The Fehr Lab

Anthony Fehr researches how coronaviruses cause disease. In fact, he was the first to establish a connection between a cellular modification and the anti-coronavirus response. @KUMolBio youtu.be/eqiJE3yQSic?si…

@LucioIaniero @DrNeilStone COVID and Flu are easily distinguished by both PCR and antibody tests. You can’t just say these patients had Flu without evidence. Flu cases were really low despite the fact that we were testing for it. Likely due to public health measures.

@DrNeilStone The hospitals were never full with covid patients. These people had the flu. Look at the flu numbers during the scamdemic!!! Almost eradicated for the first time in recorded human history.

I will always remember that period in 2021 when our ICU was absolutely stuffed full of extremely sick Covid patients - and they were ALL unvaccinated 2026 and all I hear all day every day here is "the vaccines didn't work" Complete nonsense

@SGriffin_Lab I don’t think most known carcinogens can do all of this. What a ridiculous post

Suffice to say, this is the biggest pile of <<<insert relevant derogatory terms to your taste>>> The eejit in the video has clearly looked up some big words. A shame most undergrad biology students could debunk this nonsense in less than a minute...

Congratulations to the 2026 University Research Awards recipients. Your determination and discoveries help make the world a better place. 🌎 Thank you for exemplifying the creativity, ingenuity, and might that power KU’s legacy as a leading research institution. Rock Chalk!

@willtobeWill89 @DerekPederson3 @ahron_maline Raccoon dogs were sold there and their cages tested positive for SARS-CoV-2.

@DerekPederson3 @ahron_maline I think the zoonatic spillover in the market is unlikely because 1. the earliest cases of covid were not associated with market, they occurred elsewhere, 2. The market is literally across the street from a bsl2 biolab 3. the animals that carry cornaviruses were not sold there

The lab leak theory is genuinely just one of the most delusional consensuses in history. It’s substantially more improbable than the theory that Trump legitimately won the 2020 election and yet it is treated by everyone other than a select few as plausible or even likely.

Congrats to KU professors Katie Batza, Anthony Fehr, Bret Freudenthal, and David Slusky, who each received a University Scholarly Achievement Award. 🎉 Their work helps make KU a leading national research university. Rock Chalk! news.ku.edu/news/article/f…

Congratulations to Dr. Tony Fehr @FehrLab for receiving the University Scholarly Achievement Award! biology.ku.edu/news/article/f…

Join us for a Coffee Hour with KU Biology Faculty! Feel free to come and go as your schedule allows and learn about the faculty’s research & path to KU! Free☕🍪 for all attendees! Featured Faculty: @BrianAtkinology & @FehrLab

@FehrLab has new research on the antiviral functions of PARP14 which shows PARP14 represses both coronavirus and herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) replication. Learn more at journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Claims that vaccines haven’t been tested against placebo are demonstrably false. We’ve documented 661 inert placebo-controlled trials (e.g., saline), including 503 for childhood vaccines. 100% of routinely recommended childhood vaccines have undergone placebo testing.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has awarded funding to KU Molecular Bioscience faculty to research Herpes simplex virus (HVS-1) with the goal of restricting viral replication. molecularbiosciences.ku.edu/news/article/t… @KUMolBio

@KUMolBio @FehrLab was awarded $2.2M to study coronavirus RNA molecularbiosciences.ku.edu/news/article/f…

1/ Tucker Carlson: “Do you think overall the COVID vaccine killed more people than it saved?” RFK Jr: “The truth is, I don’t know.” This is outrageous. I do know. The answer is: unequivocally no. 🧵

Congrats to everyone in the latest Biohawker Monthly. @FehrLab has two publications in this month's edition. #ThatsFehr #KUMolecularBiosciences #KUBiology
