US Energy Department assesses Covid-19 likely resulted from lab leak
CNN Feb 26, 2023 #cnnnewsroom #cnn #wuhan
The US Department of Energy has assessed that the Covid-19 pandemic most likely came from a laboratory leak in China, according to a newly updated classified intelligence report. Two sources said that the Department of Energy assessed in the intelligence report that it had “low confidence” the Covid-19 virus accidentally escaped from a lab in Wuhan. Intelligence agencies can make assessments with either low, medium or high confidence. A low confidence assessment generally means that the information obtained is not reliable enough or is too fragmented to make a more definitive analytic judgment or that there is not enough information available to draw a more robust conclusion. The latest assessment further adds to the divide in the US government over whether the Covid-19 pandemic began in China in 2019 as the result of a lab leak or whether it emerged naturally. The various intelligence agencies have been split on the matter for years. In 2021, the intelligence community declassified a report that showed four agencies in the intelligence community had assessed with low confidence that the virus likely jumped from animals to humans naturally in the wild, while one assessed with moderate confidence that the pandemic was the result of a laboratory accident. Three other intelligence community elements were unable to coalesce around either explanation without additional information, the report said. The Wall Street Journal first reported on the new assessment from the Department of Energy. A senior US intelligence official told the Journal that the update to the intelligence assessment was conducted in light of new intelligence, further study of academic literature and in consultation with experts outside government. A Department of Energy spokesperson told CNN in a statement: “The Department of Energy continues to support the thorough, careful, and objective work of our intelligence professionals in investigating the origins of COVID-19, as the President directed.” #cnn #cnnnewsroom #wuhan
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman accused the Energy Department of politicizing a scientific issue by declaring that the pandemic likely originated with a lab leak in China.

Robby Soave: LAB LEAK THEORY Gets MASSIVE BOOST from US Energy Dept, Despite MSM Smearing
The Hill 2/27/2023 #lableak #covid19 #wuhan
Robby Soave weighs in on new revelation that the Energy Department now admits that the Covid-19 pandemic was caused by lab leak in Wuhan, China. #lableak #covid19 #wuhan The FDA has not authorized or approved ivermectin for use in preventing or treating COVID-19 in humans or animals. Ivermectin is approved for human use to treat infections caused by some parasitic worms and head lice and skin conditions like rosacea. Currently available data do not show ivermectin is effective against COVID-19. Clinical trials assessing ivermectin tablets for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 in people are ongoing. Taking large doses of ivermectin is dangerous. If your health care provider writes you an ivermectin prescription, fill it through a legitimate source such as a pharmacy, and take it exactly as prescribed. Never use medications intended for animals on yourself or other people. Animal ivermectin products are very different from those approved for humans. Use of animal ivermectin for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 in humans is dangerous. Source: https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consume...

mRNA in blood after 28 days
Dr. John Campbell Feb 20, 2023
SARS-CoV-2 spike mRNA vaccine sequences circulate in blood up to 28 days after COVID-19 vaccination https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/1... Journal of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology - the APMIS journal Copenhagen University Hospital CONFLICT OF INTEREST Authors have no conflicts of interest to declare. Denmark used Pfizer-BioNTech (BTN162b2) Moderna (mRNA-1273) Both code for production of the full-length SARS-CoV-2 spike protein mRNA is encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles Non replicating The modified nucleotide sequences allow perfect identification of the vaccine sequences Patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection Received mRNA vaccinations To monitor HCV infection, RNA was extracted from patient plasma In 10 of 108 HCV patient samples, full-length or traces of SARS-CoV-2 spike mRNA vaccine sequences were found in blood, up to 28 days after COVID-19 vaccination. Professor Hoiby https://studio.youtube.com/video/hkop... INTRODUCTION Upon intramuscular injection, the vaccine mRNA is taken up by muscle and immune cells, and transported to the regional lymph nodes, and concentrated in the spleen The vaccines consist of nonreplicating mRNA, expected to naturally decompose, both within the cytosol after translation and at the injection site. Half-life of mRNA translation, estimated from hours to a day. Translation is described to span up to 10 days The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) https://www.idsociety.org/covid-19-re... Vaccine mRNA is degraded quickly, by normal intracellular processes, there is no evidence for long-term detection of mRNA vaccines Method used in Denmark Genotyping whole RNA genome sequencing NCH and SARS-CoV-2 mRNA, directly from plasma samples We describe the unexpected finding of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine mRNA sequences Five consecutive sequencing runs (May 2021 to the end of June 2021) Five negative controls and five HCV-positive controls RESULTS Both mRNA vaccine sequences have been modified and are only ~70% identical to the spike reference genome on a nucleotide level, making them distinct from circulating infectious SARS-CoV-2 sequences. Of the 108 patient samples, 10 samples (9.3%) had partial or up to full sequences of the vaccine mRNA sequence DISCUSSION Analysis of mRNA vaccine function has focused on the immune response, and on protection of vaccinated individuals The LNPs have been reported to be rapidly cleared by immune cells, and mRNA rapidly degraded We expect that vaccine mRNA detected in plasma is contained within LNPs To our knowledge, our study is the first to detect Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccine sequences in blood after vaccination, and therefore provides new knowledge regarding the timeframe in which the mRNA can be detected. A future prospective study to establish the half-life of mRNA vaccines in vaccine recipients could be performed (using mRNA vaccine-specific PCRs)
