I would like to add a few mammals to your footnote. Over here in the Western US we had a epidemic of Rabbit Hemorrhage Fever (which is attributed to SARS-CoV1, believe it or not). Affected rabbits act sickly, then suddenly bleed out through their noses (sound familiar?) and die. A friend lost 80% of his rabbits to this. My does (female) rabbits were both pregnant at the same time. One delivered a single live kit and a number of malformed, dead fetuses; the other doe delivered a malformed kit that died at birth and a bunch of clumps of bloody flesh. Can't say if they would have died from thrombocytopenia as well, as I figured they were done and turned them into dog food. Shortly after that, all my ewes aborted. Two other friends with goats saw their nannies either abort or deliver malformed, unviable kids. Correlation isn't causation but....
When bio-logically active entities escape or are released from a laboratory, the co-evolution of life takes over with unpredictable, incalculable, non-modelable consequences - and consistently so. Why? In order to transfer the energetic distortions of human hubris again into the bio-logical context of living energy budgets. Just one example of many:
This makes my stomach turn. Seeing as my family recently became ill with very mild symptoms and tested positive, I can't help but question what chimeric man-made creation just ran through our systems. Are we done? Was there something awful inserted into it that will reveal itself later?
So if mice can now spread Omicron, there is even less point in locking down or vaccinating -- good luck eliminating all the mice. And of course the virus will continue to evolve in mice, and cross back to people.
The "pandemic" cannot be solved, except by everyone acquiring immunity.

Great post again. Thank you.

This gain-of-function business really needs to stop.
This team in Australia managed to accidentally evolve a variant that doesn't require ACE2. Just published today: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.16.473063v1
Excellent, thanks!
