| Brainstorm | New from Eric Topol on Mastodon: (news): The BA.2.86 variant differs markedly from XBB.1.5, the target of the "new" booster, and EG.5, the major current circulating variant that is an XBB derivative. From this genome map of the spike, you can readily see the differences at >30 positions! → https://mstdn.social/@erictopol/110941511587519285 | 01:35 |
|---|---|---|
| LjL | yeah well too bad we don't have enough time to scrap out XBB vaccine plans and make new ones for BA.2.86 in time for the spike :( | 01:54 |

| Vyrus | dammit, AJ Leonardi blocked me for asking him questions with challenging opinions | 11:59 |
| Vyrus | just like topol | 11:59 |
| Vyrus | I'm so done with how cowardly these people are, I politely try to begin a discussion around their findings, and they drop the ball at the first sign of a discussion | 12:00 |
| Vyrus | scientific theory has been DESTROYED by these people | 12:00 |
| Vyrus | all they care about is creating an echo chamber and fearporn | 12:01 |
| Vyrus | as soon as twitter removes the block feature we should surround these people with infinite attention | 12:02 |
| Vyrus | it's extremely suspicious - their attitude | 12:02 |
| undefined_bob | thats pretty rude, Vyrus | 12:03 |
| Vyrus | which part ? I'm trying to be helpful - the people on twitter seem to like my posts, and I was very very polite - hoping for a nice discussion | 12:04 |
| Vyrus | being cut off is a little rude, don't you think | 12:04 |
| undefined_bob | if people on twitter like your posts, its most likely some conspiracy bullshit. And thats why the science people blocked you | 12:04 |
| undefined_bob | there is no need to discuss with people who tries to spread bullshit | 12:05 |
| Vyrus | well if you asked about the content, it wasn't conspiracy at all | 12:05 |
| Vyrus | I simply asked about his claims around epigenetics | 12:05 |
| Vyrus | whether it remained after 12 months | 12:05 |
| Vyrus | is this conspiracy bullshit ? | 12:05 |
| undefined_bob | people on twitter usually dont like scientific sound things | 12:05 |
| Vyrus | he seems to think covid's effects remain indefinitely, or its what he implies. I just said, according to the paper (I linked here earlier), it may not be correct | 12:06 |
| Vyrus | and BAM | 12:06 |
| Vyrus | that's all there was to it, seriously | 12:06 |
| Vyrus | [22:01:30] <undefined_bob> I like the sentence with the tin foil hat the most | 12:07 |
| Vyrus | in those discussions, paper suggests it is not clear | 12:07 |
| Vyrus | we do not know whether it's doom and boom | 12:08 |
| Vyrus | this is what I was asking...... | 12:08 |
| Vyrus | those effects, partially remaining for 2-12 months is also concerning, but their persistence beyond 12 months is not confirmed either. | 12:10 |
| Vyrus | That was the question and the statement that got me blocked | 12:10 |
| Vyrus | it might also be because I also said stop spreading fear, before I said that lol | 12:11 |
| undefined_bob | afaik people with long covid do experience effects longer than 12 month and that is pretty much confirmed | 12:11 |
| undefined_bob | yeah because they dont spread fear | 12:11 |
| Vyrus | they're inspiring caution lets say | 12:11 |
| Vyrus | ok | 12:12 |
| undefined_bob | basically they are just only sharing their scientific work? | 12:14 |
