      Antivaxxers really need to get their #coronavirus conspiracy theories straight. Yesterday, they were blaming the flu vaccine for reducing viral interference and allowing 2019-nCoV to run wild in China. 1/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/01/30/coronavirus-flu-vaccine/ …

      Today, an antivaxxer is claiming that 2019-nCoV came from a strain being used to develop a vaccine against #coronavirus that somehow got loose. I wonder what @StevenSalzberg1 thinks of this one? 🙄 2/ https://jameslyonsweiler.com/2020/01/30/on-the-origins-of-the-2019-ncov-virus-wuhan-china/ …

      He has quite a bit of technical detail (phylogenies and sequence alignments) in that blog post, but ultimately his argument is very weak and rather implausible. Seems more like a conspiracy theory. Far more plausible is that it's a natural virus that jumped from animals to humans

      Personally, I like how he implies that the "insert" comes from a Chinese pShuttle containing the SARS S protein sequence, when in fact he's lined up sequences from the commercial pShuttle vector with no insert. It's odd that there's 68% identity, but it's not coding sequence.🙄

      In any case, I'm not a super expert on this sort of thing, but I do know enough, if you know what I mean.😉https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/01/31/2019-ncov-wuhan-outbreakdue-to-failed-coronavirus-vaccine/ …

      The pshuttle alignment is a bit weak. Not certain why this person gets flagged as an Anti-vaxxer though. It’s important we look for the source given the history of human experimentation in China. If you had pitchforks for He and think this is a conspiracy, you aren’t consistent.

      I flagged him as an antivaxxer because he is an antivaxxer. https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/12/20/demonizing-aluminum-adjuvants/ …

          Don’t know him...but a quick glance at his work suggests he’s just looking for vaccines to embrace personalized medicine. Eureka. I don’t think I know anyone that is anti-antibiotics. No one would classify all antibiotics as being good or bad.. step into the vax debate..tribalism

          Oh, please. Lyons-Weiler has been promoting antivaccine pseudoscience for the last few years. He's done everything he can to deny that autism is genetic, for instance.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/07/29/autism-is-genetic/ …
