4 measles-associated deaths in Pennsylvania; zero in the federal count
Pennsylvania has confirmed four measles-associated deaths in four weeks. The CDC lists zero for 2026, after changing the rule by which deaths are counted.

"For the first time, the American state has obtained a criminal conviction against a scientist for defending the truth about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic." A scientific paper the regime did not like is now prosecutable bunder Trump´s weaponized Department of Justice. Dark times. Injustice.
The prosecution of Morens is the reactionary outcome of years of an anti-science campaign spearheaded by the Trump administration and fascist Republicans, such as Senator Rand Paul, sustained with Democratic votes at every stage, and whose object is to beat the scientific community into silence.

The charges are a complete fraud. The “crime” supposedly committed by Morens was to route emails through a personal account. That is the whole of it. But the Justice Department’s announcement states that this was somehow part of a conspiracy to “counter the narrative that COVID-19 leaked from a lab.” The official act named in the accompanying bribery count is a scientific paper, a commentary Morens wrote arguing that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, had natural origins. The government has written a scientific conclusion into a criminal indictment and called it corruption.

I try not to comment on Alina Chan anymore, because I do not know how many times her self-serving commentary needs to be exposed for what it is for people to not fall for it anymore, but alas it seems she is planning her comeback tour so let me just explain what she tries to do here 🔽 1/
The virologists who brought us & the media the "overwhelming evidence" for a natural origin of Covid have been exposed. Their private messages refute their own key arguments for a natural origin & they were fearful that Covid-19 had been genetically engineered in an Wuhan lab.


Jul 28
The card-carrying virologists who published just about every influential paper claiming a natural origin of Covid reacted to the Defuse put-furin-cleavage-sites-in-SARS-like-viruses proposal as so:

What made me 💢 while reading their messages is they had the same suspicions & reactions to damning evidence of a lab origin of Covid - as one would expect from intelligent scientists - and they wasted years of our lives, pushing nonsensical double spillover raccoon dog theory.


It's one thing to have a genuine disagreement with another scientist.

It's another to have to waste years of your energy arguing with scientists who are smart enough to know you're right but choose to attack you as an unqualified conspiracy theorist.


How many more years of our time and energy are these virologists going to waste when we could be creating better guardrails and oversight for catastrophic pathogen research that's proliferating around the world?
Alina Chan

Anyone, if you see journalists or scientists or people online citing the double spillover raccoon dog papers, please show them the above slack messages from the senior authors of those papers.

Most people should be able to grasp the situation.

Looking back at this after a couple weeks, it's amazing that this "20% divergent viruses" data point was the very first point in Matt Ridley's summary of his case for a lab origin of SARS-CoV-2. Here's a figure folks can use who run into this argument in the future. 20% divergence is the norm.
A figure demonstrating that approximately 20% divergence between Spike genes of SARS-CoV and SARS-like viruses is extremely common.

Left: Distribution of pairwise amino acid identities for Spike for SARS-CoV compared to a deduplicated dataset of 112 sarbecovirus Spike genes (Hassanin et al 2024 with the addition of BtSY2).

Right: A phylogenetic tree estimated from the nucleotide sequence encoding the receptor binding motif (RBM) of Spike genes for the same data et has leaves colored by pairwise amino acid identity of Spike to SARS-CoV. Only 11 out of 111 other Spike genes are much less than 20% divergent from the SARS-CoV spike gene.
