The most accurate coverage of our recent COVID-19 vaccine work in the media come from Germany! Just the facts- no sensationalism, self-promotions, or click-baits. This is true journalism. heise.de/news/Bio-Progr…

@jbloom_lab journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.11… Describes an SRA search done in Feb 2020- No SARS-CoV-2 positive samples found.

Using this approach, I recovered files for the 34 early samples that were virus positive. I was able to use the data in the files to reconstruct partial viral sequences (from start of spike to end of ORF10) for 13 of these samples. (6/n)

In a new study, I identify and recover a deleted set of #SARSCoV2 sequences that provide additional information about viruses from the early Wuhan outbreak: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/n)

Congrats to Nelson (and team) on this AMAZING accomplishment!! 🏆🎆🎉

Amazing work by Katharina and team! medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Indeed an astute observation! :-) We don't find a microchip or any traces of Satan's DNA in the vaccines.

@Kevin_McKernan @MLevitt_NP2013 Correction: Our group (and this work) is in no shape or form associated with Atlas, Bhattachyra, Levitt, or Ioannidis (other than being in the same institution).

Yes... I can critique a thin pitch fork letter from 100 people at Stanford and still respect Scott Atlas, Jay Bhattachyra, @MLevitt_NP2013, John Ioannidis, and Andrew Fire. Not all at Stanford agreed with the witch hunt. I try not to collective people. stanforddaily.com/2020/11/19/fac…

Many thanks to Andrew Fires team for sequencing the Vaccines. Another Stanford Nobel that leads instead of follows. github.com/NAalytics/Asse…

@PowerDNS_Bert @wilsonpoon Yes- working on that. Takes longer than posting on GitHub :-)

@PowerDNS_Bert @wilsonpoon This draft is a quick text to get the sequences out. Stay tuned for the full paper (which will be peer-reviewed and has more data). Glad the sequences are now in the public domain-Hope it will be helpful to many. Looking forward to reading your writeup & happy to answer questions

@L_Andrew_Lyon Thanks!!! :-) and thanks @BeckmanFnd for continuing to support me while we do all of this.

@wilsonpoon @PowerDNS_Bert Thanks for catching this. We will revise. :-)

@PowerDNS_Bert Also, not to be pedantic, but this typo is hilarious 🤭🤭🤭 Truly smart and smarterer!

@PowerDNS_Bert Very useful data from @CircDNA and @fire__lab research groups, thanks! Looking forward to reading and learning more about this! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Curious about the RNAs in the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines? These sequences are now a part of the human ecosystem and are likely to appear in numerous other high throughput RNA-seq studies- they should be in the public domain. For details, see: virological.org/t/assemblies-o…

@2primeOH Yay!

Exciting day. (phosphorimager)

@mbeisen Jewish lasers?

Laser-sorted????

@dave_matus Don't know you but wish you the best luck. I wish the process was kinder and more systematic, but luck is definitely needed for this regardless of how amazing the proposed science is (and the blood, sweat, tears that went into the proposal).

R01 renewal submitted! I have never worked harder on a grant than this one - whether that translates to success at study session - I guess we'll find out in June! Huge shout out to the lab and all my PI friends who gave me incredibly helpful feedback and comments!

Purim is an important reminder to all of us that even during challenging times goodness will prevail. Happy Purim to all who are celebrating!

Invariably, these Witch Doctors/Scammers are charismatic people, who perfected the art of deception. The formula: charismatic CEO +scientific words + a few greedy "scientists"= multibillion dollar industry where greed and desperation collide. 4/4

Patients are offered a miracle cure, but instead they end up rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Or, they are being sold a placebo... these "scientists" get rich off people's desperation. 3/N

There are lots of Witch Doctors out there disguised as "Scientists". From herbal remedies, to #Resveratrol, to "Stem Cell Technology" #stemcells #BSfactory #pseudoscience This podcast is great at exposing how harmful these scams are. 1/N wondery.com/shows/bad-batc…
