In Topics: Science Kung Flu Stupidity
Peak Stupidity no longer has a biochemistry department, if we ever had one. Our staff are not here to debunk or discuss the science that includes nucleoside base modifications. I am sure Drew Weissman and Katalin Koriko are intelligent, knowledgeable scientists.
However, there is so much research going on all over the world's universities, with plenty of bright research ideas with prize-worth results. How does the committee decide? Politics.
So, these two scientists have worked on the replacement of the nitrogenous bases in RNA, which are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil. I do remember a little of this stuff, which includes that DNA strands have the 4 amino acids in patterns that make up genes. There's the A,G, C, and T, but in the RNA, the uracil replaces thymine (the T) that's in DNA. Who said this wasn't gene therapy? I cannot say that that means this research can't have important good applications.
This Nobel Prize announcement is centered on the particular application of the use of this research to "enable the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19". In the eyes of the Nobel Committee, that makes Drs. Weissman and Koriko HEROES and deserving of this yearly prize. There's your politics. Really, after all that has gone down and all the bad effects seen from this gene therapy vaccine, I am surprised that that the Noble Committee* is still keeping this Heroes and world-saving vaccine narrative alive. Perhaps I should not be.
Finally, for the record and as to complete due diligence here, I did duckduckgo "Katalin Koriko bikini pictures", and again with the little tick mark: "NO RESULTS". Dang. However, I came upon a Glamour magazine article dubbing her The Scientist Who Saved the World. There's a picture of her in a clearing in the woods with a long black dress, but honestly, women of Glamour, I would rather have just seen bikini pictures.
* That's in Sweden, no less, one of the more sane and non-panicked countries we've read about (as discussed thoroughly by our commenter E.H. Hail in parts VII - - X - - XI - - XV - - and XIX of his real-time reporting on the PanicFest in '20, among some others, I'm sure).

PS: "I would give the Nobel in medicine to The Beegees, for “Stayin’ Alive.” If CPR is performed while humming the song, the song’s beat gives you the proper cadence. Ah ha ha ha stayin alive stayin alive. "
SafeNow, it's hard for me to believe that you haven't watched the following scene from the old TV show "The Office", since you wrote this. If not, you are in for a treat, much better if you knew the characters, but still hilarious anyway:

There is a little more at the beginning this one cuts off, but this is the gist of it.
BTW, got some interesting info on the current CPR training They use smart dummies now, no kidding. See this post of mine from a couple of years back:

Funny stuff in the comments too...

PS: "The prize is for work "enabl(ing) the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19." But think closely about what that means. It is for a tweak of the mRNA technology, and not for the mRNA technology itself!"
Brett, no kin to Drew I assume, may have something, but without reading it all, which I possibly couldn't, I can't tell what the "enabling" is, Mr. Hail. I'd figured it meant they learned how to doctor up these amino acids (at least that's what I was taught the A, T, C, and G were) to do lots of things, the creation of this monster vaccine being one of them.

I would give the Nobel in medicine to The Beegees, for “Stayin’ Alive.” If CPR is performed while humming the song, the song’s beat gives you the proper cadence. Ah ha ha ha stayin alive stayin alive. 100 to 120 compressions per minute. otherwise the tendency is to go way too slow and studies show superior outcomes if trained in the stayin’alive method.
I continue to be struck by the peak stupidity of people who should know better. for example a TV commercial for a nursing school shows the nursing students going along at about 50 per minute, and I’ve also seen slow cpr in films. hey if Dylan can win a Nobel in literature then why not the Bee Gees for medicine.

Brett Weinstein, whom I began to pay attention to on word of Dieter Kief in about 2021, has pointed out something interesting about this Nobel Prize.
The prize is for work "enabl(ing) the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19." But think closely about what that means. It is for a tweak of the mRNA technology, and not for the mRNA technology itself!
This allows "them," says Brett Weinstein, to ignore the man who invented themRNA technology, which is Robert Malone, a somewhat-flamboyant anti-Panicker and anti-CovidVaccine activist.
It is like celebrating a guy in 1910 who developed a more-stable wing for early aircraft allowing better flight in certain conditions, and snubbing the Wright Brothers.

PS: Mr. Berline, thanks for that, a Nobel for a scientist working from the antiPanic view (though well before the whole PanicFest itself). Mr. Ōmura's project sounds less like a piece of scientific genius than a bunch of hard work done to help mankind, and the animals too.
"Also effective against C19, but too inexpensive to line the pockets of the politicians and big pharma." Agreed.

2015 Nobel prize winners (physiology and medicine).
"In the late 1960s, Satoshi Ōmura, a microbiologist at Tokyo’s Kitasako Institute, was hunting for new antibacterial compounds and started to collect thousands of soil samples from around Japan. He cultured bacteria from the samples, screened the cultures for medicinal potential, and sent them 10,000 km away to Merck Research Labs in New Jersey, where his collaborator, William Campbell, tested their effect against parasitic worms affecting livestock and other animals. One culture, derived from a soil sample collected near a golf course southwest of Tokyo, was remarkably effective against worms. The bacterium in the culture was a new species, and was baptised Streptomyces avermictilis. The active component, named avermectin, was chemically modified to increase its activity and its safety. The new compound, called ivermectin, was commercialised as a product for animal health in 1981 and soon became a top-selling veterinary drug in the world."

PS: 1) I'm not sure where the science lies in that one. Is it just about which chunk to cut out, and where to saw on the head?
2) Ha, very interesting information there, Alarmist. (Here I was just looking for bikini pictures.) Yes, I was a member but I never inhaled, errr, filed. None dare call them Commies.

1) They gave the 1949 Nobel in medicine to António Caetano de Abreu Freire Egas Moniz for developing the lobotomy. Ironically, he shared it with a Swiss guy named Walter Rudolf Hess, not to be confused with the more famous Rudolf Walter Richard Hess, the Egyptian-born German Deputy Führer.
2) “COVID-19 vaccine scientist Katalin Kariko was listed as Communist-era police informant”
Yeah, she sounds like someone we can trust. In a nod to former President W.J. Clinton, her response:
“Katalin was recruited in 1978 but she says that she never filed a report for Hungary's feared State Security Service. “

thank you Mr. moderator for the office link I enjoyed that. I have never watched the office…. remember my vintage…. CPR was invented a mere six years before I began working as an ocean lifeguard.
