + +47:12.980 --> 47:19.580 +And I think it comes down to the fact that infectious particles are oftentimes replication + +47:19.580 --> 47:25.820 +and competent and if you get at the heart of this, you're gonna find that that's really + +47:25.820 --> 47:33.300 +where this all peters out, where the rubber meets the road is right there and that's + +47:33.300 --> 47:35.620 +where they just do the hand wavy. + +47:35.620 --> 47:38.620 +And that's why the no virus people had so much to stand on. + +47:38.620 --> 47:46.460 +That's why I think they were so dangerous and I think that's why they were so confusing. + +47:46.460 --> 47:52.020 +But are we, do you feel the pendulum swinging back now, do you feel it? + +47:52.020 --> 47:56.740 +Where we were almost all the way to no virus and really exploring the possibility that + +47:56.740 --> 48:00.820 +wow, did they really only put clones in like four people? + +48:00.820 --> 48:05.300 +Like Sohomish County man and a couple other people and sequence those and then the rest + +48:05.300 --> 48:09.380 +is all nonsense, it's possible. + +48:09.380 --> 48:16.420 +But there's a whole possibility space that expands from that very tiny number of people + +48:16.420 --> 48:23.540 +that were infected with clones that never went anywhere to another medium possibility, + +48:23.540 --> 48:29.140 +which is that they actually did put a significant a number of and concentration of clones in + +48:29.140 --> 48:34.340 +several places so that several people or many hundreds of people would be infected with + +48:34.340 --> 48:37.940 +a very pure infectious RNA. + +48:37.940 --> 48:42.660 +And I think over the next few days, as we explore these papers together, you're going + +48:42.660 --> 48:49.940 +to find a preponderance of evidence as I have, which indicate that these RNAs all by themselves + +48:49.940 --> 48:53.220 +do some pretty cool stuff. + +48:53.220 --> 49:05.460 +And as far as most virology papers are concerned, these are better than or more reliable than viruses. + +49:05.460 --> 49:09.860 +And what they do and how they do it is more reliable and you're going to figure out that + +49:09.860 --> 49:18.500 +that's because of the purity of the RNA, the purity of genomic RNA that gets into each cell + +49:18.500 --> 49:27.540 +is several orders of magnitude higher than the amount of genomic DNA that gets into a cell + +49:28.180 --> 49:30.740 +during passage. + +49:30.740 --> 49:35.780 +And that's what's really extraordinary here. That's really what's extraordinary here. + +49:36.420 --> 49:40.420 +And therapeutic and vaccine design. + +49:40.420 --> 49:45.220 +I'll also touch on codons, the optimization as a way to attenuate SARS pathogenesis, + +49:45.220 --> 49:49.940 +but I certainly haven't gone to the depth of studies that Eckerd's group has done. + +49:49.940 --> 49:55.620 +And then I'll talk about rewiring SARS-Coronavirus transcription circuits as a way universal strategy + +49:55.620 --> 49:59.380 +to attenuate viral pathogenesis. + +49:59.380 --> 50:03.060 +So this is a schematic diagram of the SARS-Coronavirus particle. + +50:04.020 --> 50:06.420 +It's about 100 nanometers from diameter. + +50:06.420 --> 50:09.940 +It contains a helical nucleic acid inside. + +50:09.940 --> 50:12.820 +It contains a single-stranded plus polarity RNA genome. + +50:14.020 --> 50:17.140 +This nucleic acid structure is surrounded by a lipid bilayer. + +50:17.780 --> 50:20.500 +It contains several viral glycoprotein spikes. + +50:20.500 --> 50:25.060 +The important ones for today's talk include the M glycoprotein and the E protein, + +50:25.060 --> 50:26.260 +which are shown right here. + +50:26.820 --> 50:30.900 +These proteins are absolutely essential for maturation and release + +50:30.900 --> 50:32.580 +and the production of virus particles. + +50:33.220 --> 50:34.260 +So keep that in mind. + +50:35.220 --> 50:39.540 +The second viral protein of interest for today's talk is the escolycoprotein gene + +50:39.540 --> 50:43.460 +that's shown right here, which gives the virus its unique occurrence in the electron microscope. + +50:44.740 --> 50:48.820 +It's the viral passion protein that binds to the receptor to mediate, + +50:48.820 --> 50:50.180 +docking, and entry into the cell. + +50:51.140 --> 50:55.460 +It regulates tissue tropism, species specificity. + +50:55.460 --> 50:58.340 +It contains a large number of important neutralizing epitopes, + +50:58.340 --> 51:00.900 +and it's the principal component of protective immunity. + +51:01.860 --> 51:08.340 +Now, if you tear this virus particle apart and look at the viral genomic positive-stranded RNA, + +51:08.340 --> 51:11.060 +it's about 30,000 base pairs in length. + +51:11.060 --> 51:14.180 +It's the largest plus polarity RNA genomes in nature. + +51:14.180 --> 51:17.940 +The first 20,000 base pairs are shown to encode the replicase proteins. + +51:17.940 --> 51:22.340 +So the job it is to replicate the genome, replicate the genome, + +51:22.340 --> 51:26.740 +and express sub-genomic messenger RNA that encode these downstream open reading frames. + +51:31.540 --> 51:33.540 +Here's the first blank space. + +51:33.540 --> 51:37.460 +Now, these downstream morphs encode the structural genes like the SEM and + +51:37.460 --> 51:40.980 +nucleocapsid protein that I just mentioned that were present in the virion + +51:40.980 --> 51:43.220 +in a variety of accessory morphs. + +51:43.220 --> 51:48.020 +To get these expressed in cells, you find a nested set of sub-genomic messenger RNA. + +51:48.580 --> 51:52.580 +They're ranged from the three prime end of the genome so that all the sequences in the smallest + +51:52.580 --> 51:56.260 +message are in the next largest message and so on and so forth. + +51:56.260 --> 52:01.620 +This organization allows different open reading frames to be placed at the five prime ends of + +52:01.620 --> 52:06.100 +different messenger RNAs so they can be efficiently translated and expressed in cells. + +52:06.820 --> 52:07.700 +Now, the trans... + +52:09.460 --> 52:11.140 +Here, again, is another dropout. + +52:13.540 --> 52:13.940 +I don't know. + +52:13.940 --> 52:16.740 +How 70 nucleotides shown here are these little blue boxes. + +52:18.260 --> 52:21.460 +That is derived from the five prime end of the genome. + +52:21.460 --> 52:25.620 +So these are discontinuous stretches of RNA that are joined going transcription. + +52:25.700 --> 52:29.940 +And these little red box elements right here are absolutely essential + +52:29.940 --> 52:32.420 +for mediating the joining of these two sequences. + +52:33.380 --> 52:36.020 +This will become very important later on in the talk. + +52:36.020 --> 52:36.980 +So keep the... + +52:36.980 --> 52:41.940 +Okay, so what he's explaining here just to kind of to bring you up to speak. + +52:41.940 --> 52:44.020 +You can't really see it here and I apologize. + +52:44.020 --> 52:46.740 +I told you it was going to be a bad... the graphics are bad. + +52:48.660 --> 52:51.060 +It's weird. This was uploaded last year. + +52:51.060 --> 52:52.740 +I can't find another copy of it. + +52:53.620 --> 52:58.820 +There's those two things that were edited out there or blanked out in the beginning there. + +52:58.820 --> 53:02.100 +I can't tell but it sure feels like there was an erasure there. + +53:02.660 --> 53:07.700 +And he's talking about these TRSs which are translation regulatory sequences. + +53:08.660 --> 53:12.660 +They are small sequences that are repeated throughout the genome. + +53:13.380 --> 53:17.140 +And it's not very clear to me upon reading the genome... + +53:17.780 --> 53:24.660 +or sorry, the literature exactly how these transcriptional regulatory elements + +53:25.380 --> 53:26.660 +interact with one another. + +53:26.660 --> 53:36.900 +But it feels like, if I can give you my best impression, it feels like that these TRS segments + +53:37.620 --> 53:44.740 +are repeated because the RNA molecule has a three-dimensional interaction with itself + +53:45.300 --> 53:50.260 +and makes it not so that this part gets looped over to this part. + +53:50.820 --> 53:56.580 +And so then the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase can make a very short RNA that goes bloke + +53:56.580 --> 53:57.860 +and then it goes right to here. + +53:58.740 --> 54:01.540 +And it goes bloke and then it goes right to here. + +54:01.540 --> 54:06.020 +And so every time it gets to a translational regulatory element, + +54:06.660 --> 54:12.420 +there's the potential for this part of the five prime end to be looped in over here. + +54:12.420 --> 54:16.020 +And so then the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that's translating it can + +54:16.980 --> 54:19.300 +to make this sub-genomic RNA. + +54:19.300 --> 54:21.620 +And that's probably completely wrong. + +54:21.620 --> 54:26.180 +But I do know that the translation regulatory elements are all the same. + +54:27.140 --> 54:33.940 +And it is from these spots in the genome that the recombination is most likely to occur. + +54:35.780 --> 54:40.020 +And one of the ways, and Ralph Berwick will explain it in this talk later, + +54:40.100 --> 54:44.420 +that they thought to make an attenuated virus that could not + +54:45.220 --> 54:49.860 +de-attenuate by recombining with other viruses in the wild + +54:50.660 --> 54:56.980 +was to artificially change the translation regulatory segments of the artificial genome + +54:57.940 --> 55:04.980 +so that this virus, when co-infecting a cell, would have translation regulatory elements that + +55:04.980 --> 55:09.700 +were incompatible with the genomes that would be present in the wild. + +55:09.700 --> 55:17.620 +And therefore they could not rearrange their genome to acquire genes from wild coronaviruses. + +55:17.620 --> 55:23.460 +So what he's explaining here is an aspect of the coronavirus genome that if you take their + +55:23.460 --> 55:29.700 +word for it, as I'm doing right now, is part of the regulatory mechanism by which the + +55:30.660 --> 55:36.500 +entire signal genome actually gets translated into these sub-genomic RNAs that we've been talking + +55:36.500 --> 55:41.540 +a lot about and that we understand are in abundance of several orders of magnitude more + +55:41.540 --> 55:47.300 +abundance than the full genome, whenever they try to find the total RNA in any of these preparations. + +55:47.300 --> 55:53.940 +I hope that helped a little bit, especially because you can't see Jack in this sort of blurry thing. + +55:53.940 --> 55:58.180 +But we are listening to the great RB, so it's pretty fun. + +55:58.740 --> 56:04.020 +The concept of TRS elements, a little red box element, is being essential for regulation of + +56:04.020 --> 56:12.420 +messenger RNA synthesis. Now, let's talk about synthetic genomics in the context of a platform + +56:12.420 --> 56:17.780 +to control emerging infectious diseases. If you think about emerging viruses, they have tremendous + +56:17.780 --> 56:23.940 +potential to cause high morbidity and mortality. They have tremendous potential to cause high + +56:24.020 --> 56:31.220 +morbidity and high mortality, meaning that there are small examples of this happening. But again, + +56:31.220 --> 56:38.100 +it's the pandemic potential is different. I'm sure that if you had enough clone of a clone + +56:38.100 --> 56:42.660 +of an RNA like this and you put it in somebody's lungs, yeah, or squirted it in some, + +56:42.660 --> 56:49.940 +an animal's nasal passages, you'd have some problems. If you put that RNA in a cell culture and then + +56:49.940 --> 56:54.580 +passage it a few times, you're going to have a lot of RNA in every cell. It's all going to be + +56:54.580 --> 56:58.820 +the same. It's all going to do its viral thing. It's all going to package a bunch of stuff up. + +56:58.820 --> 57:05.780 +You're going to have a huge concentration of highly homogenous RNA particles, as far as we can tell, + +57:05.780 --> 57:12.500 +viral particles, exosomes, whatever, that you would not have if you just started with a sample from + +57:12.500 --> 57:17.300 +the bat and then started passageing it and tried to make a lot. And that's the point. + +57:21.220 --> 57:26.900 +Let's let it keep playing here. Maybe I should just quick, just let me give you this one thing here. + +57:26.900 --> 57:31.220 +I had this queued up and then I just, I just realized we were going way, I was going way off + +57:31.220 --> 57:43.060 +balance here. But here's a mini review from a virology in 1994, infectious transcripts, + +57:43.060 --> 57:50.020 +CDNA clones of RNA viruses. Recombinant DNA technology makes it possible to analyze and modify + +57:50.020 --> 57:55.540 +genomes at the molecular level and thus gain deeper insight into their organization and expression. + +57:55.700 --> 58:01.140 +Oops, sorry. In this, in this respect, viruses because of the small size of their genome are + +58:01.140 --> 58:06.820 +particularly amenable to such investigations. In spite of this, the study of molecular biology of + +58:06.820 --> 58:13.860 +non-retroviral RNA viruses has long been hampered by the fact that these viruses do not encompass a + +58:13.860 --> 58:20.740 +DNA intermediate step in their replication cycle. Therefore, since to date, the extremely varied + +58:20.740 --> 58:26.020 +and powerful molecular biology techniques aimed at modifying nucleic acids have been directed + +58:26.020 --> 58:31.780 +essentially at DNA substrate, new molecular tools had to be developed. The possibility of + +58:31.780 --> 58:42.260 +obtaining infectious clones as CDNAs or as in vitro transcribed RNA copies, which is what an RNA + +58:42.260 --> 58:50.900 +infectious clone is. Corresponding to the genomes of RNA viruses has greatly enhanced the + +58:50.900 --> 58:56.100 +potential of investigations. Indeed, they can facilitate studies of viruses that are present + +58:56.100 --> 59:07.940 +only in low titers in infected cells or whose isolation is problematic. Interesting. That's from + +59:08.340 --> 59:20.820 +1994. Let's go to 2019 from Cina Bavari and Alison Totura, a former postdoc of Ralph Barrick. + +59:22.340 --> 59:30.100 +Section 2, 2.1, reverse genetic systems. Advances in the study of highly pathogenic coronaviruses and + +59:30.100 --> 59:35.460 +potential pan-coronavirus drug tech candidates partially depends on the technology to genetically + +59:35.460 --> 59:40.180 +manipulate coronaviruses to probe mechanisms of viral pathogenesis and antiviral drug activity. + +59:40.820 --> 59:46.740 +Reverse genetic systems synthetically generate viruses from known viral sequences. In situations + +59:46.740 --> 59:52.500 +who wear clinical isolates of infectious material unavailable and due to restrictions for collecting + +59:52.500 --> 59:57.140 +patient samples, shipping infectious materials, availability of containment laboratories, + +59:57.140 --> 01:00:03.220 +reverse genetic systems, provide the essential research materials for studies on viral pathogenesis + +01:00:03.300 --> 01:00:09.860 +in model development. Prior to the SARS pandemic, robust reverse genetic systems to manipulate the + +01:00:09.860 --> 01:00:17.140 +genomes of Scarsco V2s, sorry, of coronaviruses had already been developed by systematic assembly + +01:00:17.140 --> 01:00:23.060 +of cDNA consents to full-length infectious clones, allowing precise and genetic targeted + +01:00:23.060 --> 01:00:29.220 +manipulation of viral genes. More importantly, to me, infectious clones allow the creation of + +01:00:29.220 --> 01:00:36.900 +near homogenous viral stocks where the traditional viral stocks are prepared by + +01:00:36.900 --> 01:00:44.660 +amplification of infectious material in cell culture. Infectious materials, that's the stuff + +01:00:44.660 --> 01:00:51.460 +they take from bats, that's the stuff they take from sick people. Over many passages, strategies + +01:00:51.460 --> 01:00:56.580 +to build reverse genetic systems were rapidly applied to both SARS and MERS within the first + +01:00:56.580 --> 01:01:03.700 +year of identifying these viruses. In addition to reconstructing epidemic, + +01:01:03.700 --> 01:01:09.780 +epidemic strains of SARS-CoV-2 with reverse genetic systems allow targeting of mutations + +01:01:09.780 --> 01:01:15.860 +to specific viral genes and assembly of these virus when infectious material is not available. + +01:01:15.860 --> 01:01:28.260 +So they've seen pretty significant for RNA virology in general, but for some reason or another, a guy who + +01:01:30.980 --> 01:01:35.220 +was at the White House when he was what, 25 or something like that? I don't know, + +01:01:35.220 --> 01:01:40.420 +how old was he when he was at the White House for the first time and probably because of his dad, + +01:01:40.500 --> 01:01:49.300 +maybe, I don't know, but and then his, he drops out of grad school, goes to work for Eric Lander, + +01:01:50.260 --> 01:02:01.300 +Eric Lander's in the Biden White House, running stuff for the mRNA, and this guy's involved from + +01:02:01.300 --> 01:02:06.660 +the very beginning from the PCR shot all the way through all the objections that were ever made + +01:02:06.660 --> 01:02:17.220 +about the transfection and titrating them one by one and we're supposed to believe that + +01:02:17.220 --> 01:02:21.860 +clones are just like everything else. It's no big deal. Clones don't do anything. Clones are + +01:02:21.860 --> 01:02:31.780 +chemtrails stupid. It's pretty phenomenal, really, if you think about it. And severe economic + +01:02:31.780 --> 01:02:37.780 +hardship, good examples are HIV, the 1918 flu, far as coronavirus, H5N1, + +01:02:37.780 --> 01:02:43.220 +chicken and guinea virus, probably most recently. Now it's clear that zoonotic introductions are + +01:02:43.220 --> 01:02:50.260 +increasing and a large number of these viruses have large reservoir pools of animal strains + +01:02:50.260 --> 01:02:56.420 +like SARS and H5 that are maintained as sort of heterogeneous swarms of pools of viruses + +01:02:56.420 --> 01:03:01.220 +of which someone may actually emerge in the future to cause epidemic disease in humans. + +01:03:01.860 --> 01:03:07.140 +This raises a conundrum in terms of how do you protect the public health against the future + +01:03:07.140 --> 01:03:14.340 +occurrence that is hard to predict. I wonder how we would differentiate between a pathogen in bats + +01:03:14.340 --> 01:03:21.460 +that doesn't make bats sick. How would we differentiate that from a immune signal? + +01:03:22.900 --> 01:03:31.380 +Like let's say that the bats physiology is to emit coronaviruses. Let's say that a lot of + +01:03:31.860 --> 01:03:44.180 +mammals emit self replicating RNA packaged in a lipoprotein coat. Just just imagine that for a + +01:03:44.180 --> 01:03:51.300 +second. Is that crazy? Is that a crazy idea? Are we crazy? Are we a little crazy to assume + +01:03:52.100 --> 01:03:57.780 +that these RNA molecules coated in a lipid dental, a lipid protein, a lipoprotein coat, + +01:03:58.020 --> 01:04:03.060 +aren't we a little? Isn't it a little weird to assume that these guys are just all independent + +01:04:03.060 --> 01:04:12.740 +actors that are out of the control of the bats, out of the influence of the bats, + +01:04:12.740 --> 01:04:20.660 +out of the hands of the, despite the bats best effort, these coronaviruses are thriving inside + +01:04:20.660 --> 01:04:23.620 +of the bat population. Why does it have to be like that? + +01:04:28.260 --> 01:04:31.300 +Is it, is it really like that? Are we sure it's like that? + +01:04:34.340 --> 01:04:41.460 +Are we sure that Simeon virus 40 was really a virus that the monkeys body really wanted to get + +01:04:41.460 --> 01:04:47.300 +rid of but couldn't get rid of? Are we assuming that the pangolans have coronaviruses that they + +01:04:47.300 --> 01:04:54.020 +don't want that they're not supposed to have but they're just there because despite their best + +01:04:54.020 --> 01:05:05.060 +efforts, that's a huge assumption, isn't it? As opposed to it being like a signal or an offgassing + +01:05:05.060 --> 01:05:10.660 +or a noise, I like a signal. I like the idea of it being a signal. + +01:05:11.460 --> 01:05:15.940 +I don't like the idea so much of it being a pathogen anymore. + +01:05:17.940 --> 01:05:22.900 +But I definitely like the idea that Ralph Barrick thinks it's a signal and thinks that what he's + +01:05:22.900 --> 01:05:27.620 +working on is important and what he's working on is something that's worth understanding and that + +01:05:27.620 --> 01:05:33.540 +he's made a major breakthrough by figuring out how to make these full genomes and start there. + +01:05:34.340 --> 01:05:40.820 +I think it's possible. I think your your sliver of understanding, your sliver of specialty could + +01:05:40.820 --> 01:05:47.060 +be so great that you could get so fired up about making machine guns that you just don't realize + +01:05:47.060 --> 01:05:55.460 +that, wow, I made really, I mean this machine gun is pretty amazing and I'm proud of all the the + +01:05:56.340 --> 01:06:02.100 +the ingenious ideas I put into it but I'm a little disappointed with what it did to them all. + +01:06:03.060 --> 01:06:05.700 +That's possible. It's totally possible. + +01:06:08.420 --> 01:06:13.220 +You know, I was a clock maker but then I got into guns and I just figured out this thing and it + +01:06:13.220 --> 01:06:21.460 +was super cool and and then somebody took it to a high school but you could still have your you + +01:06:21.460 --> 01:06:27.060 +know if you were really hyper focused on something if you really were interested in making something + +01:06:27.060 --> 01:06:31.140 +cool out of coronavirus is because somebody said that something cool could be made out of + +01:06:31.140 --> 01:06:35.940 +coronaviruses and you're a clever guy maybe that's who Robert over there that's who Ralph + +01:06:35.940 --> 01:06:44.660 +Berwick is. That's why he's trying to attenuate them. That's why he's trying to find combinations + +01:06:44.660 --> 01:06:49.220 +of monoclonal antibodies that will neutralize all of them. + +01:06:52.580 --> 01:06:57.780 +That's why he's trying to change their translation regulatory sequences so that they can't recombine + +01:06:58.660 --> 01:07:07.060 +with with natural viruses and that they can be permanently attenuated. These are all laudable + +01:07:07.060 --> 01:07:14.180 +pursuits if viruses are real and and if they are potentially a biotechnology that could be harnessed + +01:07:14.180 --> 01:07:22.420 +for good. A endogenous signal that could be that could be used and harnessed as a as a tool. + +01:07:22.420 --> 01:07:31.380 +Why not? Sounds great. I think Ralph Berwick might be innocent. I think we might be led to believe + +01:07:31.380 --> 01:07:35.940 +that in this little Scooby-Doo this is the guy we're supposed to unmask. This is the bad guy right + +01:07:35.940 --> 01:07:42.900 +here. Look at him. I don't think so. How do you develop drugs and therapeutic against an unknown + +01:07:42.900 --> 01:07:47.940 +from this heterogeneous swarm of variant strain that will actually work against the unknown that + +01:07:48.020 --> 01:07:53.700 +will emerge in the future? How do you target your scarce resources? We think platform technologies + +01:07:53.700 --> 01:07:58.420 +like synthetic biology, phylogenomics, structure modeling, high-throughput sequencing really will + +01:07:58.420 --> 01:08:04.420 +provide a platform and our goal is to use SARS coronavirus and its large pool of zoonotic viruses + +01:08:04.420 --> 01:08:09.940 +as a model to develop rapid response platforms to protect against this broader heterogeneous + +01:08:09.940 --> 01:08:16.020 +pool of variants. We also would like to develop strategies that would attenuate all family members + +01:08:16.020 --> 01:08:20.580 +so that you could rapidly develop vaccines for the public overall public health. + +01:08:20.580 --> 01:08:25.300 +And so that's funny because he's talking about rapidly developing vaccines. I wonder + +01:08:25.300 --> 01:08:31.700 +anywhere in this talk he's going to project a time frame. Is he going to say five years? + +01:08:33.060 --> 01:08:37.140 +Because if he says two years that would be very interesting, wouldn't it? If he says + +01:08:37.860 --> 01:08:42.900 +five years or he says one year anything that he says about development time will be interesting + +01:08:42.980 --> 01:08:49.460 +in 2007. This is going to be cool. Keep your ears open. Now a lot of beautiful work in Malek's + +01:08:49.460 --> 01:08:55.940 +lab as well as other labs here in China worked out the basic molecular epidemiology of the SARS + +01:08:55.940 --> 01:09:01.060 +coronavirus. The virus originated most likely in bat. It probably jumped into civets or humans + +01:09:01.700 --> 01:09:07.780 +and in that context set up a transmission cycle between civets and ratoon dogs and marketplaces + +01:09:07.780 --> 01:09:13.140 +and humans who frequented those marketplaces. Over time it's selected for strains that were + +01:09:13.140 --> 01:09:17.540 +more efficient at infecting human cells and recognizing the human ACE2 receptor for doctor + +01:09:17.540 --> 01:09:24.420 +human entry leading to the 2002-2003 epidemic which caused about 8,000 cases and 800 deaths. + +01:09:26.500 --> 01:09:30.980 +Now I want you to keep 8,000 cases and 800 deaths in mind as the + +01:09:31.060 --> 01:09:44.740 +as a certain quantity of clone. Let's call that one clone unit and so if you release one clone + +01:09:44.740 --> 01:09:56.820 +unit in a place in China and it can cover 8,000 trackable or suspected cases and 800 deaths + +01:09:57.460 --> 01:10:08.260 +with a few sequences. So let's just call that a single clone unit as 8,000 cases and 800 people + +01:10:08.260 --> 01:10:16.820 +dead so that we can think about what we would do if we had two or three clone units, if we had + +01:10:16.820 --> 01:10:25.700 +10 clone units released in four places. How many cases would that be? How far would it go? + +01:10:26.900 --> 01:10:33.540 +How much molecular change would occur per unit time in that scenario? I want you to start + +01:10:33.540 --> 01:10:40.020 +thinking about the possibility that that's what actually was done. The first time single clone + +01:10:40.020 --> 01:10:48.340 +unit this time maybe five clone units and the difference is that these five clone units were + +01:10:48.340 --> 01:10:55.460 +all so clones right they're the same so instead of having a SARS outbreak originate from a apartment + +01:10:55.460 --> 01:11:04.820 +building in China and ultimately end up somewhere in Toronto of all places which was probably part + +01:11:04.820 --> 01:11:09.300 +of an exercise again because they were elevated as people who knew what they were talking about + +01:11:09.380 --> 01:11:18.420 +at the beginning of this one and so with more clone units you could just have a bigger brighter + +01:11:18.420 --> 01:11:26.820 +signal that would be as homogenous as you wanted it to be and so interestingly enough when we were + +01:11:26.820 --> 01:11:37.060 +having this argument before Kevin McCurnan and I he brought up the idea that there should be some + +01:11:37.060 --> 01:11:44.420 +purity in the thing which I find curious and I just want to throw that up there for people who + +01:11:44.420 --> 01:11:54.420 +are listening and watching so this was from earlier this year something you know the things that he + +01:11:54.420 --> 01:12:00.260 +says that I ignore this is from a slide that I made for that I think it was in the in the last week + +01:12:00.260 --> 01:12:06.180 +of April the first week of May ask yourself why he's making six hour scooby-doo videos instead + +01:12:06.180 --> 01:12:11.060 +of downloading data from NCBI and trying to find a signal for his hypothesis in real data + +01:12:11.060 --> 01:12:19.060 +if the clones offer some advantage to Dr. Evil surely there is evidence of reduced mutation rates + +01:12:19.060 --> 01:12:26.340 +to prove this now interestingly I didn't want to make a big deal about this I went really fast + +01:12:26.340 --> 01:12:30.820 +through it because I'm a little scared it's going to disappear I'm a little scared that somebody's + +01:12:30.820 --> 01:12:37.460 +going to make an excuse for it to disappear but this is the paper from Alina Chan in May of 2020 + +01:12:37.940 --> 01:12:46.180 +Alina Chan with the book Alina Chan that works at the Broad Institute that Eric Lander is the head + +01:12:46.180 --> 01:12:54.420 +of at MIT Eric Lander the former boss of Kevin McCurnan at the Human Genome Project ladies and + +01:12:54.500 --> 01:13:01.860 +gentlemen the one that worked at the White House for Biden yeah him now runs the Broad + +01:13:01.860 --> 01:13:06.820 +Institute or still runs the Broad Institute at MIT where Alina Chan works Alina Chan submitted + +01:13:06.820 --> 01:13:14.820 +this paper this pre-print to bio archive on May in 2020 and here she has nucleosides nucleotide + +01:13:14.820 --> 01:13:22.820 +substitutions in the genome of SARS-1 versus nucleotide substances substitutions in this genome + +01:13:22.820 --> 01:13:29.860 +of SARS-CoV-2 and lo and behold what is this it looks like there is evidence of reduced mutation + +01:13:29.860 --> 01:13:34.660 +rates at the beginning of the pandemic relative to the beginning of the pandemic of SARS + +01:13:36.580 --> 01:13:45.060 +hugely reduced mutation rates publicized and observed by none other than Alina Chan who was + +01:13:45.060 --> 01:13:49.780 +incidentally has never published this paper officially under peer review + +01:13:50.500 --> 01:13:57.300 +and instead accepted a position at the Broad Institute as a staff scientist and sold a book + +01:13:57.300 --> 01:14:06.020 +about the lab leak it's a pretty interestingly tiny circle of monkeys considering the fact + +01:14:06.020 --> 01:14:17.300 +that Kevin McCurnan just recently said that I gave him the George Webb treatment like I mean + +01:14:17.300 --> 01:14:22.500 +have we are really running out of characters here is it really that many people aren't backstage + +01:14:22.500 --> 01:14:31.060 +anymore or what like when we when we spike this football ladies and gentlemen it's going to be + +01:14:31.060 --> 01:14:37.380 +quite a spike okay it's going to be quite a spike let's go back to some more traditional virology + +01:14:37.380 --> 01:14:43.140 +with the Great Ralph Barrack if you do phylogenetic analysis of the isolates that were sequenced + +01:14:45.620 --> 01:14:52.340 +you find they fall into two broad categories these this line indicates the strains underneath + +01:14:52.340 --> 01:14:58.020 +that line were identified during the epidemic and you have early phase isolates primarily of + +01:14:58.020 --> 01:15:04.260 +January 2003 after a variety of super spreading events you had middle phase isolates shown here + +01:15:04.260 --> 01:15:11.460 +by this group of isolates and then following infected physicians who came to Hong Kong and + +01:15:11.460 --> 01:15:16.100 +resulted in a super spreading event that some transmitted the virus to the rest of the world + +01:15:16.100 --> 01:15:22.100 +these were considered late phase isolates now if anything is suited to a super spreader event + +01:15:22.100 --> 01:15:27.780 +it is somebody who is infected with an infectious clone because all their cells will have been + +01:15:27.780 --> 01:15:34.020 +infected with a genomic RNA that was identical which means when they start making this swarm + +01:15:34.020 --> 01:15:42.180 +of of slightly altered viral genomes and they make this huge collection of sub genomic RNAs + +01:15:42.740 --> 01:15:47.860 +the collection of proteins that they produce will be much more homogenous than anything + +01:15:47.860 --> 01:15:53.860 +that would have been generated from a typical cultured virus if you could culture it but you + +01:15:53.860 --> 01:15:58.340 +can't you see you see what's magical about this you see how beautiful this is + +01:16:01.380 --> 01:16:06.340 +and so Ralph knows that he's making something that's super cool Ralph knows that he's making + +01:16:06.340 --> 01:16:14.180 +something that is not natural but he's arguing that not only can we make something super pure + +01:16:15.380 --> 01:16:22.580 +but if we find a way to alter it so that it's not dangerous so that it's useful to us we can make + +01:16:22.580 --> 01:16:31.060 +huge quantities of that useful new synthetic virus from Ralph Barrack's perspective he is on + +01:16:31.060 --> 01:16:38.420 +the verge of tapping into a biotechnology that has almost limitless possibilities + +01:16:41.060 --> 01:16:46.900 +once he can figure out a way to attenuate them so that they replicate in a way that we want them + +01:16:46.900 --> 01:16:53.140 +to that they have no toxic parts to them that the most toxic parts of their replication process + +01:16:53.140 --> 01:16:59.860 +are minimized then potentially we would have the ultimate transfection tool the ultimate gene + +01:16:59.860 --> 01:17:06.980 +therapy tool the ultimate personalized medicine tool that's what he sees here that's what Ralph + +01:17:06.980 --> 01:17:14.420 +Barrack is chasing he's chasing a universal vaccine a universal transfection tool a universal gene + +01:17:14.420 --> 01:17:22.580 +therapy that's what he's teaching chasing here and he wants to use this diverse set of coronaviruses + +01:17:22.580 --> 01:17:29.620 +in the wild that's present and sustaining in the wild in these populations has a basis for understanding + +01:17:29.620 --> 01:17:39.540 +them if this biology is it checks out it's a very noble effort in my humble opinion it's not the + +01:17:39.540 --> 01:17:48.820 +Scooby-Doo bad guy we're looking for it's just not the vast pool of heterogeneous zoonotic strains + +01:17:48.820 --> 01:17:53.540 +however reside up here most of these were in fact none of these were ever actually successfully + +01:17:53.540 --> 01:18:01.460 +cultured they actually exist as sequence signatures in silico so one of the immediate goals that we + +01:18:01.460 --> 01:18:08.420 +became interested in during the outbreak was to develop a platform of viruses that captured the + +01:18:08.500 --> 01:18:14.340 +heterogeneous that exists within the family of viruses and to do that we identified sort of + +01:18:14.340 --> 01:18:19.140 +representative strains for example middle phase early phase isolate or bony we had in the lab + +01:18:19.140 --> 01:18:26.740 +middle phase isolate with cohk w1 kzo2 with early phase isolate animal isolates like it's from sivets + +01:18:26.740 --> 01:18:34.100 +fc 16 and hc fc 6103 a raccoon dog isolate which is shown down here the sporadic 2004 human case + +01:18:35.060 --> 01:18:41.380 +and a couple of other viruses sequences were identified as good candidates that would capture + +01:18:41.380 --> 01:18:48.180 +all the diversity that had been identified within the sequence pool this shows the sequence that's + +01:18:48.180 --> 01:18:54.100 +the sequence variation within the spike like a protein if it's a blue box amino acid that's an + +01:18:54.100 --> 01:18:59.780 +animal associated residue early phase changes are shown here in yellow middle phase changes + +01:18:59.780 --> 01:19:05.860 +shown in orange and late phase changes shown in red in addition in 2004 there are a variety + +01:19:05.860 --> 01:19:10.580 +of other animal strains of sporadic human cases were identified that had additional variations + +01:19:10.580 --> 01:19:16.820 +shown here in white and it's interesting as much i i hope that everybody was paying attention right + +01:19:16.820 --> 01:19:25.620 +what i put up here before you were paying attention right um this paper is actually + +01:19:26.580 --> 01:19:32.740 +this paper this paper right here + +01:19:36.740 --> 01:19:42.660 +broad spectrum coronavirus antiviral drug discovery by allicin totura and cena bivari + +01:19:42.660 --> 01:19:48.420 +written in 2019 allicin totura was a postdoc of ralph veric + +01:19:48.420 --> 01:19:55.620 +so she's at us amrit + +01:19:59.140 --> 01:20:01.620 +you don't think she knows how to make infectious clones + +01:20:03.620 --> 01:20:07.300 +you don't think everybody that went through ralph veric's lab knows how to make infectious + +01:20:07.300 --> 01:20:13.860 +clones are you kidding me where did these people go off to they're not working at starbucks or + +01:20:13.860 --> 01:20:16.980 +something like that you think + +01:20:20.500 --> 01:20:25.460 +this paper is not accidental that it talks about a virus getting out of china and needing to use + +01:20:25.460 --> 01:20:32.900 +remdesivir as an antiviral for it it's not for nothing that we're defending the proof reading + +01:20:32.900 --> 01:20:41.460 +ability of exo x one gene or or our exo and gene uh the the ribonuclea we're not we're not + +01:20:41.460 --> 01:20:49.700 +defending these these things for nothing they're all related all these people all their nonsense + +01:20:49.700 --> 01:20:58.740 +it's all related don't you remember the the the domain program run by ditra + +01:21:00.340 --> 01:21:06.820 +run by robert malone who supposedly made an x-ray crystallography computer model + +01:21:06.900 --> 01:21:15.060 +of the three cl protease of the virus and then interface that computer model with all known + +01:21:15.060 --> 01:21:20.500 +pharmaceuticals with a volunteer team of researchers in a matter of weeks to identify + +01:21:20.500 --> 01:21:29.300 +femotidine and remdesivir as two usefully useful antivirals + +01:21:37.460 --> 01:21:40.020 +and cena bivari knew about it a year before that + +01:21:41.700 --> 01:21:45.620 +and ralph veric and mark dennison knew about it a few years before that + +01:21:46.580 --> 01:21:51.220 +for zika or for for Ebola for whatever else they were trying it on + +01:21:56.500 --> 01:21:58.740 +because they're all RNA viruses right + +01:22:00.980 --> 01:22:06.660 +don't you see the pattern here there is a mythology that has been laid down there is a + +01:22:06.660 --> 01:22:08.500 +mythology that is being defended + +01:22:08.900 --> 01:22:20.580 +this paper got in bobbie's book this paper that is in bobbie's book and actually actually + +01:22:20.580 --> 01:22:26.500 +right uh uh robert malone sold bobbie's book today on his sub stack which is pretty badass i like + +01:22:26.500 --> 01:22:33.460 +that a lot maybe that was part of the deal if you get that you stop that kooie from talking about + +01:22:33.540 --> 01:22:40.580 +me on his stream i'll i'll sell bobbie's book on my sub stack maybe that's what it is + +01:22:41.780 --> 01:22:46.260 +it's a pretty simple deal right you know robert malone's got a million subscribers if he tweets + +01:22:46.260 --> 01:22:49.860 +out a book probably a hundred thousand people buy it or ten thousand people buy it + +01:22:52.660 --> 01:22:57.540 +he better sub stack the book he wrote a wrote a review on the back cover + +01:22:58.420 --> 01:23:06.900 +i'd say buy a copy i'd say buy a copy and we'll meet and i'll autograph it for you + +01:23:07.860 --> 01:23:12.820 +um there's some bad stuff in there there's some good stuff in there it's probably the best + +01:23:12.820 --> 01:23:14.820 +document of all the nonsense people said + +01:23:18.580 --> 01:23:22.980 +the person who showed me this paper the person who showed me this paper his mark + +01:23:23.540 --> 01:23:29.780 +he's the tonic mark kulak it wasn't shown to me by by kevin mccairn it wasn't shown to be by + +01:23:29.780 --> 01:23:36.580 +paul katrel it wasn't shown to me by george web wasn't shown to me by kevin mccernan or stephanie + +01:23:36.580 --> 01:23:44.580 +sinev or steve kirsch or robert malone the only person that's ever mentioned this paper to me + +01:23:44.580 --> 01:23:48.740 +ever shown it to me ever found it and said holy crap dude did you read this + +01:23:49.300 --> 01:23:51.780 +this is mark kulak + +01:23:55.780 --> 01:24:00.900 +i just can't stress to you how all of these things line up in a way that that can't be + +01:24:00.900 --> 01:24:06.340 +discounted anymore all of these people all of their behavior line up in a way that cannot + +01:24:06.340 --> 01:24:11.300 +be discounted anymore even if we find out that there's a huge coronavirus background that + +01:24:11.300 --> 01:24:18.180 +coronaviruses can transmit for months even if we find out that clones can transmit for months + +01:24:19.620 --> 01:24:26.580 +the ultimate conclusion is is that we have been lied to by a group of medlers that sustained + +01:24:26.580 --> 01:24:34.980 +a worst-case scenario sustained a confusion and uncertainty and a doubt that allowed the world + +01:24:34.980 --> 01:24:41.620 +to be transfected and only after the world was transfected that these people do it about face + +01:24:41.620 --> 01:24:47.940 +and pretend like they always knew and the list of these people is long but it doesn't include + +01:24:47.940 --> 01:24:55.460 +Ralph Barrick the list of people who lied to us about the worst-case scenario at the beginning + +01:24:55.460 --> 01:25:02.020 +of the pandemic only to pivot after our kids had lost two years of school after our kids have + +01:25:02.020 --> 01:25:09.220 +been traumatized with masks after we had been locked down for a year and a half that's not Ralph Barrick + +01:25:09.220 --> 01:25:21.380 +case you can't tell i'm trying to get Ralph Barrick to come and interview on giga-owned + +01:25:21.380 --> 01:25:27.220 +biological wouldn't that be badass much of the variation actually falls within residues or regions + +01:25:27.220 --> 01:25:33.620 +that neutralizing epitopes were identified and in fact although the number of residues that are + +01:25:33.620 --> 01:25:38.420 +changed aren't that great you can actually reduce neutralization titers by about 20 fold + +01:25:39.460 --> 01:25:47.300 +with some of these variants now importantly Farzan's group showed that the two key changes + +01:25:47.300 --> 01:25:52.500 +during the epidemic where this life seemed to asparaging change at 4.79 and Assyrian 3 + +01:25:52.500 --> 01:26:00.340 +change at 4.87 that drove animal adaptation to human strain and so keep that in mind so + +01:26:01.060 --> 01:26:10.340 +without access to this pool of strains we decided to synthesize basically a portfolio of + +01:26:11.060 --> 01:26:16.980 +spike like a protein genes of about 4k each and then use a molecular clone for the + +01:26:16.980 --> 01:26:22.100 +urbani epidemic strain that we had built in the lab basically replacing the urbani spike + +01:26:22.100 --> 01:26:26.020 +one at a time with these various spike like a protein from different phases of the epidemic + +01:26:26.820 --> 01:26:32.580 +now all of these viruses were viable except for the sc-16 variant this actually can't recognize + +01:26:32.580 --> 01:26:38.100 +the humanase receptor so it didn't grow until we made mouth cells that consistently expressed + +01:26:38.100 --> 01:26:42.980 +the civetase to receptor and once we did that this virus to grow well before we had those cells + +01:26:43.620 --> 01:26:50.260 +since Farzan had identified this 4.79 changes the key residues so be careful there now they + +01:26:50.260 --> 01:26:55.620 +just admitted that they use mouth cells which have been genetically altered to express the + +01:26:55.620 --> 01:27:02.900 +civetase receptor now i can't stress enough we had this paper come out that everybody's been + +01:27:02.900 --> 01:27:07.460 +yelling about it i'm probably gonna have to do a show about it in the next couple days again + +01:27:08.260 --> 01:27:14.980 +about this paper that um you know i should do that video tomorrow that's what i'm gonna do + +01:27:14.980 --> 01:27:24.980 +tomorrow i'm gonna do i found this video with mccernan and um christine uh parks christina parks + +01:27:25.860 --> 01:27:35.140 +and um john bodewin and i've i've been meeting to do john bodewin um on highwire and so i should + +01:27:35.140 --> 01:27:41.860 +do john bodewin on highwire this week and then i'll do this this multiple person stream that + +01:27:41.940 --> 01:27:46.740 +happened a few days a few a week ago or so with mccernan and parks and bodewin that'll be good + +01:27:46.740 --> 01:27:52.900 +that's two good good study halls for this week um so what he's talking about here now is making a + +01:27:52.900 --> 01:27:57.940 +number of different clones where he's swapping the spike out um this is of course supposed to get + +01:27:57.940 --> 01:28:03.300 +us really excited about making chimeric viruses but here again he's gonna make clones of all these + +01:28:03.300 --> 01:28:09.700 +things so if there's a danger the danger is is that he's making clones if he wasn't making clones he + +01:28:09.700 --> 01:28:16.740 +couldn't even study these things the regular virus of these things is not attainable won't grow + +01:28:16.740 --> 01:28:21.940 +and even if you could grow it the titers would be so low it would be almost unsequitable + +01:28:23.300 --> 01:28:30.980 +that's the problem with these guys right and so don't let the the nonsense fool you + +01:28:30.980 --> 01:28:38.420 +infectious clones are the bedrock methodology of RNA virology change especially build a recombinant + +01:28:38.420 --> 01:28:44.180 +virus with that change and that virus could be cultured uh interestingly enough two of these + +01:28:44.180 --> 01:28:50.340 +the gz-o-2 and the uh hcse-61 of three viruses actually caused lethal infection in aged animals + +01:28:50.340 --> 01:28:56.020 +they produced an ARDS like disease saw SARS caused ARDS in humans or predominantly in age + +01:28:56.020 --> 01:29:01.300 +populations uh that's acute respiratory distress syndrome it's a clinically devastating end stage + +01:29:01.300 --> 01:29:06.420 +lung disease with about a 50 mortality rate so these are actually some of the first real good + +01:29:06.420 --> 01:29:13.300 +animal models for SARS infection and so remember what I said the other day again you have to + +01:29:14.100 --> 01:29:19.380 +take everything with a huge grain of salt if it's an animal model especially a genetically modified + +01:29:19.380 --> 01:29:27.700 +one then the expression of the protein that the virus interacts with could be so over or so + +01:29:27.780 --> 01:29:39.140 +inappropriate or any other number of of wrong that when exposed to these exosome collections + +01:29:39.140 --> 01:29:44.740 +these animals produce a really robust immune response or a really robust infection because + +01:29:45.300 --> 01:29:49.780 +these signals go everywhere so if you believe the biology that they need a receptor and that + +01:29:49.780 --> 01:29:54.420 +the receptor has to be somewhere and if the receptor isn't there then the virus can't hurt you + +01:29:54.980 --> 01:30:01.700 +if you believe this then these animal models are also very scary because you could imagine + +01:30:01.700 --> 01:30:07.300 +a scenario whereby genetically altering the animal you create an animal that is hyper + +01:30:07.940 --> 01:30:14.740 +susceptible to this manipulation hyper susceptible to the exposure to these signals + +01:30:15.700 --> 01:30:22.740 +so if you believe viruses work the way that these people say they do and that they need receptors + +01:30:22.820 --> 01:30:27.940 +and then you alter the expression of those receptors or even worse you homogenize them + +01:30:27.940 --> 01:30:34.180 +across the whole animal then their susceptibility to exposure to these things could be very different + +01:30:34.180 --> 01:30:40.180 +and that that could be great if you're writing grant applications that need an animal model that's + +01:30:40.180 --> 01:30:46.900 +very repeatable and very robust and so don't underestimate the stuff that we talked about with + +01:30:47.460 --> 01:30:53.620 +with Wolfgang Wodock keeps coming up here where you have academic biologists that are essentially + +01:30:53.620 --> 01:31:01.060 +academy-gicians they've been they become so good at doing experiments that are fundable + +01:31:02.020 --> 01:31:08.980 +asking questions that are fundable that they have stopped asking useful questions that they have + +01:31:08.980 --> 01:31:14.900 +stopped asking questions that actually move the ball forward but they're now asking sort of circular + +01:31:14.980 --> 01:31:22.580 +questions they don't want to make any progress they want to make the illusion of motion right + +01:31:24.420 --> 01:31:29.140 +and so in this scenario i don't think that's what what Ralph barracks doing at all i think he's + +01:31:29.140 --> 01:31:35.460 +actually making forward progress there are these RNA signals which have been very difficult to study + +01:31:35.460 --> 01:31:41.940 +in the wild because they're almost unculturable there's no infectious material available it's so + +01:31:41.940 --> 01:31:47.300 +rare and if you take this infectious material and try to culture it you often get very low to + +01:31:47.300 --> 01:31:58.260 +no tighter so infectious clone overcomes that Ralph barrack is a genius now um these viruses + +01:31:58.260 --> 01:32:03.780 +replicate of the human epidemic strains replicate efficiently in human airway epithelial cultures + +01:32:03.780 --> 01:32:08.500 +these are cultures that are derived from cells lining the trachea of transplant patients you can + +01:32:08.580 --> 01:32:13.780 +actually culture them on liquid air interfaces and they take on the architecture of the human airway + +01:32:13.780 --> 01:32:20.420 +stars coronavirus all the epidemic strains actually like to infect ciliated cells and these epidemic + +01:32:20.420 --> 01:32:26.900 +strains replicate very efficiently the animal strains however do not and this is just some + +01:32:26.900 --> 01:32:33.540 +fluorescent microscope images showing the cilia of the ciliated cells with an expression of the + +01:32:33.540 --> 01:32:39.220 +sars nucleic acid protein from an epidemic strain on the ciliated cells and the zoonotic + +01:32:39.220 --> 01:32:47.140 +strains se 16 in this and hdse 6103 and replicate however if you passage these viruses on human + +01:32:47.140 --> 01:32:52.660 +airway cells and culture you can actually rapidly select out variants that can replicate efficiently + +01:32:52.660 --> 01:32:59.540 +in human airways those viruses actually do not contain the mutations that would be had been + +01:32:59.620 --> 01:33:05.780 +predicted by mike farson as being which were clearly responsible for the 2002-2003 epidemic + +01:33:06.340 --> 01:33:14.100 +rather we saw changes um at positions 442 and 472 and 479 and so this is an interesting + +01:33:14.100 --> 01:33:23.300 +presentation of the data where it seems like this single trial of putting a clone on a epithelial + +01:33:23.300 --> 01:33:30.100 +cell culture a differentiated epithelial cell culture and then seeing sequence changes in the + +01:33:30.740 --> 01:33:37.860 +consensus sequence he seems to talk about it like okay so we put the car on the road and it drove + +01:33:37.860 --> 01:33:42.180 +down the road and then that's how it works and so if we did it again that's what would happen + +01:33:43.380 --> 01:33:49.300 +and i don't think that that's really how virology works i think if he did this again he would get + +01:33:49.300 --> 01:33:57.300 +different results here it might be a similar kind of selection process by which non-infectious + +01:33:57.300 --> 01:34:04.580 +particles versus infectious particles are selected and and can be seen in in in subsequent passages + +01:34:04.580 --> 01:34:10.660 +or detected in subsequent passages but that selection process is purely based on function + +01:34:10.660 --> 01:34:18.020 +then it's not going to be based on fitness nothing is is fitness unless it's number of copies right + +01:34:18.020 --> 01:34:23.300 +so then we're talking about a whole different thing and we're really only doing a selection + +01:34:23.300 --> 01:34:28.340 +process we're taking the whole supernatant here there's there's no like you know + +01:34:29.540 --> 01:34:34.740 +race to see who can make more copies of themselves we're not selecting based on fidelity or anything + +01:34:34.740 --> 01:34:38.980 +like that in fact we have the argument that there has to be mutation rate otherwise there would be + +01:34:39.060 --> 01:34:46.660 +a collapse so it's interesting um that's it's that's it mediated the cross species transmission + +01:34:46.660 --> 01:34:52.500 +event so in reality we've done this a couple of times there's actually several pathways by which + +01:34:52.500 --> 01:34:57.940 +the zoonautics are it could actually adapt and recognize the humanase receptor what's interesting + +01:34:57.940 --> 01:35:04.340 +is that the epidemic strains actually efficiently use both the humanase receptor and the civetase + +01:35:04.420 --> 01:35:10.260 +receptor when we in vitro select for human adapted strains on human airway culture + +01:35:11.140 --> 01:35:16.820 +they actually lose the ability to recognize the civic receptor so what this data suggests + +01:35:16.820 --> 01:35:22.900 +actually is that ours had existed in a transmission cycle between humans and civets actually probably + +01:35:22.900 --> 01:35:28.500 +for several several years prior to the 2002-2003 epidemic allowing the virus to + +01:35:28.580 --> 01:35:34.900 +regain the capacity to recognize both receptors okay so those were the easy ones to do + +01:35:35.860 --> 01:35:41.700 +oh with an application um so now that we had a large panel of our of uh variant viruses we could + +01:35:41.700 --> 01:35:46.500 +use those for therapeutic testing over vaccines in this case i'm going to show you an example of + +01:35:46.500 --> 01:35:52.420 +about 30 human monoclonal antibodies that were derived by Antonio lancevechia if you take those + +01:35:52.420 --> 01:35:56.820 +30 monoclonals and test their ability to neutralize all the strains that we've made in the laboratory + +01:35:56.820 --> 01:36:03.220 +you find some that only neutralize urbani some that neutralize all human strains some that neutralize + +01:36:03.220 --> 01:36:08.820 +some civets but not all the animal strain but you do end up with four antibodies that neutralize + +01:36:08.820 --> 01:36:14.340 +all strains we have in our portfolio including the ones that were in vitro adapted on human + +01:36:14.340 --> 01:36:22.260 +airway culture importantly if you select for escape using these antibodies these antibodies + +01:36:22.260 --> 01:36:26.420 +select for changes in different locations of the receptor binding domain + +01:36:26.420 --> 01:36:32.020 +and in fact three of them actually don't overlap yes 109 the 230 and the 227 + +01:36:32.020 --> 01:36:37.380 +don't overlap and so these represent good therapeutic cocktails that would capture most of the + +01:36:37.380 --> 01:36:43.460 +diversity that exists in SARS therapeutic cocktail what an interesting story we can tell there so + +01:36:44.260 --> 01:36:51.380 +there's a guy by the name of plumber who used to work on AIDS in Canada who died at the beginning + +01:36:51.460 --> 01:37:03.140 +of the pandemic he had a postdoc I think she was Chinese and she had a three antibody cocktail + +01:37:03.140 --> 01:37:13.620 +called Z map that was trialed against remdesivir and was actually being trialed against remdesivir + +01:37:13.620 --> 01:37:20.100 +probably at us amrit right before the pandemic and then it was shut down + +01:37:21.700 --> 01:37:30.020 +so the trial comparing remdesivir with Z map was stopped this is all Kevin sorry this is all + +01:37:30.020 --> 01:37:39.140 +marcoolax work here that I'm reciting from memory so we have an AIDS expert dying I think he fell + +01:37:39.140 --> 01:37:46.980 +on the sidewalk or something crazy like that and we have this spy Chinese lady who supposedly + +01:37:48.100 --> 01:37:53.700 +took some samples back to China and so she's a spy she she got put away but actually she was + +01:37:54.260 --> 01:38:03.540 +like on the cover of magazines and stuff is being the star of of of biology one year for Z map it's + +01:38:03.540 --> 01:38:11.460 +really cool because that was a three antibody cocktail this is also another proposed three + +01:38:11.460 --> 01:38:21.220 +antibody cocktail as a as a pan by an antiviral that's pretty that's pretty cool I I'm starting + +01:38:21.220 --> 01:38:28.020 +to see Ralph Barrett as a good guy it's weird and probably work in potential patients that would + +01:38:28.100 --> 01:38:33.140 +be infected during future epidemics and these also actually protect young and aged animals from + +01:38:33.140 --> 01:38:40.260 +lethal infection that was a paper published by Barry Rock in a couple papers now the civet + +01:38:40.260 --> 01:38:46.420 +and the raccoon dog strains were the easy ones the true reservoir for SARS is within bat population + +01:38:47.460 --> 01:38:52.980 +so if you look at a phylogenetic tree the human strains are shown here in red the civet strains + +01:38:52.980 --> 01:38:57.540 +raccoon dog strains are shown in purple but the real variation is within the bat strain + +01:38:58.580 --> 01:39:02.340 +um the reservoir it's thought that these were probably the reservoir for the + +01:39:03.140 --> 01:39:09.220 +emergence of the virus now these are about 80 to 90 percent identical to SARS they can't be + +01:39:09.220 --> 01:39:14.100 +cultured and they exist to sequence signature signatures in silico there's also extensive + +01:39:14.100 --> 01:39:20.020 +variation see they can't be cultured they exist as sequence signatures in silico well that just + +01:39:20.020 --> 01:39:26.900 +means they're stored on a computer they're keyboard viruses and so clones are really really important + +01:39:26.900 --> 01:39:33.940 +because you can take a virus that you've only detected in the wild as a sequence and create + +01:39:33.940 --> 01:39:41.060 +large quantities of that RNA and electropyrated into cells and get those cells to run it through + +01:39:41.060 --> 01:39:49.460 +their ribosomes and package it the only thing you can't do sometimes is passage it + +01:39:49.940 --> 01:39:57.940 +but the cells can be made to take the RNA up they can be it can be electropyrated in + +01:40:00.020 --> 01:40:05.540 +you can use lip effectamine to get it in and then those cells will read the RNA and those + +01:40:05.540 --> 01:40:09.780 +proteins will produce and the sub genomic RNAs will be produced and everything will be packaged + +01:40:09.860 --> 01:40:20.740 +up and then you'll get this this effect this is cool because this is really underscoring + +01:40:22.580 --> 01:40:29.700 +that downplaying the clones is just it's absurd it's absurd it is a bedrock methodology of RNA + +01:40:29.700 --> 01:40:34.980 +virology through the replicase and elsewhere in the genome so when we decided we were going to + +01:40:34.980 --> 01:40:41.620 +synthetically resurrect the entire virus now before we started it's important to note this is a + +01:40:44.340 --> 01:40:51.220 +the cryoem reconstruction of the SARS glycoprotein spike notice that there are three receptor binding + +01:40:51.220 --> 01:40:57.300 +domains shown here in with bubbles that actually engage the ACE2 receptor if you look at the sequence + +01:40:57.300 --> 01:41:03.860 +the receptor binding domain shown here in yellow there's a large amount of sequence variation + +01:41:03.860 --> 01:41:09.060 +especially within the contact interface residues that engage the human ACE receptor + +01:41:09.060 --> 01:41:13.620 +and in fact there's only four of 13 contact interface residues that are retained in these + +01:41:13.620 --> 01:41:18.580 +fat strains but we don't actually think it's going to use the human ACE receptor to get into cells + +01:41:19.300 --> 01:41:24.580 +in fact we think we're going to have a tough time culturing the virus now it's important to note + +01:41:24.580 --> 01:41:31.700 +that the SARS RBD that is was identified has been proposed by a couple of groups that it may have + +01:41:31.700 --> 01:41:37.220 +been introduced by recombination processes from unknown strains that haven't yet been identified + +01:41:37.220 --> 01:41:42.820 +and that that led to the initial cross-species transmission events now to get back to the + +01:41:42.820 --> 01:41:48.900 +issue of in silico sequences they actually represent hypothetical viruses most synthetic viruses that + +01:41:48.900 --> 01:41:55.540 +have been resurrected to this point actually we knew that the sequence was infectious in this case + +01:41:55.540 --> 01:42:01.460 +we actually don't know which of the sequences in GenBank were infectious if any so to do that + +01:42:01.460 --> 01:42:05.860 +with an error rate in GenBank ranging from about one to five hundred to one to ten thousand depending + +01:42:05.860 --> 01:42:12.100 +on the sequence we had to do extensive bioinformatic analysis to identify what we thought was the likely + +01:42:12.100 --> 01:42:18.020 +consensus sequence well that sounds like that sequencing is a lot more hairy than i thought it was + +01:42:18.740 --> 01:42:22.980 +I just thought sequences were sequences you get one it just kind of spits it out + +01:42:22.980 --> 01:42:26.900 +beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep + +01:42:26.900 --> 01:42:32.660 +then you just kind of read it off right now we're getting back to the Vincent Rancin yellow + +01:42:32.660 --> 01:42:41.940 +explanation of consensus sequence the the more traditional Vincent Rancin yellow will say that + +01:42:41.940 --> 01:42:50.820 +the consensus sequence might not even actually exist but Kevin McCurnan says that there are 15 + +01:42:50.820 --> 01:42:57.380 +million SARS-CoV-2 genomes on on gents said they're all real they're all independent they all come + +01:42:57.380 --> 01:43:03.140 +from different people so they have to be real what's Ralph Barrick talking about here then + +01:43:03.940 --> 01:43:16.500 +I see a battleship size incongruency between pre-COVID virology and post-COVID virology + +01:43:19.860 --> 01:43:25.300 +I really do I really think we're on to something here I think with a couple weeks of work + +01:43:25.940 --> 01:43:34.260 +this is going to be over and we're going to be able to you know incorporate all of these + +01:43:34.260 --> 01:43:40.500 +various factions into a common explanation for why a lot of people were mistaken + +01:43:41.460 --> 01:43:47.700 +why a lot of people were fooled why you could be taken all the way by no virus why you could + +01:43:47.700 --> 01:43:52.900 +be taken all the way by lab leak why you could be taken all the way by my market zoneosis and + +01:43:52.980 --> 01:43:58.660 +why you could be taken all the way by by any of these other in-betweens including + +01:44:00.100 --> 01:44:01.700 +including iatrogenic murder + +01:44:04.420 --> 01:44:11.460 +but in the end there's only one explanation that fits all of them that lets the most people on + +01:44:11.460 --> 01:44:22.660 +earth be right and I think that's why everybody's so angry because the explanation that we are being + +01:44:22.660 --> 01:44:28.900 +fooled into believing it's Ralph Barrick and Tony Fauci and eco-health alliance + +01:44:30.420 --> 01:44:39.940 +instead of understanding that this technology was actually available available it was available + +01:44:40.900 --> 01:44:41.860 +to us Amrit + +01:44:44.420 --> 01:44:50.020 +probably for a couple decades right ever since they first did it with the polio virus + +01:44:53.540 --> 01:44:57.860 +we have to wake up and apologize to our kids sooner or later we might as well do it now + +01:44:58.660 --> 01:45:03.380 +none of the strains that we actually saw we thought was completely correct some of them had + +01:45:03.380 --> 01:45:08.980 +deletions in the sequence of the five prime ends that we had to make some educated guess + +01:45:10.180 --> 01:45:14.900 +the basic approach that we build coronavirus is using our molecular clone is shown here + +01:45:14.900 --> 01:45:21.860 +with the SARS clone shown in blue is the clone is broken into six five kv about five kv thesis + +01:45:22.660 --> 01:45:29.620 +each piece is flanked by bagel one restriction endonucleate sites these are class two S restriction + +01:45:29.620 --> 01:45:35.060 +enzymes that recognize a palindromic sequence and so this is asymmetric and this is almost + +01:45:35.060 --> 01:45:40.020 +certainly one of the enzymes that was mentioned in the foyer request that was recently released + +01:45:41.300 --> 01:45:50.580 +and so the release of this enzyme or related enzymes as a list in an email or a supplementary + +01:45:50.580 --> 01:45:56.580 +document or something like that is now being misconstrued as evidence that the diffuse proposal + +01:45:56.580 --> 01:46:01.060 +is real and that they were making clones and that they were spraying them into bad caves and they + +01:46:01.060 --> 01:46:08.980 +put fear and cleavage sites at the joint between S1 and S2 yada yada yada so most likely that's + +01:46:08.980 --> 01:46:15.780 +why we're being fed this video is so that we get to this point right here and we see how clones + +01:46:15.860 --> 01:46:24.420 +are assembled and now i'm sure he's about to tell us that this right here represents a S2 S1 S2 + +01:46:26.340 --> 01:46:32.420 +clone junction there so that they can substitute the S1 from other coronavirus is right in there + +01:46:32.420 --> 01:46:40.260 +let's listen this allows since these ends are asymmetric they actually will not concatomerize + +01:46:40.260 --> 01:46:44.580 +like classic sticky ends left by restriction enzymes but rather they become directional + +01:46:45.220 --> 01:46:50.660 +so if you end clone A with a bagel site that leaves one three nucleotide overhags and the + +01:46:50.660 --> 01:46:55.060 +five prime end of the B fragment with the complementary three nucleotide overhags they + +01:46:55.060 --> 01:46:59.780 +totally get it directly you change different bagel sites at each piece it's midnight + +01:47:00.740 --> 01:47:07.940 +assemble up into 30k B chromosomes like tinker toys like tinker toys like tinker toys + +01:47:07.940 --> 01:47:13.300 +batching home that we made that's actually a good way to date somebody like do you know + +01:47:13.300 --> 01:47:19.140 +what tinker toys man i had tinker toys you know i had lots of them like a lot of them i had a + +01:47:19.140 --> 01:47:25.300 +lot of tinker toys i think i had like three of the cylindrical containers i could go down + +01:47:25.300 --> 01:47:30.740 +with tinker toys hey by the way it's uh past midnight so technically speaking i just turned + +01:47:30.740 --> 01:47:39.860 +52 years old yeah 52 52 years old how's that for old using blue heron and biobasic basically + +01:47:39.860 --> 01:47:45.060 +is interchangeable with the urbanic clone the only real difference was that we broke the F + +01:47:45.060 --> 01:47:50.180 +fragment into two pieces so that we could play with the receptor binding domain easily if this + +01:47:50.180 --> 01:47:56.020 +thing didn't turn out to be infectious and in fact we made this clone we built the fool on cDNA we + +01:47:56.020 --> 01:48:00.660 +drove transcripts electroprated that in the cells and we can see evidence of replication by + +01:48:00.660 --> 01:48:05.540 +the synthesis of sub-genomic messenger RNA but we couldn't culture the virus and we couldn't pass + +01:48:05.540 --> 01:48:10.420 +it from cell to cell ah we couldn't culture the virus we couldn't passage it from cell to cell so + +01:48:10.420 --> 01:48:17.460 +they could see that the RNA was being sorted into sub-genomic RNAs but they couldn't passage it from + +01:48:17.460 --> 01:48:23.620 +cell to cell does that mean it was not getting packaged or does that mean that it wasn't binding + +01:48:23.620 --> 01:48:28.980 +in the next passage i think it wasn't binding in the next passage is the right explanation + +01:48:28.980 --> 01:48:35.940 +which means that you could make virus from these clones you just have to have a receptive cell type + +01:48:35.940 --> 01:48:40.900 +on the other end that's going to do it so they transfected listen carefully they transfected + +01:48:41.540 --> 01:48:49.460 +this clone into that cell culture and it packaged virus for them you know it packaged virus because + +01:48:49.460 --> 01:48:54.420 +it made the sub-genomic RNAs those were translated into the many many many copies of the proteins + +01:48:54.420 --> 01:48:59.860 +and all this stuff happened it's just that when they took the supernatant off of that cell culture + +01:48:59.860 --> 01:49:06.180 +and tried to put it on the next cell culture it didn't propagate and that has to do with the spike + +01:49:06.180 --> 01:49:11.860 +protein receptor binding domain compatibility with the cell culture that you're using according to + +01:49:11.860 --> 01:49:18.020 +their methodology explanation so let's listen to that again because i want you to hear what he did + +01:49:18.100 --> 01:49:22.900 +he electroporated it into a cell culture but couldn't get it to jump from cell culture to cell + +01:49:22.900 --> 01:49:30.820 +culture which is what culturing is what passaging is clearly there was RNA the cell and we could + +01:49:30.820 --> 01:49:36.100 +clone we built the full-on cDNA we drove transcripts electroprated that in the cell and we can see + +01:49:36.100 --> 01:49:40.740 +evidence of replication by the synthesis of sub-genomic messenger RNA but we couldn't + +01:49:40.740 --> 01:49:45.380 +culture the virus and we couldn't pass it from cell to cell sub-genomic electroprated that and in fact + +01:49:45.380 --> 01:49:50.660 +we made this clone we built the full-on cDNA we drove transcripts electroprated that in the cell + +01:49:50.660 --> 01:49:55.380 +and we can see evidence of replication by the synthesis of sub-genomic messenger RNA + +01:49:55.380 --> 01:49:59.780 +but we couldn't culture the virus and we couldn't pass it from cell to cell so clearly there was + +01:49:59.780 --> 01:50:08.740 +probably a defect in entry to solve that problem we use literature data that has suggested that + +01:50:08.740 --> 01:50:14.020 +RBD domains of coronaviruses may be interchangeable between species so we took the human + +01:50:14.900 --> 01:50:20.580 +the urbani epidemic receptor-bonding domain that's 210 amino acids and went + +01:50:21.620 --> 01:50:28.260 +and dropped that into the bat genome backbone producing a chimera with the receptor-bonding domain + +01:50:28.260 --> 01:50:33.940 +driven from the epidemic strains now when we built that clone drove transcripts and electroprated + +01:50:33.940 --> 01:50:39.140 +that in the cells we got a virus that could replicate quite efficiently this is just some + +01:50:39.140 --> 01:50:46.020 +growth curve data showing I think the black box is the urbani wild type and the white circles are + +01:50:46.020 --> 01:50:52.980 +open open symbols are the bat viruses you can see they replicate exactly as good as the urbani + +01:50:52.980 --> 01:50:58.900 +epidemic strain at low and high multiplicities of infection they recognize the human ACE2 receptor + +01:50:58.900 --> 01:51:04.420 +and dbt cells at low and high multiplicity infections and grow just like the epidemic strains + +01:51:04.420 --> 01:51:10.020 +and they also retain the ability to use the CIVID ACE2 receptor just like the epidemic strains + +01:51:10.020 --> 01:51:16.500 +low and high multiplicity they also are capable of infecting human airway epithelial cultures + +01:51:16.500 --> 01:51:21.380 +and targeting ciliated cells just like the epidemic strain and they grow to similar titer + +01:51:23.700 --> 01:51:28.740 +now if you make aniseera just against the bat spike like a protein + +01:51:29.620 --> 01:51:36.500 +and use that aniseera to target the SARS wild type virus it will not neutralize that virus + +01:51:37.220 --> 01:51:43.140 +so clearly aniseera and vaccines derived against epidemic strains are not going to protect against + +01:51:43.140 --> 01:51:49.540 +the bat strains to use that same sera against the RBD chimeric virus you can neutralize it + +01:51:49.540 --> 01:51:55.220 +indicating that there are neutralizing episodes that resist that exist outside the RBDs and if + +01:51:55.220 --> 01:52:00.340 +you take the human monoclonal to target the epidemic strain RBDs you can neutralize these + +01:52:00.340 --> 01:52:05.700 +virus with quite efficient so one thing that I think we all need to learn is exactly what neutralized + +01:52:05.700 --> 01:52:13.460 +means in this context because I kind of was under the naive operation or operating under the naive + +01:52:13.460 --> 01:52:20.580 +assumption that that neutralized means to bind to the receptor binding domains so that the receptor + +01:52:20.580 --> 01:52:24.580 +binding domain is not able to interact with the receptor and therefore you don't get + +01:52:25.540 --> 01:52:30.420 +infection so I thought that's what neutralizing was but I think neutralizing has more to do with + +01:52:30.420 --> 01:52:38.900 +like precipitation and if you get enough antibodies stuck onto you then you come out of out of solution + +01:52:38.900 --> 01:52:46.020 +and I'm wondering if it's something like this too like uh aggregation or something like that + +01:52:46.020 --> 01:52:51.460 +that causes neutralization and precipitation so I need to learn that a little bit better because + +01:52:51.460 --> 01:52:57.860 +I do know that that people like Mark Bailey and and uh Steven Lanka have been working on trying to + +01:52:57.860 --> 01:53:02.900 +understand what it is that virologists are meaning with that and I do think that that is something + +01:53:02.900 --> 01:53:11.220 +that we should be masters of here as well so I apologize for that so in summary um certainly + +01:53:11.220 --> 01:53:15.780 +synthetic genomics and reverse genetics this can be a platform to recover uncultivatable + +01:53:15.780 --> 01:53:20.580 +zoonotic precursors can be used to synthesize this is actually the largest synthetic virus + +01:53:20.580 --> 01:53:27.540 +to date it's going to be a short record but it is a record um and you can use it now to identify + +01:53:27.540 --> 01:53:33.860 +a broad spectrum antiviral from the vaccine clearly the RBDs are interchangeable uh this is with an + +01:53:33.860 --> 01:53:40.980 +89 percent amino acid identity within the spike it's the minimal domain required to host shift + +01:53:40.980 --> 01:53:46.420 +coronaviruses what is the phylogenetic limits to RBD interchange we actually don't know + +01:53:47.620 --> 01:53:52.580 +clearly the human monoclonals and vaccines targeting the SARS RBD would provide protective + +01:53:52.580 --> 01:53:56.740 +immunity against natural isolates that emerge that's not my sound the overall process is in + +01:53:56.740 --> 01:54:04.500 +future or unfortunately by deliberate design so now I want to move to the next part of the + +01:54:04.500 --> 01:54:09.700 +talk which is synthetic the optimization scheme to attenuate SARS coronavirus pathogenesis + +01:54:10.580 --> 01:54:16.420 +this is the maturation pathway okay so after as he explains the maturation pathway I want you to + +01:54:16.980 --> 01:54:22.340 +imagine that we're trying to solve the puzzle of the infectious cycle as well and then I also + +01:54:22.340 --> 01:54:30.820 +want you to listen carefully to the amount of effort time thought and ideas that are going into + +01:54:31.620 --> 01:54:42.340 +the attenuation of coronaviruses and a general strategy to attenuate all coronaviruses specifically + +01:54:42.340 --> 01:54:50.580 +in the context of recombination and so he's keenly aware that there's a problem with the + +01:54:50.580 --> 01:54:56.100 +oral poliovirus vaccine that when you give the oral poliovirus vaccine it can mix with other + +01:54:56.180 --> 01:55:03.460 +polioviruses in the gut of people and then become active polio again and he's at least + +01:55:03.460 --> 01:55:09.300 +theoretically aware of the possibility that should you make a de attenuated coronavirus like say + +01:55:10.100 --> 01:55:17.300 +take out some genes then it would be very easy for that clone that you're using as an attenuated + +01:55:17.300 --> 01:55:24.500 +virus to attain that gene to acquire that gene from a co-infection and so what he's going to explain + +01:55:24.500 --> 01:55:32.580 +to you is how these translational regulatory sequences can be altered in such a way to prevent + +01:55:32.580 --> 01:55:38.500 +recombination with wild type viruses that's his strategy I think it's a pretty cool idea + +01:55:39.300 --> 01:55:46.340 +it suggests that these self-replicating RNAs are are some kind of a real biological phenomenon + +01:55:47.220 --> 01:55:52.980 +and it suggests that making infectious clones of them is a really handy way of exploring the + +01:55:52.980 --> 01:56:01.140 +variation within them that is otherwise un-intractable by laboratory means so here we go again I + +01:56:01.140 --> 01:56:07.540 +apologize that this is such a fuzzy thing but I will try to help you follow along way for how + +01:56:07.540 --> 01:56:12.500 +far it gets out of the cell the nuclei caps is the line underneath an intermediate compartment + +01:56:12.500 --> 01:56:19.140 +in the ruffiardology with a M glycoprotein and the E-protein are expressed and then these the M + +01:56:19.140 --> 01:56:24.900 +and the E-protein actually drive the assembly of virion which then mature in the Golgi and then + +01:56:24.900 --> 01:56:31.940 +are released in the cell and secretory vesicles which fuse the last membrane. Now if you knock out + +01:56:31.940 --> 01:56:39.780 +E-protein expression this pathway is still viable but you reduce virus yields by about two logs + +01:56:39.780 --> 01:56:44.900 +and if you knock out the M glycoprotein expression or M and E together you don't make any virus + +01:56:45.460 --> 01:56:51.620 +so M protein will stop without the M protein nothing happens the E-protein will still + +01:56:52.660 --> 01:56:57.860 +get some viral production I wonder what they mean by that I guess it's just detectable RNA in the + +01:56:57.860 --> 01:57:04.100 +supernatant. So our approach to de-optimize SARS + +01:57:04.100 --> 01:57:14.740 +coronavirus the SARS coronavirus genome and to attenuate pathogenesis focused primarily on the + +01:57:14.740 --> 01:57:21.460 +E and the M glycoprotein genes of about 350 amino acids in total. The strategy we used was to + +01:57:21.460 --> 01:57:26.900 +progressively increase the number of de-optimized codons so we started with serine to produce a + +01:57:26.900 --> 01:57:34.180 +D-serve virus serine-loosing R gene to produce the SLR de-optimized strain or a five-set DSLR + +01:57:34.180 --> 01:57:39.700 +VA strain basically the idea is you create a real stat where you're increasing the number of + +01:57:39.700 --> 01:57:44.020 +de-optimized residues and turning down expression of critical proteins needed for release. + +01:57:45.220 --> 01:57:50.100 +So that's an interesting strategy right he's changing the codons + +01:57:50.420 --> 01:58:00.180 +not changing the codons like to different different amino acids but he's changing the amino acid + +01:58:00.180 --> 01:58:08.500 +codons so that they're not as they're not what they were in the virus which he assumes is optimized + +01:58:09.460 --> 01:58:16.580 +which I think is a pretty cool thing because the the assumption for the mRNA + +01:58:17.220 --> 01:58:27.780 +transfection is that the viral codon selection the the actual codons used by the virus are not + +01:58:27.780 --> 01:58:33.380 +important and in fact we can change them to whatever we want so that we get more protein + +01:58:34.180 --> 01:58:41.300 +and we can even chemically alter the RNA with M1 pseudo-uridine alteration so that's fine + +01:58:41.300 --> 01:58:49.460 +we don't care about that either even though here Ralph Barrick is saying that just by changing + +01:58:49.460 --> 01:58:58.260 +these synonymous codons for one or two or five amino acids he can progressively attenuate + +01:58:59.460 --> 01:59:05.940 +viral production he can hamper viral production he can handicap the virus just by changing its + +01:59:05.940 --> 01:59:13.620 +codons this is pretty antithetical to the idea that Moderna can just change those codons and + +01:59:13.620 --> 01:59:20.980 +it doesn't matter at all right that's that's pretty impressive this is just a cartoon to show + +01:59:20.980 --> 01:59:26.340 +amino acid sequence and the wild type virus sequence here so like in the three set at the + +01:59:26.340 --> 01:59:32.180 +searing residue which was optimal in the case of SARS we just change it to the most + +01:59:32.420 --> 01:59:43.460 +rare codon if you look at the statistics here in general in the wild type E and M gene they're + +01:59:43.460 --> 01:59:50.420 +about 39 codons that are de-optimized in the one set this increased to 52 the three set 94 and the + +01:59:50.420 --> 01:59:58.900 +five set 134 so they're only de-optimizing the codons of the M or the E protein which is even more of a + +01:59:58.900 --> 02:00:06.180 +subtle modification think about that so look at the ct ctb values that Eckerd just talked about + +02:00:07.140 --> 02:00:09.780 +by these values here so these are very minimally + +02:00:13.140 --> 02:00:20.820 +on the negative side of the codon pair usage we also made random controls where we scrambled + +02:00:20.820 --> 02:00:25.780 +the codon usage much like Eckerd did retaining the wild type genome organization lightless and we + +02:00:25.780 --> 02:00:33.300 +made three set in the five set this is we made these in a mouse adapted background so they would + +02:00:33.300 --> 02:00:40.660 +be pathogenic in mice mouse adapted growth is shown here black the blue lines show the searing + +02:00:40.660 --> 02:00:47.860 +de-optimized viruses which also reach high titers by about 24 hours post-infection if you look at + +02:00:47.860 --> 02:00:52.020 +the three set mutants however you see about a log log and a half reduction as compared to wild + +02:00:52.020 --> 02:00:57.940 +type the three set randomized virus and the five set randomized virus in this case i'm showing + +02:00:57.940 --> 02:01:03.060 +two different plaques and the five set randomized viruses through just about like wild type so just + +02:01:03.060 --> 02:01:07.940 +like Eckerd had reported if you randomized the sequence it really has very little impact on + +02:01:07.940 --> 02:01:15.460 +replication but the optimization does affect final yield now in contrast to what Eckerd talked + +02:01:15.460 --> 02:01:22.100 +about we actually deoptimized in the middle of the downstream ores which would potentially affect + +02:01:23.140 --> 02:01:28.340 +critical sequences that would affect RNA synthesis we're very careful not to knock out any known + +02:01:29.140 --> 02:01:35.780 +sequences regulatory sequences that make messenger RNA however both the searing and the SLR mu knocked + +02:01:35.780 --> 02:01:40.740 +out messenger RNA six expression which you can see right here these actually were the messages + +02:01:40.740 --> 02:01:46.340 +the genes the messages that encode the gene so this is supposed to be a northern blot where + +02:01:46.340 --> 02:01:52.820 +the darkness is supposed to show you RNA so this isn't a very clean blot there's an awful lot of + +02:01:54.180 --> 02:02:01.540 +what is this i mean holy balls you're not getting a clear signal here certainly i mean + +02:02:02.100 --> 02:02:12.020 +i don't know what i see here but that's not what i would expect to see um he's looking for sub-genomic + +02:02:12.020 --> 02:02:18.660 +RNAs i guess so this would be the full genome up here i don't know that that's what i would assume + +02:02:18.660 --> 02:02:24.580 +um it's two hours and i don't think he's going to say very much i'm just going to leave it go but i'm + +02:02:24.580 --> 02:02:28.980 +going to say very much i'm just going to leave it go but i might put it on a little faster and i + +02:02:28.980 --> 02:02:36.420 +got to get to bed holy cow it's my birthday today tomorrow so we deoptimized so we actually found + +02:02:36.420 --> 02:02:40.020 +some evidence of long-range RNA RNA interactions that are regulatory elements that we're trying to + +02:02:40.020 --> 02:02:45.620 +decipher the five set the optimized trains showed no cpe in culture if you develop primaries to the + +02:02:45.620 --> 02:02:49.940 +five prime end of the genome and the leader sequence and a primer down here in the message six + +02:02:49.940 --> 02:02:53.460 +that encodes work six you can actually identify leader containing transcripts which are signatures + +02:02:53.540 --> 02:02:57.060 +of the messenger RNAs that are made during infected cells in these cultures you can see evidence of + +02:02:57.060 --> 02:03:02.260 +message seven i'm sorry message six five four and three this is a day one post-transfection + +02:03:02.260 --> 02:03:06.020 +even by day ten you can still see these transcripts infected cells and they continue at that level + +02:03:06.020 --> 02:03:09.540 +with about five passages at five-day intervals but you actually never can actually develop + +02:03:09.540 --> 02:03:13.140 +a virus you can never plaque a virus you can never actually show a virus is there producing cpe + +02:03:13.140 --> 02:03:19.140 +so that's interesting so now he's looking at how the RNA signal develops over days of passage + +02:03:19.940 --> 02:03:24.580 +and he he shows how the robustness disappears i think that's kind of cool + +02:03:25.460 --> 02:03:32.500 +um i don't see a control here though i don't see how the RNA sustains over in days when it's + +02:03:32.500 --> 02:03:39.620 +not attenuated that would be a nice control to have here right um anyway i think this is where + +02:03:39.620 --> 02:03:45.060 +he's going to end it he's probably just going to close he had deoptimization he's going to show + +02:03:45.060 --> 02:03:50.980 +these three different ways that they did it and the sites that they changed and then he shows + +02:03:50.980 --> 02:03:58.260 +pathogenesis of these things in the mice he made a mouse adapted version of it for aged mice um + +02:03:58.260 --> 02:04:03.220 +it's an it's an it's an oh these are all papers that we've looked at before they're all relevant for + +02:04:03.860 --> 02:04:12.900 +the clone discussion because the clone discussion puts us in um the context of the pandemic and + +02:04:12.980 --> 02:04:19.300 +trying to explain what's happening here i want to just leave you with the slide that i put up + +02:04:19.300 --> 02:04:30.260 +earlier um with regard to alina chan um and kevin mccurnan's objection that uh maybe there should be + +02:04:30.260 --> 02:04:37.940 +some some so ask yourself why he's making six-hour scooby-doo videos instead of downloading data + +02:04:38.420 --> 02:04:43.700 +from ncbi and find a signal for his hypothesis in real data if the clones offer some advantage + +02:04:43.700 --> 02:04:51.620 +for dr evil surely there is evidence of reduced mutation rates to prove this and i would humbly + +02:04:51.620 --> 02:04:59.140 +submit that actually alina chan and employee of the broad institute for whom your uh old boss is + +02:04:59.140 --> 02:05:04.980 +now the director for quite some time um has data from the beginning of the pandemic that seems to + +02:05:04.980 --> 02:05:15.300 +show a much lower mutation rate in the sars 2 sequences than those found during a similar time + +02:05:15.300 --> 02:05:22.980 +frame in the sars pandemic which might be the reduced mutation rate you were looking for um + +02:05:22.980 --> 02:05:28.340 +we have a long ways to go we got a lot of stuff to talk about but i'm not really worried the reason + +02:05:28.340 --> 02:05:32.500 +why i'm not worried is because people have lose in their minds and when people lose their minds + +02:05:32.580 --> 02:05:37.380 +it usually means that you're right over the target have never seen so many people lose their + +02:05:37.380 --> 02:05:42.900 +mind at once and i've never seen so many people do it that weren't doing it together before + +02:05:43.700 --> 02:05:49.460 +um people are coming together and retweeting and talking to one another and patting each other + +02:05:49.460 --> 02:05:55.700 +on the back that heretofore have never really interacted in that way before and that's pretty + +02:05:56.020 --> 02:06:03.780 +special not only that but it's brought together a few of these dream team members and uh i think + +02:06:04.340 --> 02:06:14.500 +the spontaneous sort of confluence of efforts are going to become obvious what everybody's + +02:06:14.500 --> 02:06:19.700 +arguing about is we all got to come together because because because i'm making exactly the + +02:06:19.700 --> 02:06:24.740 +opposite argument i don't need to come together with anybody because if we are fighting for the + +02:06:24.740 --> 02:06:31.140 +same things then our our efforts will buy necessity and buy natural + +02:06:32.660 --> 02:06:38.100 +by natural order where they will they will become a confluence of effort toward the same goals + +02:06:38.740 --> 02:06:45.540 +my goal is to have our children realize that the vaccine schedule in america is a criminal + +02:06:45.540 --> 02:06:52.420 +enterprise my goal is to have our children realize that virology especially RNA virology + +02:06:52.420 --> 02:06:58.180 +is wholly dependent on cloning technology and in fact a pandemic could not have occurred in + +02:06:58.180 --> 02:07:02.820 +the way that they said it is no matter how much they insist that the sequences are here and not + +02:07:02.820 --> 02:07:09.220 +there or that they're real or they're not they are lying about the fidelity and that's all that i + +02:07:09.220 --> 02:07:15.940 +can say and and all this this insistence is not good enough they need to start teaching because + +02:07:15.940 --> 02:07:21.780 +that's what we're doing that's what we've been doing for three and a half years no one else is doing it + +02:07:21.780 --> 02:07:26.100 +just us just here and so if you like what we're doing you like what we've done + +02:07:27.060 --> 02:07:32.180 +please support our work go to get your own biological and subscribe share the work if you can + +02:07:33.700 --> 02:07:41.940 +we are gaining momentum tomorrow is my birthday but i will be on i'm going to try and be on as + +02:07:41.940 --> 02:07:46.500 +often as literally as often as possible i don't know if it's going to be every day or not + +02:07:47.380 --> 02:07:53.940 +um but i really am targeting every day but i also have other things that i'm trying to get + +02:07:53.940 --> 02:07:59.060 +regular with including the sub stack i don't think i'm going to make a sub stack and transcript of + +02:07:59.060 --> 02:08:03.540 +this one but i want to do it for a lot of them and so i don't know if you've noticed it or not but + +02:08:03.540 --> 02:08:11.140 +there is a sub stack now the sub stack has videos that are on vimeo um those videos i've added + +02:08:11.700 --> 02:08:19.780 +uh i've added subtitles to and so that makes them also kind of um better to watch you can also + +02:08:19.780 --> 02:08:23.860 +share them a little bit better the sub stack maybe is a better way to share them because people can + +02:08:23.860 --> 02:08:32.340 +scan the the the transcript as well and so wolf gang wodocks interview is up there um my presentation + +02:08:32.340 --> 02:08:38.660 +to the uk doctors is up there um and uh i'm just going to keep trying to do it every time i get a + +02:08:38.660 --> 02:08:43.860 +stream that i think is good enough or is worthy of it um we're going to do a sub stack on it i + +02:08:43.860 --> 02:08:49.460 +don't think i'm going to do this one because tomorrow i'm going to try and do if all goes well + +02:08:49.460 --> 02:08:55.460 +i'm going to try and do a pretty decent show tomorrow um but it's a birthday and i've got two + +02:08:55.460 --> 02:08:59.460 +basketball games so i don't know there's going to be a show and it's don't know if it's going to be + +02:09:00.660 --> 02:09:06.100 +slam-bam crazy show or if it's just going to be an average show like this one was but anyway + +02:09:06.820 --> 02:09:12.180 +we've got the momentum going again or at least i got it going tonight and so hopefully i can get + +02:09:12.180 --> 02:09:19.540 +some sleep and uh get it going tomorrow again and uh we'll get this this pace up to speed thank you + +02:09:19.540 --> 02:09:35.460 +very much for joining me and i will definitely see you again tomorrow + +02:09:49.540 --> 02:10:16.020 +i have no responsibility for the current pandemic + +02:10:19.540 --> 02:10:20.820 +you + diff --git a/twitch/2045872239 (2024-01-27) - Baric 2007 Synthetic SARS (Study
