TWiV 1109: A protein flew out and a bat flu in

[@DudeFun-yi7nu]

Always a pleasure to listen to people who actually DO know what they're talking about ...

[@razerginn]

Thanks for promoting and setting a good example on logic and reasoning!

34C in Bangkok with expected high of 38C. 67% humidity. Bats are asleep.

About Prof. Racaniello 's picks, are the perspectives in the articles different? Seems like they arrive at the same conclusion. Is it perhaps that they arrive through different paths at the same conclusion? I point this out because the "different perspectives" phrasing hints at the idea that the Prof. is looking at the protests from many angles, when in fact he is not. Only Prof. DePalmier seems to be doing so (his example of the largest protest after the bombing of Cambodia hints at that -a large protest about something that could not be changed because it had already happened, contrasting with Mr. Dove's objection of "protests are tolerable only if reasonable"-).

Bird flu may cause global famine. The four pests campaign in China attempted to eliminate the Sparrow that ate some grain but also kept rodents and insects under control. Direct result was Millions dying of famine in China. Rice duck farming is the most efficient way to grow rice.

Regarding whether there are any non land-based domestic birds, doves are raised in dovecotes in Egypt. They are stuffed and roasted for banquets.

The faulty logic that I've heard is this: "Why would I want to vaccinate a perfectly healthy child?" Of course, the answer is: "So that the child will continue to be - PERFECTLY healthy." 💚

[@DP-PhD]

Exactly. It is quite amazing how most anti-vaxers have a belief they are able to determine 'perfect health' simply by observation, and are certain no child, or indeed anyone who appears 'perfect healthy' has no chance of becoming very UNHEALTHY as a result of pathogenic infection. I think a short time out of the very comfortable highly vaccinated and sanitised world in which most anti-vaxers live, might perhaps reawaken a realisation of the benefits of vaccination!

[@danielhopkins296]

Unless they were never going to be sick from alleged infection or the very vaccine itself causes unwanted side effects, duh

[@AlbertMark-nb9zo]

@@danielhopkins296 - considering the history of measles vaccine takeup, people people have a lousy track record of evaluating actual risk.

@@DP-PhD ✅ Some say that the polarization is a sign of our times. But, actually, polarization is nothing new: 17th century New England was very polarized, I think. Some believed in witches, and others did not. I'll bet that this led to debates within families, and among friends.

Found in LA B. cereus is a soil-dwelling bacterium which can colonize the gut of invertebrates as a symbiont[14] and is a frequent cause of food poisoning[15] It produces an emetic toxin, enterotoxins, and other virulence factors.[16] The enterotoxins and virulence factors are encoded on the chromosome, while the emetic toxin is encoded on a 270-kb plasmid, pCER270.[11]
