SARS–CoV–2 Spike Impairs DNA Damage Repair and Inhibits V(D)J Recombination In Vitro
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS–CoV–2) has led to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID–19) pandemic, severely affecting public health and the global economy. Adaptive immunity plays a crucial role in fighting against SARS–CoV–2 infection and directly influences the clinical outcomes of patients. Clinical studies have indicated that patients with severe COVID–19 exhibit delayed and weak adaptive immune responses; however, the mechanism by which SARS–CoV–2 impedes adaptive immunity remains unclear. Here, by using an in vitro cell line, we report that the SARS–CoV–2 spike protein significantly inhibits DNA damage repair, which is required for effective V(D)J recombination in adaptive immunity. Mechanistically, we found that the spike protein localizes in the nucleus and inhibits DNA damage repair by impeding key DNA repair protein BRCA1 and 53BP1 recruitment to the damage site. Our findings reveal a potential molecular mechanism by which the spike protein might impede adaptive immunity and underscore the potential side effects of full-length spike-based vaccines.

Our findings reveal a potential molecular mechanism by which the spike protein might impede adaptive immunity and underscore the potential side effects of full-length spike-based vaccines.

I don’t know enough virology to be sure, but I’ve read there are about twenty types of spike protein, only one of which is stimulated via the current vaccines. I think it’s a pretty complex area and thus so is adaptive immunity with regard to these proteins. Most new vaxxes still seem to feel that the spike protein has to be at the base somewhere. Also, killed virus particle vaxxes are also proving to have some bad effects. The conservative approach, vaccinate only the older half of the population and those with comorbidities seems to be a good one, but not taken amidst the hysteria.

In particular, I see no need to vaccinate children under 18 against Covid. It is not in their best interests, which should be the determining factor.

It seams I reported you twice Cassie. Unintended.

Daisey Cousens would vote for Matt Kean.

I am not buying her schtick.

my work here is done.

Of course it isn’t, Struth. They’re intending to carbon tax the hell out of us, except they’re calling it by another name – carbon credits and that old Nigerian scam, the buying of carbon indulgences.

You are needed here, your experience is needed here, and people can (and must) agree to disagree on the issue of the Covid vaxxes. There is no doubt that Covid has given the authoritarians a good practice run for lots of things. We can concentrate on defeating those, and on attacking government by decree rather than by parliamentary democracy. Our rights are under attack, and ps. – nothing should be mandatory about our personal medical decisions.

Most anti-covid vaxers are not anti-vaxers.

Yes.

This is not being reported in the low IQ Murdoch Jnr press, who have idolised baby boomer leftovers like Elliot and Hazzard.

They excelled in time sitting their way to power and abusing it.

Makes it easy for GUY. Sheesh, more coffee needed.

I was more worried about you two being stuck in some place unable to return to Oz….because the gates to Australian were being screwed shut.

Nice of you, Cassie. But you know, give me Hairy and a platinum credit card and I would be happy anywhere. You can even drop the credit card as long as there’s enough cash for a tent and a burger. We don’t need much when it comes to the crunch, as long as we have each other. 🙂

I’ll take your word for it, but Smithy did ricochet his vehicle off a parked car and drive into a house.
No mention of the fence.
So far we don’t know if he was driving a Maserati at the time, but photos of the house damage plus other details would be a sure part of the ALPs election campaign.

Seriously, IQ levels peaked in those born in 1975.

Your link doesn’t support that claim, it supports mine, that averaged IQ has been falling for decades.

He didn’t make it past the first run-n-tug joint?

Heh, Albo, yousa gotta love him.
Perhaps The Duddster will appoint Anthony Minister for Snails so he can spend more time in Paree?
Alternatively, he could audition for the role of Rudd’s Valet?

Evan Mulholland of the (cue spooky muzak …) IPA. “How we can improve the ALPBC.”

The only improvement I want to see is that marxist monstrosity obliterated.

Bloody hell- what’s he been smoking? The ABC in unlistenable, unwatchable and beyond reform.

I see the Mighty Road Warrior dropped in again for a spot of ‘destroying.’

I suppose if it keeps him from road-raging somebody off a Queensland country lane or Constitutionalising himself out any one of his two jobs (one self-employed) that are actually supporting the TyRaNnY he so hates, then venting his spleen and fulminating rabidly at all we lesser humans (pure-blooded and otherwise) is probably a good thing…

So watch the MSM stay shtum re. the Biden daughter’s diary.

Biden and Pelosi just gave each and every member of the MSM a $50k tax credit.

Biden’s $50,000-per-year journalist tax credit estimated to cost taxpayers $1.6B (4 Nov)

The lucrative $50,000-per-year journalist tax break that Democrats have tucked within President Biden’s multitrillion-dollar social welfare bill is estimated to cost taxpayers more than $1.6 billion over the next decade.

Any wonder they stay schtum about such things?

I’m not sure whether this grift has been passed yet but it sure says a lot about the Dems and the MSM that they want to do this.

Biden and Pelosi just gave each and every member of the MSM a $50k tax credit.

That one hasn’t been passed yet but:

Republicans say that it amounts to a giveaway to the “mainstream news media.” They also argue it would create an improper relationship between the federal government and the nation’s leading media outlets, which could be exploited for propaganda purposes.

Well no screaming eagle shit.

Thank God for bread deliveries.

some more gloom and doom

The “elephant in the room” as the article puts it, isn’t the problem.
The problem is the 1600 Kg Gorilla – otherwise known as government interference – in the economy.
This problem has been decades in the making but has only made its presence obvious in the last two decades.
90% of the issue is from ignorant bureaucrats who are too enamoured with their own cleverness and lack of experience in running a business to even understand they are the problem.
There is now a situation with runaway regulation and the regulators are blind to it.

Lizzie

Hysterical claims that we are all going to die from the vaxx sound like the warmists we’re all going to fry. They are patently not borne out by any evidence and both stike me as catastrophism.

If there is any validity to these claims, the signal will be clear at the time. The government and bureaucratic officials, who have access to the actual statistical data on illness and deaths, will suddenly find important reasons to be overseas en masse, followed soon by the media and other “influencers” who have hung onto their coattails.

The reason for their need to be elsewhere will be that, as hundreds of thousands start to die, they, and their families, will realise who caused this, and will hunt them down to extinction as their last acts in this life. There will be nowhere in Australia, and no protective force, that could protect them from the righteous rage of their victims.

And you wonder why my tolerance level might be a bit low after the last two years.

Not speaking for others. I’m amazed people’s tolerance levels have been as high as they have after listening to exhortations from self-styled travelling bush poets with zero skin in the game for all that time..

I come on here and at this stage of the game people are patting themselves on the back for attending a peaceful rally as if democracy still exists.

And:

But that’s ok. You’re going to fix this all up by voting.

What would you have The People do? Exactly and specifically, what?

Didn’t you advocate putting an Albert Jacka mask on and standing quietly at a cenotaph* as a legitimate – nay, the only – acceptable form of protest? And now showing support by attending these protests around the country is no longer enough? What’s enough?

Hey but then again, why listen to a Queenslander?

You’re not a Queenslander, and in any event some of Quenthland’s forward-thinking giants here are not doing The Cause much good at all. Not all of them, mind, but if you’re happy for every Queenslander to be lumped in the same bucket in the manner you do Victorians, then don’t be amazed if the favour’s returned.

You began this State-based finger-pointing, St. Ruth. You. So stop your bitching when it’s returned with interest.

*Or epitaph.

[IQ] scores began to decline after 1975.

It appears that IQ started falling off at the same time that multiple childhood vaccinations started ramping up.

1975. The very same year Bill Gates founded Microsoft.

A ‘coincidence’?
Hmmm…

Did Struth just flounce?
Was he driven away by vaxxies?
That’s just wrong. Still quisling vaxxies do outnumber purebloods, even on a soi dissant libertarian blog.
Then again I did find him a bit wispy washy.

That screechy woman declaiming like a North Korean newsreader on Outsiders is even getting to me, the mildest and most tolerant of persons.

Bruce – The infrastructure bill got shoved through late last night but the msm bribery piece is in the social welfare bill which isn’t likely clear the Senate as long as Minchen and Sinema hold out.

US bloggery would be exploding right now if the ‘bribery bill’ had been passed already and it would surely have made the list you linked to.

Calling it a bridge too far would be a massive understatement.

Razz,
When was he ever bombastic? People should learn to be as tolerant as me. They aren’t. Which is why I feel the way Imdomabout humanity.
And I though him a rather mild and level headed chap.

The lucrative $50,000-per-year journalist tax break that Democrats have tucked within President Biden’s multitrillion-dollar social welfare bill is estimated to cost taxpayers more than $1.6 billion over the next decade.

Like Labor here, and Labour in the UK, the DemonRats have long ceased to care about the working class. Being mates with the inner city “trendies” leads to dinner parties that are for more enjoyable than suburban backyard BBQs. And the conversation is far more uplifting than sports and motor cars.

Has Albo flown to Paris to offer his mostest sincerest apologies on behalf of Australia and strew the Champs-Elysees with rose petals?

Has Grigs been brought in over The Murders Skinsuits in the Rue Morgue?

It’s also people living openly in de facto relationships that are an issue.

When one of our sons was in primary school in the 1980s, his class was horrified that their (unmarried) woman teacher was pregnant. I wonder what would be the kids’ attitude now?

Daisey Cousens is the kind of conservative who likes prenuptial agreements being banned.

Man up, man-lemmings!

Weren’t the 1950s great with us obedient sexy yet modest housewives?

Read somewhere that Nursies are told not to start again if blood comes back into the syringe.
Could it be that those who accidentally get vaxxed into a vein are the ones showing up dead, while those injected into muscle don’t have these immediate problems?

worst “vaccine” ever

Effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccination against risk of symptomatic infection, hospitalization, and death up to 9 months: a Swedish total-population cohort study
Vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic Covid-19 infection wanes progressively over time across all subgroups, but at different rate according to type of vaccine, and faster for men and older frail individuals. The effectiveness against severe illness seems to remain high through 9 months, although not for men, older frail individuals, and individuals with comorbidities. This strengthens the evidence-based rationale for administration of a third booster dose.

UKHSA Efficacy Stats Death Watch: Week 44
doesn’t look good.

No it certainly doesn’t look good.

But the problem confounding this issue appears to be statistics and elementary maths, rather than biology.

The actual population of the UK is highly uncertain:

• the ONS estimates are based on the 2011 census, adjusted for births, deaths, and a stab at net migration.

• the NIMS estimate is based on NHS GP registrations, periodically adjusted for deaths that work through the system, and incompletely adjusted for multiple registrations and the Brexit exodus of filthy Europeans, formerly leeching on the NHS.

The consequence is the calculation of rates of anything to do with unvaccinated Brits is also highly uncertain. And is rapidly becoming sketchy as the significance of the error of estimate in the denominator increases as the numbers of unvaccinated falls.

Add to that the obvious sampling issues (eg the gross anomaly in the under 18 group), shite communication, and bureaucratic obfuscation – and, suddenly, you have Babel.

Nobody in this argument really knows what’s what.

A person has collapsed out front of a Bunnings in Busselton right after their vaccination….

What’s more likely – dying from Rona or slipping on a Bunnings sausage sanger?

I thought they were hushed up when they showed that certain races had higher IQs than others.
White people weren’t top of the tree either, not even second to top!

According to Out of Africa, Asians are latter DNA than Africans/Europeans?

A female Indian GP told me that from babies, Caucasians are notable for their “big noses”.

I didn’t think we’d appear like big-nosed Arabs to them.

We of white colour are betwixt the black man and the coloured/yellow man, colour merely reflecting latitude of origin?

IQ Testing consistently found that average IQ among African Americans is around 80 and average among whites was around 98.
Rather than face awkward questions aqbout the point and purpose of Affirmative Action Programs then being implemented, IQ research and findings was transferred to the Academic equivalent of White Sands, New Mexico.

Darwin is, it is the least popular posting in Defence…

True enough, Zulu…

when you set off last year I wasn’t worried about either of you catching the bug, I was more worried about you two being stuck in some place unable to return to Oz

Correct. And a lot of hand-wringing by a few commenters over your “carelessness” and “selfishness”. This was around the same time as many stranded Aussies were demanding repatriation on the public purse. Who can forget our intrepid shipload of entitled doctors?

I remember the whole deluge of cascading and hyperventilating acrimony very well, balanced perfectly with your delight in seeing your aunt. As it turned out, a great blessing as we know now.

And also remarking that you paid your way home yourself rather than relying on government.

And…notafan’s trip across the borders to Qld to be there for her pregnant daughter. Drove herself up from Melbourne, hoping to cross with the “papers” and expecting to be turned back at any stage. Again to derision by some.

And the grinding daily diatribes brought about a single comment in the early stages of what looked like a global, deadly pandemic that stung a sensitive spot. Every day, day after day, a denouncement worthy of Mao’s minions. I presume the intent was a recantation.

Not the Cat’s finest moment. Or its finest 20 months.

I takes offence at that, H.B.
Going from the recent crowd at the Ag Show, most of Busso at every age group is ready to collapse at any moment, from a diabetic hypoglycaemic episode, heart attack, or just crumbling overloaded cankles.

We are not getting the best and brightest, for all the bureaucratic claims of “skilled” migration.

are you calling uber drivers unskilled?

What’s more likely – dying from Rona or slipping on a Bunnings sausage sanger?
There’s 12 months of work right there for some budding epidemiologst.

I think that’s already been done.
Someone scored a PhD in Onions on the Bottom.

Gosh, that was a long comment. Sorry.

I’m just fed up with accusations directed at commenters who don’t fit the doctrinal purity worthy of any woke group.

Good on you. Well done. Totally agree. Cheers, calli.

I am the most “doctrinally pure” person here (maybe). Not many people think David D Freidman and Ayn Rand are just the greatest. Or that everyone should read Human Action, Michael Malice is tops and reading history and law is necessary to be a politically wise citizen (re; the government cannot blindly screw you over).

I learnt the hard way not everyone is going to agree with me.

Calling people traitors is just damn galling.

Imagine this. Channel Nein doofus asks Hewson about a birthday cake. Hewson in an alternative timeline says, well, the GST would be much simpler than we have now and working families would have more affordable children’s parties. Get Keating on here to compare the two and explain how WST etc works!

No. Hewson calls the Ch. 9 doofus a traitor and demands he is shot by a passing army truck after We, The People declare him guilty in a drum head court martial!

Nor am I fan of “normal people” as some sort of sacred cow to “win” an argument.

Normal people are in shocking personal debt, are dangerously overweight and have thunderously applauded maniacs like Palaszczuk, Berejiklian, Andrews, Gunner & McGowan. They no longer believe in civil liberties and think getting ahead means working a soul destroying government job where nothing is contributed to the economy – as long as enough is redistributed to them.

25 years ago I may have trusted “ordinary people” but the shocking level of government advertising subverting private enterprise traditional media as well as social media, and state owned & approved media has “manufactured consent”. Edward Bernays has sowed a multi decadal legacy of destruction.

I am surprised some HR/WHS Xaren does not enforce hand washing after certain products are bought and before the sunday morning communion sausages are doled out to unsuspecting Methodists, athiest and Wiccans.

Communion or soma?

I report, you decide!

Images of Tuvalu minister giving COP26 statement in the ocean go viral on social media

Foreign Minister Simon Kofe addressed cameras while knee-deep in the ocean to highlight the sea level rises affecting his nation, drawing plenty of attention and admiration on social media.

But is Tuvalu actually sinking and “affecting his nation”?
Their ABC fact checks and, vomiting blood, concludes:

In the four decades to 2014, Tuvalu’s total land area grew by 73 hectares, or 2.9 per cent.

The expert behind this research told Fact Check the nation’s islands were continually adjusting, and that the new land was habitable.

But, anyhow…

Knuckle Dragger…It’s two years later sport , so what I was mocked for proposing back then when it may have worked….symbolic disobedience (not a protest) is a completely different to a protest now it is an established communist shit hole
