Immunologist Peter Medawar in his dictionary of biology, From Aristotle to Zoos, defined a virus by an anonymous quote as “a piece of bad news wrapped up in a protein.” The bad news is apparently the gain of function crowd and their apologists, in the case of coronaviruses that must be amplified and abetted on their way to the core of a human cell, the core of humanized mice cells and so forth and so on and so on. These creatures inhabiting the shadowy no-man’s land between chemistry and biology are quintessential parasites that subvert biochemical machinery of host cells in order to get a function in life, sometimes at universities, sometimes at institutes, sometimes in government or with bioweapon folks or perhaps even with some pharmaceutical vaccine makers or their bankrollers. -r.
