James F. Lyons-Weiler (born 1967)

Lyons-Weiler worked as an assistant professor and co-director of the Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at the University of Massachusetts Lowell from 2000-2002. He then served as faculty at the University of Pittsburgh from 2003-2009.

Controversies

Lyons-Weiler has been making numerous claims about COVID-19, and about vaccines in general for years.[4][5][6][7]

He claimed in February 2020 that a specific genetic sequence INS1378 in the SARS-CoV-2 genome was sufficiently close to pShuttle-SN - an engineered sequence - to prove that the virus was probably engineered in a laboratory. This claim was repeatedly discredited by researchers and fact-checkers.[8] The sequences were only 67% similar and one paper demonstrated that over 100 bat coronaviruses had closer matches to INS1378 than pShuttle-SN.[8] The even more inaccurate claim that SARS-CoV-2 contained pShuttle-SN was, however, spread widely by Infowars and others.[8]

His WordPress blog, Science, Public Health Policy and the Law claims to be a scientific journal, with an advisory board consisting of three other prominent anti-vaccine personalities.

There is a false dichotomy separating Americans being used by those who profit from vaccines to argue that Science does not support a person's religious position on vaccines.

Watch these two PhDs - one religious, one not - explore the topic and come out at the end still caring for and about each other.
