Important update on metadata of H5N1 in cattle (and back to birds): Thanks to the extraordinary detective skills of @flodebarre, we are pleased to be able to share this table containing locations and dates for several H5N1 cases in cattle and birds: github.com/andersen-lab/a…

Why are US scientists dragged in front of Congress in Benghazi-style show trials? How come highly rated research programs get quietly shut down? Is it justified to treat virologists with suspicion? Is SARS-CoV-2 a gain-of-function virus? Let's explore: protagonist-science.com/p/treacherous-…
Trump will dismantle key US weather and science agency, climate experts fear @guardian I’m concerned about our biomedicine science infrastructure/agencies. While everyone focuses on the White House, I’m looking at what happens in the Senate/House theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a…

The White House's critiques of NYT coverage as described in the Politico article are completely legitimate. And yes, as I wrote here, it is publisher AG Sulzberger's fault: presswatchers.org/2024/03/why-is…

Rand Paul fundraising off this message is a new low—even for him Dr Fauci still needs a security detail due to death threats against him/his family (one man is in jail for threatening to kill Dr Fauci & his family cnn.com/2022/08/05/pol…); politicians should turn DOWN the heat
'heterodox' science podcasters: 10% pseudoscientific speculation 90% truculence to take a inconvenient, but firm scientific "no" for an answer
Did the Wuhan lab have a secret virus that they could have used to create SARS-CoV-2? 🧵
A highly informative and amusing thread worth reading in full. It proves the errand and dishonest nature of prominent #lableak conspiracy theorists such as @mattwridley and @ydeigin, who poisoned the discourse around this topic for self-serving ends.

Great myth-busting from @tgof137. It's beyond bizarre that people are still churning around the idea that there are hidden sequences - the 50, the 700, the 15,000 etc. It's all so easily explained by a bit of reading... starting with this excellent thread.

For the lab leak theory, evidence just goes from important to fake to important again, on a whim.
@stuartjdneil I'd like to add: The same people who are harassed and attacked since many years by those folks are the ones that are currently providing the relevant analysis on H5N1. We can be grateful they are still willing to do that and share the data. GOF: ok on farms, just not in labs.

I do have to chuckle at some amateur investigators who go through a lot of work just to rediscover the wheel. I mean, good effort, but just reading a paper, or any biology textbook really, that has already answered the question seems like a more effective approach 🤔😅
Evolving situation, but already makes clear that we are not well prepared on the surveillance and data transparency front. Let's hope society rediscovers why heeding scientific warnings tends to be smarter than ignoring them

In the face of a global H5N1 avian flu outbreak in wildlife, livestock & now people, surely Congress should be focused on its underlying causes linked to agriculture & trade, not another investigation into US-China lab collaborations. washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healthc…
The sequences posted to date allow us to look for any red flag mutations and relate them to one another... But without that critical metadata we cannot 🕰 the true cattle-specific rate to be more accurate to origin... or build the best epi model of spread across US.
it is not possible to test some really important hypotheses. Years ago, staring long enough (weeks) at evolutionary trees of all 8 flu A genomes segments that stored on my kitchen table, it finally occurred to my brain that you can't just assume that these viruses evolve...
at the same rate in each host species. Andrew Rambaut and I devised a "local molecular clock" to allow the virus molecular clock to tick at a different rates in each host species.
And that means the outbreak could be somewhat older or younger than our current estimates. We want to be able to understand, ASAP, how this cattle outbreak originated and what is full consequences might be. And we have at least one hand tied behind our back at the moment.
My concern at the moment is that H5N1 might evolve at a different rate in cattle than in birds. And until we have the sampling dates for the cattle viruses, we won't know if it is faster or slower (or the same) in cattle and birds.
Andrew, my student Guan-Zhu Han, and I published a paper showing that when this empirical reality was included in our models, the picture of the deep history of these viruses, which had been hopelessly confusing, snapped into focus: nature.com/articles/natur…
Intellectually challenged Bryce Nickels is correct- I have worked on Ebola virus. Not only that, I did all this work at BSL2 in the centre of New York and London. Any one want explain to the brain trust how I got away with it? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18005734/ journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…
