@WvSchaik No. I refuse.

@nevin_simon @shereenmoloney1 @bramernic Tell me you have no idea what you're talking about wit hout telling me you have no idea what you're talking about..

@SwaledaleMutton @BreezerGalway @LaymansScience He's obviously wildly wrong. But even if he wasn't, that would only be ~7,000 fewer susceptible hosts (assuming they're still alive). And one hell of away to acquire immunity to SARS-CoV-2...

@SwaledaleMutton @ScepticalAussie For all the predictions they make, this really is in it's infancy.

Couldn't find this one, but I'm guessing it'll be similar to their DENV one:

@andrew_croxford Just thinking, hypothetically could you have tested for anti-spike IgG shortly after you first dose, earlier than you'd expect class switching to occur? Not sure if there's an IgM/IgG ratio to distinguish primary/secondary exposure for COVID

[Endoviro @Endoviro1]

@SmallRedOne Yeah, a variant only has to be better than the other progeny of that cell and/or just luckier.

I do wonder whether there is reduced tolerance in Delta to further AA substitutions because of loss of receptor avidity though. Wouldn't like to bet on it

@FraiseAdam @primeoflife2 Happens to us all

@livelovenofear @TakethatCt *+ssRNA

[Endoviro @Endoviro1]

@livelovenofear @TakethatCt Incorrect (see below).

SARS-CoV-2's genome is ssRNA (for all all intensive purposes mRNA). It does not only encode the spike protein, and it replicates.

The vaccines are incredibly safe.

[Endoviro @Endoviro1]

@FraiseAdam At least there's no contamination, and good colony isolation

@WrongAgainIvor @macroliter Jesus Christ...

I'd like to know if he thinks the cell walls we don't have are made of cellulose or peptidoglycan

[Endoviro @Endoviro1]

@macroliter Cell....walls?

[Endoviro @Endoviro1]

@TakethatCt @toadmeister S.typhi is a small price to pay for my freedom

[Endoviro @Endoviro1]

@InCytometry If we did that even as undergrads we would be read the riot act

@SwaledaleMutton Wasn't a total loss, I did learn how to sex spiders

[Endoviro @Endoviro1]

@SwaledaleMutton Wish I'd known about this instead of endlessly trawling through old entomology books looking for something that vaguely looked like what I could see under the microscope.

Though I suspect they would've eventually politely asked me to please stop asking them what insect this is

[Endoviro @Endoviro1]

@Prokaryota Sue da moan ass....I'm not sorry.

@InCytometry The discovery of prions was also awarded a nobel. Have they considered prions as a potential treatment? After all, they won a nobel prize, that's how much they rate prions.
