pro forma header above, things like

"Please check your assumptions at the door" ;-), but fear that it would be misunderstood. More than one song from the days of your includes an admonition to "check your razors at the door", which is the inspiration from which the above idea sprung, but in this case I would suggest that we all carry Occam's razor at the ready. It is a characteristic of all universes in which there is a scarcity of verities, certain data, and total information, that unidentified assumptions pop up to fill in thee gaps. This is unavoidable, but it behooves each of us to be aware of them.

that showed that there was a very high probability that SARS-C0V-2 is a man-made pathogen.

You can review it here:

Nothing about the "novel" coronavirus is new:
Submitted by CB on Thu, 07/15/2021

"So SARS-CoV-2 is indeed man-made, along with the entire infrastructure of 'testing for cases' and 'vaccines to fix the problem' - concocted by unscrupulous predators who thought nothing of terrorizing the whole world in order to profit from the crisis they made and to control people's lives down to their thoughts and daily behaviors."

New evidence coming to light:

Moderna Patented Key COVID Spike Protein Sequence in 2016
March 07, 2022

Story at-a-glance

  • A study published February 21, 2022, in Frontiers in Virology claims to have discovered that a sequence of the virus’ spike protein is a 100% match to a modified messenger RNA (mmRNA) sequence patented by Moderna in 2016
  • The genetic sequence patented by Moderna is part of a human DNA repair gene called MSH3. This patented sequence is found in SARS-CoV-2’s furin cleavage site in the spike protein — the part that gives the virus such easy access into human cells
  • According to Moderna’s patent application, the gene sequence was modified “for the production of oncology-related proteins and peptides,” ostensibly for use in cancer research
  • According to the researchers, the chance that SARS-CoV-2 would have randomly acquired this furin cleavage site through natural evolution is 1 in 3 trillion
  • In a February 24, 2022, interview, Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel proposed the COVID-19 pandemic may have been the result of a lab leak

It was written in January but I saw the photos in it a few years ago in one of the many articles I was reading. IIRC there is a huge lab in Iraq that we built after our invasion and during Obama’s tenure. We have labs like this in so many countries I doubt anyone even knows how many we have.

Nice…

...Arms Watch. Dilyana Gaytandzhieva is an amazing investigator. She has so much information and documentation about these US-owned horror-movie bio-labs just beyond Russia's borders.

I think people are now more conversant about the type of research and experimentation that is done there. She's way ahead of the pack.

that have a furin cleavage site on their envelope - HIV, influenza, dengue fever, ebola and marburg virus as well as the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 for them to become fully functional and enter a cell. The original SARS-CoV did not have this site which made it less infectious. The closest genetic backbone to SARS-CoV-2 is a bat virus which does not have this cleavage site. Researchers have thus far found no intermediate hosts in the wild.

But we now have a patent issued for the very genetic sequence of this cleavage site.

At least I don't recall doing so.

How do you suppose Americas's White Tail deer herd throughout the US spread the SARS-CoV-2 virus before people became sick with it? Any thoughts on that?

They collected blood samples from the national white tail herd pre and post pandemic. Scientists go back in to test thousands of samples for antibodies, finds out they were infected with Covid-19 as early as January 2020.

You should be able to Google it. The news appeared in a couple of science magazines, including Nature.

Here's an article from Smithsonian:

There are also records at the USDA.

the article in virology says that a the furin cleavage sequence is identical to a "reverse match" to the patented sequence, meaning it is a mirror or backwards copy.

Also, the probability info is of limited relevance without computations of the same probabilities for the full furin cleavage sites of all of the other viruses that have them.

The article calls for further study, and I agree,, it is definitely weird, but clarity requires that I point out that the match is reversed:

A BLAST search for the 12-nucleotide insertion led us to a 100% reverse match in a proprietary sequence (SEQ ID11652, nt 2751-2733) found in the US patent 9,587,003 filed on Feb. 4, 2016 (10) (Figure 1). Examination of SEQ ID11652 revealed that the match extends beyond the 12-nucleotide insertion to a 19-nucleotide sequence: 5′-CTACGTGCCCGCCGAGGAG-3′ (nt 2733-2751 of SEQ ID11652), such that the resulting mRNA would have 3′- GAUGCACGGGCGGCUCCUC-5′, or equivalently 5′- CU CCU CGG CGG GCA CGU AG-3′ (nucleotides 23547-23565 in the SARS-CoV-2 genome, in which the four bold codons yield PRRA, amino acids 681–684 of its spike protein). This is very rare in the NCBI BLAST database.

...

The correlation between this SARS-CoV-2 sequence and the reverse complement of a proprietary mRNA sequence is of uncertain origin. Conventional biostatistical analysis indicates that the probability of this sequence randomly being present in a 30,000-nucleotide viral genome is 3.21 ×10−11 (Figure 2).

[The presence of any specific 19 nucleotide sequence in any specific 30,000 nucleotide genome is likely to be blindingly remote simply because of the numbers involved.]

quotes from: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fviro.2022.834808/full ---
MSH3 Homology and Potential Recombination Link to SARS-CoV-2 Furin Cleavage Site

Not saying the findings aren't extremely supportive of lab leak or similar hypotheses, merely that the summary in the mercola article misrepresents the actual findings, it is not a 100% match, and that the relevance of the probability date without some comparables is questionable.

There continues to be a total lack of balance in the "conversation" on The Dose regarding "all things Covid". The awareness you seek left the station a long time ago along with those who had hoped to be part of that "gentle" conversation and provide information to counter all those "unidentifed assumptions".

Maybe in another universe......

we are supposed to accept this kind of suppository of *unidentified assumptions*
being somehow supportive of your train of logic? Get real. There are certain known
fabrics in this argument, which some choose to see, without being denigrated by
others who, for whatever reason, choose to ignore. I recommend you try to open
your mind to others that are trying to understand this quandary. Without negative
connotations. We can argue acceptance of facts, but denying others the right to
question is absurd. Your argument is lost.

@QMS

He is the one who brought it up. My observations about the months of discourse on The Dose are valid. Have you noticed how many times people have just thrown up their hands and walked out because their posts question the gish gallop of "information" on here? Any comment outside the narrative that Covid vaccines are killing us all or Ivermectin is a good treatment gets bombarded with replies that let the commenter know this is not a discussion. Just who is denying others the right to question?

that it does work.

Ivermectin is a good treatment gets bombarded with replies that let the commenter know this is not a discussion. Just who is denying others the right to question?

There are over 70 peer reviewed studies now that shows that it is effective if given early in the process. The most recent study that said it doesn’t work was because they waited too long to give it. But the anti ivermectin folks jumped all over it and told us that we have been wrong all along. But they fled instead of debating the many studies. Strange. I would think people would be happy to find something that could keep them above ground, but sadly they aren’t.

As for asking you it’s probably because of what you wrote.

Watch this video

https://www.bitchute.com/video/xAhg4fdJVu8b/

A guy who originally sang its praises and was going to tell the world that it indeed did work and could save lives went back on his studies after getting money from the Gates foundation. He’s on video talking about his betrayal and knowing that it would cost thousands of lives. Or don’t watch it and continue to believe it doesn’t work because of fraudulent studies. It’s up to you to decide what you want to believe. This is a smoking gun showing that ivermectin was killed so by governments big pharma could push the mRNA shots and now their horrible anti virals that don’t work. It’s why the anti ivermectin comments are met with so much disdain. The truth is there for people with open minds to see.

It starts about 1/2 way through the video. Many people have posted the information in previous doses. Maybe you just missed them?

@snoopydawg
written by the science staff because all NYT articles apparently should be shunned completely now.
Yet, nothing is said when you or others post videos from "Bitchute". Have you really investigated Bitchute? I have. Bitchute was analyzed for its content and a report was written and posted on a Cornell University sponsored website. Here...https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.01984. The ADL did an analysis of the content of Bitchute and wrote this....https://www.adl.org/blog/bitchute-a-hotbed-of-hate. And here is the Wikipedia written history of the owner of this site, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitChute There is at least enough of this that if read, should give someone pause about using it as a source.

For months I have watched people, who maybe in all good faith, made their arguments for Ivermectin and a whole host of other things based on sites like these. And almost every time, I followed up, I found these types of sites to be either up front or behind the scenes purveyors of propaganda and false information. I tried to being this up and warn people here about them, but the push back was so strong it was a useless waste of my time. Plus, any negative reviews of Ivermectin that I tried to share were immediately dismissed, and sometimes with not so hidden hostility.

In fact, I just recently saw an article written by a doctor on staff in a hospital who observed many people who took Ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine at home landing in the hospital ER with more advanced cases of Covid because they waited too long to get help.

I take many supplements to avoid pharmaceuticals, and I have done so for years. That has trained me to be very thorough in making healthy choices. I put Ivermectin on my research list and found far more negatives than positives about it, and way too many possible side effects. You keep saying that I am just stubbornly ignoring some kind of truth about Ivermectin instead of "keeping an open mind". An open mind to you is one who just accepts your take on things, including all the conspiracy stuff.
We can go around and around on this. I don't care what you post on Ivermectin or anything else or if you take the stuff. What I used to care about here and on other sites is being able to post what I have found without being subjected to bombardment of long badly sourced "information" posts and talked about in comment threads as if I'm not in the room.

I used to really enjoy your political commentary and actually agreed with much of what you wrote.

For every scientist and peer reviewed study, there are experts and peer reviewed studies that say something different, and often say the opposite.
