Here’s a study you haven’t seen

1) Get samples of the three main vaxxes and sequence the rna (dna for JnJ)
2) within the same vax, calculate Jaccard similarity of all the sequences you found.

> what’s the variation like within batches and what’s the variation between batch to batch based just on the sequences you measured?

Ok then:
3) compare that to what the known nucleotide sequences SHOULD be to encode for a spike protein (which is known)

> how close did they each get?

4) shoot the vax into mammalian cells in a Petri dish and allow them to express whatever the vaxxes are coding for. Harvest the proteins and analyze them with X-ray crystallography and NMR.

> how close are the proteins — as expressed by each company’s nucleotide sequence — match up to the known spike protein structure?

Bonus round:
5) take the known spike protein structure and do some folding prediction to see if, with a little bit of nucleotide sequence tweaking, you can get a folded protein that is very very nasty.

If you can do that:
> compare what you found about the variation between companies, batches, and within batches to see if it’s plausible that the very nasty protein could get expressed in real people.

You know why you haven’t seen this study, I’m sure.

Who’s got the balls to do it?

UK Delta Variant Data - Aug 2021

No.13568142 ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
Unvaccinated cases: 151,054
Unvaccinated deaths: 253

Vaccinated cases: 117,115
Vaccinated deaths: 481
**vaccinated = 1-2 doses

I thought the case for vaccines were that they prevented severe reactions to the virus?

Even if you argue more unvaccinated people got Delta based on this data, that even makes the case to be unvaccinated greater considering MORE people died while having the jab despite less of them having the virus!

Covid Pass

No.13576388 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Guys, has anyone tried creating a fake covid health pass?
It seems like the qr code just sends a hash of some sorts and then a simple check is performed to see if everything is ok. It's probably pointless trying to reverse the hash.

Any help on how to generate one for yourself?

Consider the following

No.13575140 ViewReplyOriginalReport
There are one hundred frogs who live in the pond Peepeepoopoo.
An infectious mold, that grows on the frogs and eventually kills them, has been discovered. One of the frogs finds a leaf which cures the mold. This clever frog starts selling the leaves to the chief frog. The chief frog says, "Hey! You must start rubbing your body against this leaf! It is our only way to survive!". So the frogs start rubbing against the leaf.

70 chad frogs rubbed against the leaf, and 30 chud frogs didn't.
15 chad frogs still got infected with the mold and died.
15 chud frogs got infected with the mold and died.
How effective is the leaf at protecting the whole population?

Why are people who are shilling that the vaccines don't work now shilling for therapeutics? Is there even research into it to show its efficiency?

six squares problem

No.13557865 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Over the past weekend, I read a description of this problem, which I have re-worded as follows:
What is the diameter of the largest circle that can be covered by six unit squares?
I obtained a solution this morning, and I want to see whether other la/sci/vious plebi/sci/tes obtain the same.

Water Filters

No.13571504 ViewReplyOriginalReport
So I've been leaving jugs of water out on the side to let the chlorine evapourate and shocked at the difference in flavour, I can't go back to plain tap.

So I've been looking at water filters to get, and torn between the Brita which is a tried and tested brand which has good reliability, or this ZeroWater thing which apparently produces silky smooth water, but at a cost of the filters being expensive.
So I was wondering if anyone know if it was worth it for the ZeroWater or is it justa gimmick.

Holistic Learning

No.13574080 ViewReplyOriginalReport
There's this article I found last year about the benefits of a so-called "Holistic Learning" method that I want your opinions on
https://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/2007/03/25/how-to-ace-your-finals-without-studying/
You should really read the whole thing, but the tl;dr is that the author has found a way to place virtually anything in long-term memory and keep it there indefinitely using a system of web-like connections from one topic to another. All it requires is a bit of maintenance by reviewing different parts of the web every so often, and in this way you have a theoretically amazing memory.

What do you guys make of this? I tried it briefly after reading the article, but it didn't work very well. Will try it again soon. It might be something like perfect pitch where it has to be inculcated during childhood
