If Russia already has a vaccine for COVID-19, then they're probably responsible

33. Well, I admit that CT typepulling stuff out of their asses, piss me off...

I have a better idea about how to interact with these types, a method of which I avail myself when annoyed by the type of arrogant ignorance people see with, say, Trump.

I have no use for appeals to ignorance, for example, someone making up a theory about the origin of viruses, when one has no ability in the world to distinguish a fucosylated glycan from a peanut butter sandwich.

We live in very serious times, and there is little time to waste with clowns.

Last week, in the prestigious scientific journal, Science, a news item referred to a scientist who has spent her career studying viruses, and she addressed, with due contempt. the world's most famous and noxious CT conspirator in the world, another shit for brains fool who speculated about the origin of this virus without even a shred of scientific training or insight.

The coronavirus pandemic has thrust virologist Shi Zhengli into a fierce spotlight. Shi, nicknamed “Bat Woman,” heads a group that studies bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), in the Chinese city where the pandemic began. Many have speculated that SARS-CoV-2, the pathogen that causes COVID-19, accidentally escaped from her lab—a theory promoted by U.S. President Donald Trump. Some have even suggested it could have been engineered there...

...“U.S. President Trump's claim that SARS-CoV-2 was leaked from our institute totally contradicts the facts,” she added. “It jeopardizes and affects our academic work and personal life. He owes us an apology.”

Shi stressed that over the past 15 years, her lab has isolated and grown in culture only three bat coronaviruses related to one that infected humans: the agent that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which erupted in 2003. The more than 2000 other bat coronaviruses the lab has detected, including one that is 96.2% identical to SARS-CoV-2, are simply genetic sequences that her team has extracted from fecal samples and oral and anal swabs of the animals. She also noted that all staff and students in her lab recently tested negative for SARS-CoV-2, challenging the notion that one of them triggered the pandemic...

Wuhan coronavirus hunter Shi Zhengli speaks out (Cohen, Science 31 Jul 2020: Vol. 369, Issue 6503, pp. 487-488, Science News.)

Science is hard enough without having to engage every asshole and moron, from Trump on down, who presents one lunatic theory after another, none of which invested with a shred of fact. People who do this sort of thing distract us from our responsibilities, and thus do nothing more than trivialize and further worsen a dire situation.

I'm a scientist. I don't need this shit. No scientist needs this shit. I have nothing more to say to anyone who raises such nonsense. I have an ignore list for preventing myself from being exposed to depressing ignorance.

Have a nice life. We won't be speaking again, woo...woo...woo...
