Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[Buffle Dag]

Here's your surprise for today:
Fauci changes the definition of 'fully vaccinated' to include booster shots

In an exclusive interview with The Atlantic, Joe Biden's chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci revealed that COVID-19 booster shots don't keep people alive but can allegedly prevent severe effects from the virus.

According to Dr. Fauci, booster shots add crucial temporary protection against the virus and will become a standard regimen in the future. "It is likely, for a real complete regimen, that you would need at least a third dose," Fauci said.

 

[SneedEyeMitch]

It's official, no one is now "fully vaccinated", you damn dirty animals.

I'd agree with that. I have zero knowledge in the medical field, but I literally wrote my masters thesis on graphene and quantum dots and all that stuff. I know graphene and condensed matter physics quite intimately, and I tried explaining to him that he's very likely barking up the wrong tree here, but as it often happens with autists, it's hard getting through the fixation. Kinda sad to see the more outlandish theories ending up in the document because it takes away from the real content.
And it made me less trusting of the other content. If he can confidently butcher physics and only one with an actual degree and specialisation in that part would notice, how butchered is the rest and I'd never know?

Years ago, a friend of mine was a PhD and used to work with Cadmium Selenide quantum dots in liquid crystal, trying to align them and get plasmonic effects between them. It was a failed effort and his research came to nothing.

When I suggested to him the possibility of doping nanoparticles with peptides and making them self-assemble in any conceivable grid, he got kinda pissed off. He had no idea what I was talking about.

First off, bionanotechnology is not the same thing as nanotechnology. People like Charles Lieber are multi-disciplinarians. They are nanotech experts, chemists, and biologists in one. They are taking materials from nanotech and incorporating aspects of biology (electrostatic and hydrophilic-hydrophobic arrangements of materials), and blending them together to make self-assembling structures. In the future, they will use synthetic biology (i.e. proteins not found in nature) to do all this and more.

Imagine if you could deliver a gene into someone that codes for a metalloprotein that sequesters metal ions in the body to build antennas out of nothing. Think about it. Cells and proteins "print" you, a human, as you eat and grow to maturity. What happens when we figure out how to control those printers ourselves?

Secondly, there are numerous ironclad sources that point to the possibility of nanoparticles being used in such a way. Observe.

There's Charles Lieber's own papers, of course:

And then, there's DARPA's BRAIN Initiative and the N3 program, which stands for Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology:

https://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2019-05-20

The N3 teams are pursuing a range of approaches that use optics, acoustics, and electromagnetics to record neural activity and/or send signals back to the brain at high speed and resolution. The research is split between two tracks. Teams are pursuing either completely noninvasive interfaces that are entirely external to the body or minutely invasive interface systems that include nanotransducers that can be temporarily and nonsurgically delivered to the brain to improve signal resolution.

• The Battelle team, under principal investigator Dr. Gaurav Sharma, aims to develop a minutely invasive interface system that pairs an external transceiver with electromagnetic nanotransducers that are nonsurgically delivered to neurons of interest. The nanotransducers would convert electrical signals from the neurons into magnetic signals that can be recorded and processed by the external transceiver, and vice versa, to enable bidirectional communication.
• The Carnegie Mellon University team, under principal investigator Dr. Pulkit Grover, aims to develop a completely noninvasive device that uses an acousto-optical approach to record from the brain and interfering electrical fields to write to specific neurons. The team will use ultrasound waves to guide light into and out of the brain to detect neural activity. The team’s write approach exploits the non-linear response of neurons to electric fields to enable localized stimulation of specific cell types.
• The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory team, under principal investigator Dr. David Blodgett, aims to develop a completely noninvasive, coherent optical system for recording from the brain. The system will directly measure optical path-length changes in neural tissue that correlate with neural activity.
• The PARC team, under principal investigator Dr. Krishnan Thyagarajan, aims to develop a completely noninvasive acousto-magnetic device for writing to the brain. Their approach pairs ultrasound waves with magnetic fields to generate localized electric currents for neuromodulation. The hybrid approach offers the potential for localized neuromodulation deeper in the brain.
• The Rice University team, under principal investigator Dr. Jacob Robinson, aims to develop a minutely invasive, bidirectional system for recording from and writing to the brain. For the recording function, the interface will use diffuse optical tomography to infer neural activity by measuring light scattering in neural tissue. To enable the write function, the team will use a magneto-genetic approach to make neurons sensitive to magnetic fields.
• The Teledyne team, under principal investigator Dr. Patrick Connolly, aims to develop a completely noninvasive, integrated device that uses micro optically pumped magnetometers to detect small, localized magnetic fields that correlate with neural activity. The team will use focused ultrasound for writing to neurons.

Okay, so there are six teams pursuing the N3 project. Battelle, CMU, Johns Hopkins, PARC, Rice, and Teledyne.

Huh, Teledyne is kind of odd. I'm a milsperg and know my defense contractors in and out (Teledyne made the shitty turret on the Stryker MGS, ripped off the old, canceled Expeditionary Tank), and I never knew Teledyne even had a neuroscience division.

It looks like Battelle's team was one of the most successful. They were even awarded a $20 million dollar contract. Let's see their files, shall we?

Battelle Neuro Team Advances to Phase II of DARPA N3 Program| Battelle Press Release

A Battelle team of researchers has received funding to continue work on the second of a three-phase DARPA program called Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology (N3).

www.battelle.org

Battelle and its project partners from Cellular Nanomed Inc., the University of Miami, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Carnegie Mellon University, and the Air Force Research Laboratory are working on an interface called BrainSTORMS (Brain System to Transmit Or Receive Magnetoelectric Signals). It employs magnetoelectric nanotransducers (MEnTs) localized in neural tissue for BCI applications. One of the key MEnT attributes are their incredibly small size—thousands of MEnTs can fit across the width of a human hair. The MEnTs are first injected into the circulatory system and then guided with a magnet to the targeted area of the brain. “Our current data suggests that we can non-surgically introduce MEnTs into the brain for subsequent bi-directional neural interfacing,” said Patrick Ganzer, a Battelle researcher and the principal investigator on the project.

Hmm, let's look a bit closer. I'm gonna Google "MEnTs" and "BrainSTORMS".

Wow. There's surprisingly little. Where are the papers? I'm guessing it's all confidential and proprietary.

Magnetism Plays Key Roles in DARPA Research to Develop Brain-Machine Interface without Surgery - Magnetics Magazine

magneticsmag.com

In the BrainSTORMS approach, however, the nanotransducer could be temporarily introduced into the body via injection and then directed to a specific area of the brain to help complete a task through communication with a helmet-based transceiver. Upon completion, the nanotransducer could be magnetically guided out of the brain and into the bloodstream to be processed out of the body.

The nanotransducer would use magnetoelectric nanoparticles to establish a bi-directional communication channel with the brain. Neurons in the brain operate through electrical signals. The magnetic core of the nanotransducers would convert the neural electrical signals into magnetic ones that would be sent through the skull to the helmet-based transceiver worn by the user. The helmet transceiver could also send magnetic signals back to the nanotransducers where they would be converted to electrical impulses capable of being processed by the neurons, enabling two-way communication to and from the brain.

Apparently, these nano-devices need a helmet that delivers a signal to the MEnTs implanted in the brain. Not via RF, mind you, but electromagnetism, with a grid of coils, presumably integrated on a flexible circuit of some type. Also, it was designed with reversibility in mind; they can be removed when they're no longer needed.

Gaurav Sharma’s work has helped a paralyzed patient regain control of his hand and enabled delivery of drugs across the blood-brain barrier. As the Lead Investigator and Senior Research Scientist on the Battelle Medical Devices and Neuromodulation team, he is applying advanced engineering to overcome problems in the human body and brain.

Since joining Battelle in 2011, Gaurav has served as the technical lead or lead investigator on a number of cutting-edge projects involving peripheral nerve stimulation, spinal cord stimulation and brain-computer interfaces. He was also the lead investigator for the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) engineering program, a Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA)-funded project aimed at developing nanotechnology-based strategies for delivery of drugs to the brain.

Huh. That's interesting. The same DTRA that poured millions of dollars into Peter Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance.

Early Successes of DTRA’s Blood-Brain Barrier Program Suggest New Countermeasures

Fort Belvoir, Va. One of the challenges in developing medical countermeasures for chemical and biological warfare agents is addressing the effects on the central nervous system (CNS).
Over the past year, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s Joint Science and Technology Office reinvigorated its lead role in addressing this challenge. They did this by standing up the fundamental research program, Understanding of the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) in Threat Environments, under science and technology manager Dr. Brian Pate.

The program aims to understand the effects of nerve agents and alphaviruses on the blood-brain barrier and find new transport pathways to deliver appropriate therapeutics into the CNS. The early successes of JSTO’s program allows researchers to better assess the risks of emerging threats while enhancing their ability to protect and treat warfighters from a broad range of chemical and biological threats.

Dr. Pate facilitated a discussion of the program and its early successes during the 2nd Annual Blood-Brain Barrier Conference of the World Preclinical Congress, generating significant interest from attendees.

DTRA’s program leverages several approaches to accomplish its goal. One approach centers around the development of correlated in silico, in vitro and in vivo models of the BBB, including in vitro models derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells incorporating three-dimensional architectures and soft electronic materials. These enable improved recapitulation of the human BBB as well as real-time tracking of transport phenomena. The Naval Research Laboratory, Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Michigan and the University of Wisconsin are conducting this research as part of DTRA’s Understanding of the BBB in Threat Environments program.

Fuck me! I've fallen into a fucking Clancy novel!

You know that if they're studying how viruses affect the BBB, that means they're looking for proteins and peptides that can cross it, right?

Well, uh...

Also, there's this. Presentation on the inflammatory properties of graphene:

So, anyway, if my intel is coming from the statements of experts in this field, then what did I butcher, exactly?

You were also wrong about the Radia Smart RF-blocking clothes, by the way. Out of curiosity, I bought a couple articles and tested them personally. Like any proper schizo, I happen to be the proud owner of a LATNEX HF-B3G meter that detects RF. First, I gathered a reading from my Wi-Fi router on the desk behind me. About 600 to 700 mW/m2 right next to the router (oof, I'm frying myself; it's a monster three-antenna D-Link). I put a hand towel between the head of the unit and the router, and the signal did not change. Then, I put one of those Radia Smart hoods lined in Faraday Fabric over it. It dropped to like 3 to 6 mW/m2. They really fucking work.

[Salubrious]

My agency just got a new HR director, as the old one retired, this new guy comes in and five days later they are pushing the vaccine.

Doesn't sound like the old one retired as much as he was allowed to "leave with dignity" so the new guy could come in.

Also, as an aside, I think the reason why CNBC published a 17 minute video on microchips is partly due to one of the symptoms of narcissism. For a narcissist, if you tell them why you object to something, and the narcissist has already decided that the reason isn't true, the narcissist then believes that you are lying to them and that it isn't the "real" reason. So a lot of these "experts", they already "know" that the vaccine works, so therefore anyone that says that they don't want the vaccine because it doesn't work is not just wrong, but lying. So the experts need to find the "real" reason why people are vaccine hesitant because they already know that the reason people give of not thinking it will work is wrong, so therefore the anti-vaxx people don't actually believe that the reason they are giving themselves.

Does that make sense the way I worded it? The experts presume we are lying because they've already determined that the reason we give has been "debunked."

How else are they going to say that the unvaccinated are filling up the hospitals?

Welp, my HR lady (whose about as useful as tits on a bull) got her booster and is now violently ill.

Job is still doing the honor system thing they've had in place for months (you don't have to where a mask if you're fully vaxxed but we aren't going to ask you for your papers and we STRONGLY advise you do so anyway) and the covid messages that have been a screensaver since the lockdowns first started have gone away. Work has more or less gone back to how it was in 2019 (with the exception of the occasional part timer having a panic attack over potentially being exposed to covid but prior to 2020, my facility was a petri dish of just about everything and probably still is).

 

[Mr Bunny]

How else are they going to say that the unvaccinated are filling up the hospitals?

Well unless you get a booster then you're unvaccinated. Checkmate you hairless apes.

 

[SCSI]

<snip>

I actually agree. This is way trickier than it sounds.

If you’re using a neuralnanorobot that can discriminate between and decode different signals selectively, do processing on its own (digital-to-analog signal processing and vice versa) and identify its own position in the brain, the transceiver can be relatively simple. However, the tech to do that doesn’t really exist, and if it did, the nanomachines themselves would be prohibitively expensive to make at such large scales.

If you’re using a bulk conductive material in the tissue instead, then it’s simple and easy to make the material, however, getting it into the brain tissue in a consistent and evenly distributed manner is a difficult proposition. Also, all the processing and localization of effects would have to be done by the transceiver array itself. If we assume the source is a 5G phased array base station, then we are talking about a level of beamforming precision that is previously unheard-of. Millimeters, on a moving target. Very hard. Not to mention, lots of water molecules in the way, attenuating the signal. It’s not as easy as it sounds on paper.

Doing something like this would have required extensive human testing beforehand, likely on a large cross-section of unwilling people. Can anyone think of any countries where they have concentration camps with lots of readily-accessible test subjects in them?

(Devil's Advocate doesn't have quite the right ring here... Let's call my game Occam's Advocate -- arguing the simple, boring position.)

Spoiler: Occam's Advocate ON

Awright, so you've got a supervillain (Xinnie The Pooh and his megacorp friends), and you've got a nice big fat population of very expendable lab rats who can't say no, although I'd like to point out if we're mainly talking about the Uighyurs, those concentration camps were only spun up around 2017, giving Xinnie only 2 years of mass human testing before the Beijing Blues rolls out in 2019 -- a *very* optimistic timeline for the amount of testing something like this would conceivably need. But you've still got the problem of skulls, blood, and brains getting in the way of your 5G mind control rays trying to trigger the NanoSoma embedded in the brains of your victims, and since you can't slap a transmitter straight against their heads (although I'd love to watch a glowie try to come up with an excuse for why he's molesting your brainpan with a tricorder), this requires an even more baroque possible solution, as you've proposed. Let's check that out.

Millimeter precision beam-forming 5G at range from I presume cell towers. I'll skip the scenarios like Times Squre on a busy day where we're talking about this device somehow tracking, targeting, and doing all the compute it needs for a crowd of hundreds, and doing it without needing half of Microsoft Azure's compute farm crammed into a cell tower. Let's assume a scenario where the transmitter's trying to target a single person.

If we're going with the most-plausible option, that the target is enriched with dumb, bulk conductive material, how does the transmitter target the hypothetical 1mm patch it needs to? The material can't tell the transmitter once pinged where it is, it's got no encoded data within it. It's just graphene or the like. As far as the transmitter can tell, it's got 1000 particles all yelling back at it named "Gary", and it can't tell which "Gary" is glommed onto the tissue it wants. So they can't copy the basic idea of how Valve achieves sub-millimeter precision tracking with Lighthouse-compatible VR headsets (all the sensors on that equipment have unique names, essentially, which is critical for figuring out what is where in relation to the rest), which is the simplest option.

This means the transmitter has to ID where to target via some other method, and the method has to be capable of recognizing its looking at a human at all in the first place. LIDAR like what Boston Dynamics uses for Spot and Atlas will tell you *something* is there, but it won't give you the level of precise detail this concept needs. The only thing that really fits the bill is... machine vision. The thing that Google has been trying to train for a decade with their shitty Captchas and it still sucks at telling a fire hydrant from a bus. The thing that just fucked up *again* and Elon Musk is going to have to talk his way out of a bunch of cops getting pasted by another Tesla.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we can rule vision out -- it'd be more likely to intensively 5G some dog's nuts than actually hit the conductor particles embedded in a guy's head as he walks by 50 feet away. And even if this somehow existed, we're right back into "far too expensive to actually deploy", given how 5G towers have to be positively spammed across the landscape compared to oldschool 800hz cellphone transmissions that were AT&T's key to dominating coverage breadth on the cheap back in the day.

So... how are they going to make the NanoSoma in the vaxcattle's heads do anything? Especially when it's still cheaper and simpler to just slip a bunch of lithium in the water supply to keep people calm as Hindu cows, if the goal is chilling everyone out so they're cool with living in the pod eating their Roachie-Os -- which would logically make it a lot more appealing of a solution than something as exotic as SomaVax.

 

[Uncle Ted's Cabin]

Went back and took a look, it's exactly what I thought it would be.

Something something "this is too long so it's a Gish Gallop", something something "The author says aerosolized viruses spread in ways that masks and social distooncing don't do anything to prevent, but he also says it's less deadly because it doesn't become a 'case' unless someone reports symptoms???? These appear to be contradictory statements (if you're an idiot like this deboonker) so Spartacus is just craaaaazy" something something "Fuck documented paper trails, claiming that Fauci funded Wuhan is cuh-raaaaaaaazy."

DEBOONKED!

Uh oh, people are noticing. How long before the references in the letter start to 404?

It's official, no one is now "fully vaccinated", you damn dirty animals.

Cue to Nelson Muntz saying "Ha ha".

 

[Salubrious]

Well unless you get a booster then you're unvaccinated. Checkmate you hairless apes.

They'll never outright say that. They'll say the opposite is true and then use "the implications."

For example, if you get the SECOND booster in Israel, you will be considered vaccinated for six months.

So they'll never say outright that people are unvaccinated because their vaccines "expired". They'll just say the inverse of that and then claim that people like us are conspiracy theorists.

Lawyer argues Gov. Hochul is using God unfairly in fight over vaccines

New York Gov. Kathleen Hochul has encouraged religious-minded people to get a COVID-19 vaccine by saying it is God's will that they get inoculated.

A lawyer argued before a federal appeals court Wednesday that the Democrat's comments about God could be encouraging hospitals and nursing homes to ignore court orders that - for now - are supposed to prevent them from punishing workers who won't take the vaccine because of religious objections.

Health care institutions across New York this week began suspending workers who failed to meet a state deadline to get a COVID-19 shot. Statewide, about 92% of hospital and nursing home staff had received at least one dose as of the vaccine as of Wednesday morning, according to figures from Hochul's office.

New York's vaccine mandate for health care workers doesn't include a religious exemption, but because of legal challenges, courts have temporarily barred employers from enforcing the mandate against people with a sincerely held religious belief against vaccination.

During court arguments Wednesday, the judges with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan did not appear to be particularly impressed by an argument by Cameron Lee Atkinson, an attorney with We The Patriots USA Inc., a group challenging the state mandate, that Hochul's comments about God were discouraging health care employers from granting religious exemptions.

One of three judges on a panel said Atkinson's claim that Hochul is telling people “that God wants you to get the vaccine” was not the same as ordering employers to fire workers.

Earlier this week, Hochul, who is Roman Catholic, told a gathering of people at the Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn that God answered prayers and made scientists, doctors and researchers successfully develop the coronavirus vaccine.
Those who are vaccinated are the “smart ones," she said, and added that “you know there’s people out there who aren’t listening to God and what God wants. You know who they are.”

Attorney Steven Wu, New York's deputy solicitor general, told the appeals court judges that the state is in “full compliance” with a temporary restraining order granted this month by U.S. District Judge David N. Hurd that prevents disciplinary action against health care workers who have sought a religious exemption.

Hurd is scheduled to rule by Oct. 12 on a request for a more permanent order.

The fact that Hurd's temporary order is already in place left the 2nd Circuit questioning Wednesday whether it needed to take action at all. It made no immediate rulings.

The state health department has set up an operations center to monitor health care staffing, and Hochul tweeted Wednesday that “zero health care facilities across the state have been reported closed.”

“Our 24/7 Operations Center is constantly monitoring developments and working with facilities to troubleshoot any issues,” she tweeted. “We stand ready to take additional action as needed.”

Merck says research shows its COVID-19 pill works against variants

Laboratory studies show that Merck & Co's experimental oral COVID-19 antiviral drug, molnupiravir, is likely to be effective against known variants of the coronavirus, including the dominant, highly transmissible Delta, the company said on Wednesday.

www.reuters.com

Sept 29 (Reuters) - Laboratory studies show that Merck & Co's (MRK.N) experimental oral COVID-19 antiviral drug, molnupiravir, is likely to be effective against known variants of the coronavirus, including the dominant, highly transmissible Delta, the company said on Wednesday.

Since molnupiravir does not target the spike protein of the virus - the target of all current COVID-19 vaccines - which defines the differences between the variants, the drug should be equally effective as the virus continues to evolve, said Jay Grobler, head of infectious disease and vaccines at Merck.

Molnupiravir instead targets the viral polymerase, an enzyme needed for the virus to make copies of itself. It is designed to work by introducing errors into the genetic code of the virus.

Data shows that the drug is most effective when given early in the course of infection, Merck said.

Molnupiravir is just ivermetcin with a new name and a new hat, isn't it?
