Who's Making the Variants?
Steyn On-Line ^ | August 29, 2023 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 08/29/2023 1:32:14 PM PDT by Twotone

On the one hand, mask mandates are back. On the other hand, the Associated Press says that's all a conspiracy theory. On the other other hand, Covid hospitalizations are up - and there's a scary new variant from... (hurls dart at map of the world) Denmark and... (hurls second dart, backward over shoulder) Israel. On the other other other hand, that eighth shot is sure to work:

snip

I take it most of the above is just prepping the battlefield for next year's presidential election. But, as you know, I am more interested in the news that doesn't make the news. Which is why this Norman Fenton tweet caught my eye. Many of you will have seen Professor Fenton on The Mark Steyn Show, and some of you will have met him on last month's Mark Steyn Cruise. So I followed the links through to a research paper by two Japanese fellows - Atsushi Tanaka of Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University and Takayuki Miyazawa of Kyoto University.

I don't know these guys. Could be they're just another wing of that big conspiracy theory the AP is banging on about. Professor Tanaka has published peer-reviewed papers on the Significance of N-Sulfation of Heparan Sulfate as a Host Cell Factor for Chikungunya Virus Infection, and Professor Miyazawa has done likewise in prestigious journals on the Emergence of Infectious Malignant Thrombocytopenia in Japanese Macaques (Macaca fuscata) by SRV-4. So, if they are mere conspiracy theorists, they've constructed a pretty elaborate cover.

Professors Tanaka and Miyazawa's new paper is called:

Unnaturalness in the evolution process of the SARS-CoV-2 variants and the possibility of deliberate natural selection

What does that mean? Well, everyone except the brain-dead and the more aggressive interns of Ofcom's fact-checkers now accepts that the Covid came from a lab leak.

Wow. That’s all I can say. We spend billions on intelligence agencies and two Japanese scientists can lay bare a problem that (ostensibly) stumps our experts. This should get the broadest dissemination possible.

2 SECRET Chinese Bio-Labs were found in Calif: Fresno & Reedley.

NEWSOM gave them grant $$$$ and other privileges.

Paying for our own destruction and Newsom is handing the $$$$ over.
