Unfortunately not. Prions can remain infectious even after sterilization.

Seems to be an intentionally limited attack. It was probably meant to show Iran how effortlessly they can strike inside the country, should they want.

Yup. If evidence becomes available that the WIV had in its possession sc2 or a progenitor prior to 2020, I’d change my mind. But the evidence implicating the wildlife trade makes that exceedingly...

Which is one of the problems with the lab leak “hypothesis.” It’s not a hypothesis, but a multitude of often mutually exclusive claims, always changing to bend the narrative in the face of...

Who cares if a journalist feels he was misled? That has no bearing on the truth whatsoever. The simple fact remains: there is overwhelming evidence for a zoonotic emergence.

Fair enough.

Both terms are correct. One is referring to the individual level and the other to the mean effect. Infection would need to be prevented in some individuals if the risk across the cohort is reduced. A...

Preventing COVID =\= preventing infection (the D in COVID stands for disease). It is entirely accurate to say that the early vaccine clinical trial data demonstrated high effectiveness at preventing...

Trump is begging the court to not make him pay the 80 million until after the appeal. He either doesn’t have the money, or doesn’t believe he can win the appeal.

Within the next month he’ll need...

Hence why I said on average. I know of PhD programs with > 50% acceptance rates and others that accept only the brightest students in the nation. The professional programs in the US (I can’t speak to...

On average, professional programs (med, vet, dental, pharm) have more structured and competitive application processes compared to graduate school. That’s because there is enormous variation in...

Mostly yes. The research community is responsible for discovery (the intellectually taxing component) and those findings are ultimately relayed to clinicians. Both are needed for medical progress.

Antivaxxers are so confused right now. They genuinely don’t know if they should believe the study or denounce it. They’re waiting on someone to explain the results to them so they can decide which...

I think your understanding is correct. But as you mentioned he’ll have to post the full amount regardless. He hasn’t be able to secure a bond for the 80 million so it’s unlikely he’ll secure one to...

He has to post the full 350+ million for an appeal. The 80+ million from the Carroll case will also need to be posted. In other words, unless he can secure a huge bond, he’ll need more than 400...

I’m no legal expert, but it seems you’re misinterpreting the seven month statement. Seven months from the start of the indictment (and this is not a hard rule, she can change her mind anytime). He...

The trial could still begin as early as March, but will probably start between April and June. Trump would need flagrant and extreme help from the SC if he’s to delay the 1/6 trial into fall. The...

1/6 will probably cost Trump the presidency. His defense attorneys have endlessly been throwing **** against the wall and nothing has stuck. Time is about out. When his appeal is rejected this week...

Stop lying Dave…


Under six months should as well.

Didn’t take long for the first conspiracy theorist to arrive with an ad hominem logical fallacy. In your deranged world, is every institution in on the conspiracy? Does the nefarious plan extend to...
