@miunosoft Hi Michael, I'm trying to archive a twitter account for a friend who died, and I keep running up against the API rate limit. I think I need your "multiple accounts" plugin, but I can't possibly afford it at nearly $200, tho I'm sure it's worth every cent. Can you help?

The subject of this essay is Addgene [see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addgene ], a nonprofit organization that serves as a repository for viral capsids and plasmids. Addgene provides researchers with an incredible array of components that are indispensible for the operation of CRISPR. Discovered in 1987, CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats), a powerful immune system that evolved millions of years ago to protect bacteria, enables the insertion and deletion of arbitrarily selected genes into, or the wholesale destruction of, the areas of a chromosome that are expressed to create proteins, enabling the easy modification of any given genome. However, the discovery was not useful until Addgene, and other similar services, came into being in 2004. Addgene provides a crucial link in the chain of technologies required to operate CRISPR, and their service is indispensable to humanity’s fights against disease, aging, environmental pollution, and a host of other issues facing the world today.
Founded in 2004 by Melina Fan, Kenneth Fan and Benjie Chen, Addgene was born from these scientists’ realization that their research, and others in their field, was severely hampered by the great difficulty of obtaining capsids and plasmids. Starting as a small network, by which scientists could deposit and obtain these crucial components, Addgene expanded over time to become the near-comprehensive repository for thousands of various proteins that they are today. Addgene charges a nominal fee for any given protein to support their operations, unlike many organizations who demand eye-popping premiums for valuable biotechnology. Their success and proliferation has reached such a scale that it is eminently possible for anybody to utilize their services.
Prior to the existence of Addgene, such proteins had to be obtained, if obtaining them was possible at all, by either manual manipulation of a virus in a lab, or utilizing academic networks to find somebody that had one, and hoping they were willing to provide it. Requiring a full lab setup to extract pieces of infectious disease samples severely slowed research into CRISPR, and made home use all but impossible. The difficulty in obtaining these proteins also cast a shadow on CRISPR research, because reproducing a study was difficult or impossible without access to them. These limitations are a primary reason that, although CRISPR was first discovered in 1987, it took a generation before the potential applications and relative simplicity of this powerful tool started to come to light ([Read more on Carl Zimmer : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Zimmer ]). Even with their services beginning in 2004, it still took another decade for broader awareness of CRISPR’s vast power to spread.
To solve this existential problem with CRISPR research, Addgene acts as a repository for researchers investigating CRISPR to submit their capsid and plasmid samples, and provides them for a nominal fee. These proteins are still obtained by the means described above; research scientists write their papers, extract the proteins and perform their research, and submit their proteins to Addgene’s repositories. Due to the fact that once obtained, such proteins tend to be vast in number, a single scientist’s submission can be drawn upon, not without limit, but in sufficient quantity that it should be a long time until the supply runs out. Maintaining a facility to store these proteins is no small feat; such proteins have greatly variant requirements for long-term storage. For example, every protein requires a medium, and must be stored at a specific temperature or temperature range, which can vary from frozen solid, to room temperature, or even human body temperature. This also complicates delivery. To order a protein, one submits a research paper to Addgene, describing the research to be conducted, the expected outcomes, and describing the proteins required. Addgene then provides the required proteins by an appropriate shipping method.
In making these proteins readily available, Addgene also creates the risk that they may be used in the production of bioweapons. While requiring a detailed description of the protein’s intended use is a partial safeguard against this, any researcher capable of developing such a weapon would also be quite capable of producing a wholly fictitious paper in order to justify their ostensible need for it. This risks the evolution, so to speak, of an arms race in biological weaponry; while CRISPR could be used to create exceptionally lethal and destructive diseases, or insert deleterious mutations across populations, it also enables anybody to relatively easily develop cures or counteractions to such maleficent applications (Gronlund). This has yet to occur, which is a miracle in and of itself. On the whole, the ready availability of these proteins provided by Addgene brings both significant risk and significant potential, and so far, humanity hasn’t destroyed itself with it yet.
Addgene does not actively seek small monetary donations. Rather, they operate on the nominal fees charged for providing their proteins, and finance their broader development by the sponsorships of multiple larger organizations. Getting involved is easy: order some proteins! Addgene’s mission is the enhancement of scientific research into CRISPR, and by conducting one’s own research and utilizing their services, Addgene, along with all of humanity, benefits. It is to be just a short time now before almost all diseases are readily curable, thanks to the services of Addgene, similar organizations, and the efforts of CRISPR researchers, and there are plenty of discoveries yet to be made.
Addgene is just one service in a constellation of many such services, each of which provides the various biotechnologies required to operate CRISPR. By patronizing Addgene and purchasing capsids, plasmids, or simply by downloading DNA and conducting research into it, one can make their contribution to any number of fields. Would you like to cure cancer? Perhaps you would prefer to clean up an oil spill. Maybe generating oodles of free methane is more your bag! Whatever it is you would like to accomplish, if it can be done by manipulating DNA with CRISPR, you will likely find yourself placing an order with Addgene eventually. Thanks to Addgene, tools that would otherwise be locked away behind a university’s lab doors, and months of careful work, are readily available. Never before in history has such advanced technology been made so freely available. Start your research and secure your place in history today!

NOTES:
- This was written at a very early stage of the pandemic, with limited information. The saving grace against the dire outcomes described below turned out to be T-cell immunity, which was proven to be important some time later. CD8+ T-cells are capable of clearing infected, immunoprivileged cells. The world wasn’t ending after all. Thank God for that!
- Note: This was originally posted on medium.com, and was censored. New information has since come to light, so while the general idea of this article is still correct, some of the details are out of date. For instance, it has since been discovered that COVID’s main mechanism of attack is the destruction of hemoglobin. Nevertheless, I am leaving the article up in its entirety for posterity. Please see the Treatments and Cures page for more up-to-date, scientifically proven, reliable information. With the acute and chronic symptoms of an incredibly lethal hodge-podge of common-knowledge vectors, and indefinite, constant reinfection, COVID-19 will approach an eventual mortality rate of 100%.
- AUTHOR’S NOTE: 100% reinfection, and thus 100% mortality, is based on two factors: all four quarantined doctors were reinfected during continuous quarantine, and the virus invades nerves in the same manner as HSV, which indicates to me that full recovery is impossible. There may be other explanations and I certainly hope that this is wrong. 100% mortality has not yet been observed in the wild.
- Underlined words are links to sources.
PRELUDE
A lot of words have been spilled about COVID-19 over the past few weeks. It is a shame, truly, that during the critical moments of this crisis’ first emergence, the power of the US Congress, media attention, and the President were all focused on a doomed impeachment. That impeachment may have been made on valid grounds — as demonstrated by the completely chaotic non-reaction we’re seeing from the Trump administration — but the timing, particularly the wildly inappropriate 28 day hold by Nancy Pelosi, ensured that nobody — not the people, and not the government — was paying attention when it was time to act.
With that said, this virus is incredibly lethal. While theories about bioweaponry may or may not have merit, the virus’ stunning combination of symptoms, targets, infection vectors and mutations cause absolute mayhem in the body. At first pass, the lungs are attacked; this leads to pneumonia, the degree to which is dependent on several factors, including race, gender, and age. The damage to the lungs is caused by the immune system being induced to overreact with cytokine storms, with T cells ordering what amounts to a tactical strike on themselves, and the surrounding tissue, in order to kill the virus. That damage also reaches the heart, causing inflammation and tissue damage. During the course of initial infection, the virus also infects nerve cells, which are almost entirely out of the immune system’s reach.
THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
This is where it gets interesting. The ability to infect nerve cells is, while not unheard of, extremely rare. It is common knowledge that HSV integrates itself into nerve cells, effectively “hiding” beyond the reach of the immune system. HIV similarly hides in immune CD4+ T-cells and remains latent for years. Herpes is mildly symptomatic; breakouts occur occasionally, the immune system handles them, and the virus remains dormant. HIV, through a different mechanism, acts similarly, remaining dormant and latent for so long as the immune system, and any medical treatments, can keep it in check.
Neither of these diseases, however, cause such severe symptoms while in latency. SARS-CoV-2 acts very differently. Rather than remaining dormant, it continues to replicate, spreading throughout nerve tissue, no longer vulnerable to the immune system. While doing so, it also spreads back into the body and causes reinfection, 100% of the time. Due to the way the virus attacks CD4 immune cells, in the same manner as HIV, the body is unable to develop immunity. Reinfection is just as deadly, perhaps moreso, and inevitable. Heart damage continues, and can be lethal. Pneumonia is actually milder upon reinfection, as the immune system is largely exhausted.
REINFECTION
However, by the time reinfection occurs, SARS-CoV-2 has reached the spinal cord, and begun infecting the brainstem. This is where it gets really hairy. The brainstem controls, among other functions, autonomic breathing. The loss of the brainstem is effectively the death of the patient; however, as the brainstem is largely concerned with autonomic functions, we may not even notice initially. COVID-19 patients in critical care were noted to be “unable to breathe spontaneously.” This occurs in 100% of patients.
This is a problem.
Before we go on, let’s recap the transmissiblity of this virus. It is carried in both droplets and aerosolized in exhaled air from asymptomatic patients: it is found in stool: it survives on surfaces for up to 9 days. It is effectively the common cold, in that most people will eventually get it.
With that said, what we find ourselves with is a virus that causes heart inflammation, viral pneumonia, and brain damage, hides in the nooks and crannies of our bodies to reinfect us indefinitely, and is as transmissible as the common cold.
WHAT CAN WE DO?
It is well past time in the United States for a complete, total lockdown. This virus cannot be allowed to grow exponentially. With such misleadingly less-severe cases, the proverbial ocean around the iceberg will, very soon, drain, and we will see the full scope of an exponentially spreading, ultra lethal virus. Trials cannot be allowed to go on for 12 months or more. Treatments of various kinds exist, and are being tested to good results. Enough is enough. This virus is so incredibly lethal that it is quite debatable whether the world will still exist by the time these studies are completed.
While we wait for the CDC and their months of regulatory red tape to work through, nearly all of us do, or soon will, have the most lethal virus the world has ever seen slowly making its way up our spinal column. Withholding these treatments amounts to deliberate, bureaucratically administered genocide. By the time COVID-19 rears its ugly head in full view, with people spontaneously dying in the streets around us, it will be far too late.
IS THERE A CURE?
Not yet.
The fact that SARS-CoV-2 hides in the nervous system means that if we were able to cure this, we would also be able to cure herpes simplex virus, and potentially HIV. With little ability to reach or impede the virus once it has begun its journey toward the brainstem, curing this disease may rely on a moonshot genetic engineering effort, employing CRISPR as it has never been used before. On the bright side, if we survive the coronavirus, HIV and HSV will also be fully curable.
WHAT ELSE?
With a similar mechanism to antiviral protease inhibitors, zinc supplements have been proven to slow the progression of normal coronavirus infection. Vitamin C is being distributed by Chinese authorities to improve immune function. Guaifenesin may lessen the impact of pneumonia. With the virus spreading by aerosol from asymptomatic carriers, avoiding all close contact in public spaces is also vital.
Honestly, though, this has already been pandemic under the radar for some time, and it stands to reason that you, and everyone around you, probably have the virus already.
The cure will come. Whether it comes in time to save us all… we will see.

The next few days represent a critical turning point that will determine whether EVERYONE gets this, or whether only most people get it. Whatever comes next must be done well, so let’s try to get on the same page, because we would really rather not do this alone. We need each other. Now, more than ever.
IS IT CORONAVIRUS? SARS-COV-2? COVID-19?
The virus is called SARS-CoV-2. It causes the disease symptoms collectively known as COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 stands for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, Coronavirus 2.
Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that cause the common cold, as well as SARS, MERS, and others.
COVID-19 IS JUST A FLU THOUGH, RIGHT?
It’s a cold. Plus AIDS. (link) With a side of lethal brain damage. (link) And the bottomless wine throughout your entire meal is severe pneumonia. (link)
AIDS? HAH. IF YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, YOU WOULD’VE SAID HIV.
HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. HIV causes the disease symptoms known as AIDS. AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, and occurs when your immune system is exhausted (link). It is always lethal, usually in a short time.
COVID-19 does not cause HIV.
It causes AIDS.
WAIT… WHAT?
Oh, you heard me this time.
Yes, SARS-CoV-2 causes AIDS. (link) [ https://web.archive.org/web/20210417081938/https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.18.20024364v1 ]
THAT’S NOT REALLY AIDS. YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS ALWAYS DEPLETED WHEN YOU FIGHT A VIRUS. DUH.
Correct.
SO … IT’S NOT AIDS, YOU LIAR.
HIV depletes the immune system because it never goes away. HIV is retroviral, which means it enters your DNA, permanently. This causes the virus to be endlessly produced, and your immune system can never eradicate it. Herpes similarly cannot be eradicated by the body, but because it infects nerve cells. I’m sure you already know all this.
What you don’t know is that COVID-19 also infects nerve cells! (link) [ https://web.archive.org/web/20210417081938/https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/jmv.25728 ]
WAIT, WHAT?
So, let’s summarize. This virus is permanent, and it causes AIDS.
WELL… THAT SOUNDS BAD.
And better. (link)
And better. (link)
Now that you’ve read all those links, you may be starting to get an idea just how bad this is.
But it gets better. (link)
BUT THE OFFICIAL CASE COUNT IS ONLY …
BUT THE OFFICIAL DEATH RATE IS ONLY …
No. (link) What did we learn before?
COVID-19 is permanent.
Also, the WHO has been gradually increasing that number. Presently it stands at 3.4%. (link) I’m sure you remember the days of 2%. (link), or the days between. (link) Maybe you believe Trump, who puts it under 1%.
BUT THERE’S ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO RECOVERED.
Who, exactly? Where? This man and his daughter coughing their way through an interview on the topic? (link)
You don’t recover from COVID-19. At least, not for long.
… BUT WAIT …
Yes.
You probably have COVID-19. (link)
BUT WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE IT?
Hide.
I NEED TO HIDE.
Yes. You do. Do not leave your house for any reason. (link) Including panic-buying groceries. It’s too late at this point. If you must …
Don’t wait for the government to tell you it’s time to act. It is time to act. If you are lucky enough to not have been infected yet, STAY HOME. The music has stopped, and now you must sit down, and wait, and watch.
Good luck.
I HAVE SOME OTHER STUPID QUESTIONS.
THE FLU KILLS 100 PEOPLE A MINUTE WORLDWIDE. THAT’S ACCEPTABLE, BUT IT IS NOT ERADICATED, NO MORE THAN THE SO-CALLED COMMON COLD.
The current, official Coronavirus infection numbers just passed 100,000. The current, official death number is about 3400. The currently publicized mortality rate is 3.4%.
Death is not instant.
The official numbers are wishful thinking, and the result of test unavailability.
DIDN’T IT TAKE 3 MONTHS TO ARRIVE AT 100,000+ CASES OF COVID-19?
See above.
IS IT WRONG OF ME TO COMPARE THAT TO 1 MILLION+ CASES OF THE FLU IN THE US ALONE IN THE SAME TIME FRAME?
Yes, it is. It is very wrong. The flu has been spreading since October 2019. SARS-CoV-2 is estimated to have arrived in the US in mid January, and has been spreading uncontrolled and undetected for six weeks. Tests are slowly just becoming available in the US.
I HEARD THAT ONLY (SOME RACIAL GROUP) WERE SUSCEPTIBLE TO COVID-19?
Pulmonary fibrosis occurs due to severe pneumonia. Some racial groups have higher or lower prevalence of a cell receptor called ACE2, and SARS-CoV-2 expresses high affinity for ACE2. The less ACE2 you have, the less severe pneumonia you may suffer per infection. This makes very little difference in the short, or long, term.
THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA IS HYPING THIS! WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY SAY?
The saying, “Even a broken clock is right two times a day,” applies here.
Yes, MSM has been Fake News for the most of the last five years, so your apprehension about believing a word they say now is very understandable. However, there is very good reason for them to be concerned. I hope, having read the science, that you agree.
MSM IS JUST TRYING TO MAKE TRUMP LOOK BAD. AGAIN.
Yes, they are. They absolutely are. Up to this point, they have been crying wolf for the last four years. Well, the wolf is here.
I have been very surprised by the number of times I have heard someone dismiss the severity of COVID-19, simply because that person read about it from a mainstream news outlet.
I hope, having read the science, that you are now aware of what’s happening.
THE VIRUS HAS ONLY EXISTED FOR 9 WEEKS. THAT’S NOT ENOUGH TIME TO COMMISSION A STUDY, NEVER MIND PUBLISH YOUR CONCLUSIONS. YOU’RE PUSHING FEAR PORN. YOUR PEER-REVIEWED STUDIES DO NOT APPLY TO COVID-19.
COVID-19 has been loose in China since December 10, 2019 (link)
Wuhan was locked down on Jan 25th, 2019. (link)
The full genome was released on Jan 28th, 2019. (link)
I am writing this as of March 9th, 2020.
People can work quickly when lives are on the line.
Is there more than one strain of Coronavirus?
The S strain is the first detected Coronavirus. The L strain is a mutation. Both are horrifyingly lethal.
I DON’T BELIEVE YOU. IT’S NOT 100% LETHAL. THE MORTALITY RATE IS (SOMETHING%). THAT’S STILL A TINY PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE.
Alright, let’s entertain the official numbers then.
3.4% of 330 million people is … 11.2 million people.
Also, that is the case fatality rate, or CFR — deaths of people whose conditions required hospitalization.
As of Feb 25th, critical hospitalization was required in 14.8% of cases. (link)
The US is currently preparing for 96 million cases. (link) Given what we know, this is very optimistic, but let’s run with it.
14.8% of 96 million cases is … 14.2 million people that require critical care.
The US has 924,107 total hospital beds. (link) The large majority of these beds are not critical care beds with mechanical respirators available. This represents the complete breakdown of our health system, and a much, much higher mortality rate.
SURE, BUT THAT’S STILL NOT EVERYONE.
14.8% of 96 million people is … 14.2 million people that will go without access to required critical care and die.
If you’re happy to sacrifice 14.2 million lives as no big deal, then I am glad you are not taking this seriously. Please disregard this article and carry on with life as usual.
SURELY THE GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE TOLD US IF WE NEEDED TO WORRY.
Okay. You keep waiting. Hope that works out for you.
THE WHO SEEMS TO BE ON TOP OF THIS AND THEY SAID…
Tuesday (Feb 4, 2020), WHO chief @DrTedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that “widespread travel bans and restrictions weren’t needed to stop the outbreak and could ‘have the effect of increasing fear and stigma, with little public health benefit.” (link)
They have changed their tune. (link)
TRUMP SEEMS TO BE ON TOP OF THIS AND HE SAID…
Trump just declared “Mission Accomplished” & is out saying that this could actually be a net positive for America, because “a lot of people are staying in our country, and they’re shopping and using our hotels in this country. So from that standpoint, I think probably there’s a positive impact.” (link)
Then today he tweeted this.
ANY MORE STUPID QUESTIONS?
You can ask me at @veryvirology.
WAIT — WHAT ABOUT A CURE? I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU SAID YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD CURE THIS?
I know some very smart people that know some other very smart people, and my research is in their hands. Time is very short, and my fundraiser for a lab was not at all well received, so it’s really too late to do it myself now. My goal now is to reach the established professionals with the resources, workspaces and the professional contacts to put this cure into development.
If you know of any such professionals, please put them in touch with me at @veryvirology

Hello Anthony ,
This is how the virus was created .
Inte rvirion Fusion. HIV-luc(ACE2) (500 ng ofp24) was mixed with 1,000 ng of p24
of HIV-gfp particles incorporating ASLV-A envelope, SARS-CoV S prote in, or
both envelopes in PBS at 4 °C for 30 min to allow bind ing. Samples were raised to
37°C for 15 min to allow for conformational rearrangements. Virions were adjus ted
to the desired pH with 0.1 M citric acid. PBS, TPCK-trypsin (final concentration 10
~tg/ml), CTSL , cathepsin B (CTSB) (fina l concentrations 2 ~tg/ml) or CTSL buffer
alone was then added . Recombinant CTSL (R &D Systems) was preactivated by
incubat ion for 15 min at 10 μg/ml in 50 mM Mes, pH 6.0, on ice. Recombinant
CTSB (R &D Systems) was preactiv ated in 25 mM Mes, 5 mM OTT, pH 5.0, for 30
min at 25°C. After a 10-min incubation at 25°C, proteolysis was hal ted by the
addition of 300 μ1 ofDMEMIO conta ining leupept in (25 μg/ml) and STI (75 μg/ml).
Virions were then incubated at 37°C for 30 min to allow membrane fusion. 100 μl of
the virion mixture was added in quadrupl icate to HeLa- Tva cells pretreated for 1 h
with leupepti n (20 ~tg/ml). The cells were spin-infect ed and incubated at 37°C for 5

AbstractSevere acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is caused by an emergent coronavirus (SARS-CoV), for which there is currently no effective treatment. SARS-CoV mediates receptor binding and entry by its spike (S) glycoprotein, and infection is sensitive to lysosomotropic agents that perturb endosomal pH. We demonstrate here that the lysosomotropic-agent-mediated block to SARS-CoV infection is overcome by protease treatment of target-cell-associated virus. In addition, SARS-CoV infection was blocked by specific inhibitors of the pH-sensitive endosomal protease cathepsin L. A cell-free membrane-fusion system demonstrates that engagement of receptor followed by proteolysis is required for SARS-CoV membrane fusion and indicates that cathepsin L is sufficient to activate membrane fusion by SARS-CoV S. These results suggest that SARS-CoV infection results from a unique, three-step process: receptor binding and induced conformational changes in S glycoprotein followed by cathepsin L proteolysis within endosomes. The requirement for cathepsin L proteolysis identifies a previously uncharacterized class of inhibitor for SARS-CoV infection.

Adam Gaertner lives in Arizona, USA, the heartland of America. He and his wife were running a web agency business creating touristic related websites. That business came to a standing halt with the pandemic and the lockdown. As for many other citizens, Adam had a lot of time on its hand and some serious interest into virology. Curiosity lead him to first try to understand what this virus was about, its form, its origin, its likely consequences on our body and what treatment could potentially cure Covid-19, the disease associated with the Sars-Cov2 virus.
In this complete debriefing, Adam explains how from February 2020, he was in touch with a Wuhan specialist, a woman, that provided him with a few hundred pages of research documents so that he could continue his quest. According to him, some of this documents revealed information about the virus, its implications for humans, among other information. This led him to exchange emails with Dr Fauci, which can be found on page 2286 of the Fauci Leaks [see the archives at [HG00D0][GDrive] ] . For instance, he sent Dr Fauci a formula of how Sars-Cov-2 could potentially be made, although he recognises that it had a lot of modified data. Few responses from Dr Fauci.
Using the information he had, he devised a potential treatment with a high dosage of vitamin C that he believes should be drip fed.
He and his wife caught the covid-19 in February/March 2020 and they experienced that treatment at various dosages before finding an optimum loading dose. However this was not sufficient because, as they decreased the dosage, the disease was coming back. Through some analysis of these documents and their research, they looked at the impact of the virus on the various organs of the human body, then looked for diseases that would impact the same organs – and associated treatment. That’s how in March of 2020, they came up with the idea of ivermectine.
The information was shared on his websites and social networks in order to spread the info with the added difficulty that, as he is not from the medical nor scientific field, he was faced with the barrier of credibility – the famous “who are you to come and tell us what we should do”.
Anyhow, from then on, he managed one way or another to get in touch with a number of doctors (Zelenko, Urso, Kory) in the United States, and also abroad, to speak about ivermectine. It was a special touch when he found out on facebook that some doctors wanted to have him nominated for a Nobel peace prize.
If you want to know more about it, and how Dr Urso spoke to vice president Pence about ivermectine in July 2020, watch this debriefing.
The biggest lesson learnt from that experience is around collective intelligence, as it is individual research linked with peer and third party reviews that helped in the process. If you have something interesting, one day someone will listen to you, never give up.
