When will this nation have the collective consciousness to recognize “ignorance” when it is IN THEIR FACE⁉️ Are we really that “poorly educated”❓

- To edit a virus in a lab, scientists need an existing "parent" virus to use as a starting template. The closest virus known before the pandemic was still decades of evolutionary divergence away from COVID-19. (Data from NIH) 🧵

RFK Jr: "The RSV epidemic came from GoF research." This is blatantly false. - RSV was discovered in chimpanzees in 1955, and later recognized as causing respiratory illness in human infants in 1956. - GoF research wasn't developed till the 1970s. (Data from CDC) 🧵

RFK Jr: "Lyme disease almost certainly came from GoF research." Historically false. - Genetic sequencing of Ötzi, a naturally preserved mummy from 3300 BCE, revealed he was infected with Borrelia burgdorferi—the exact bacterium that causes Lyme disease. 🧵

- Scientists found Borrelia burgdorferi DNA in preserved ticks and mice collected in New England between 1870 and 1919. 🧵 (Data from CDC)

I’d rather have a pandemic behind me instead of this maniac in front of me.

The biggest problem wasn't the origin--it was how long China refused to let the world know what was happening.

Doesn’t help that Trump in 2018 or 2019 (I forget) pulled our scientists in Wuhan there to specifically monitor for “escaping viruses”

The scientists don’t agree with the junkie. Who to believe!?! 🤔 Not the junkie, is what I’m saying here.
