On The Origin Of The Home Of COVID-19 - 29

I. Background

Regular readers of this extensive Dredd Blog series know that it is about "the mass-production-of-animals-for-food industry".

But it is also about the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the COVID-19 disease it is said to cause.

I have furnished copious appendices in this series detailing various aspects of the GenBank nucleotide data available there at only the cost of the value of the time it takes to look up the vast array stored there.

II. A 'Radical' Discovery

The relevant fad lately in this narrative is the Omicron variant group, which is said to be a cause for concern because it is not a substantial likeness to the "original" located at or around Wuhan China a million American deaths ago.

Regular readers also know that Dredd Blog has produced an excruciating amount of DNA/RNA appendices to posts in this series relating to Coronaviruses.

Today I am only using four appendices to support the assertions in today's post (Wuhan, "Mutants"-Wuhan, Omicron, "Mutants"-Omicron).

[In this transcription and translation "mutant" means it was not found between a start codon and a stop codon, but was in the base pairs. (c.f. What is a mutation? here, here, and here)]

The HTML tables in the four appendices show that "The Mother of All SARS-CoV-2 viruses" (the original from Wuhan in December of 2019) is not substantially different from the Omicron Variant of 2022.

That is based on an analysis of two nucleotide records (Wuhan, Omicron).

III. The Sameness

So, how do I mean "substantially the same?" you may be wondering.

Ok.

Consider a recent post featuring a video in classroom format, by MIT a.k.a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (see video below).

That video illustrates the science of how mRNA (messenger RNA) is constructed from DNA inside eukaryotic cells of humans or microbes.

Compare the four appendices of today's post and you will see that the standard codons (those in the primary genetic code) as well as the "mutant" codons are exactly the same (down to the atom counts) in the Wuhan and Omicron SARS-CoV-2 Nucleotide data used to decipher the mRNA. [In this transcription and translation "mutant" means it was not found between a start codon and a stop codon, but was elsewhere in the base pairs.]

In other words no difference between normal and "mutant" codons in the nucleotides of Wuhan vs Omicron sequences were found when I translated and transcribed them (see video below).

IV. mRNA

The mRNA is constructed within the nucleus then sent to ribosomes located outside of the cell nucleus in the cytoplasm (of the cell).

For the original Wuhan to be the same as the recent BA.2 Omicron raises the question "what Omicron variants?".

V. Closing Comments

This Dredd Blog series has hypothesized that the mass-production-of-animals-for-food industry's chemical practices (overuse of antibiotics etc.) is the cause of many problems, including the advent of SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 disease that virus causes (On The Origin Of The Home Of COVID-19, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28).
