And that is all you need to know about the Surging Arcturus.
Just as 5 Eyes (and one nose in the form of Switzerland) in unison stopped reporting their cases completely since the last weekend, so that you won’t be able to compare to them in this latest “surge”:
France is sticking out like a sore thumb. Isn’t that odd? How come Macron didn’t get the message?
P.S. The comments section below just dug out collectively this additional fact:
Nov. 1, 2022: "Acrturus announced collaboration with CSL todevelop and commercialize self-amplifying mRNAvaccines."
A 5′ cap (m7G) and poly A tail are common to all RNA transcripts. A Conventional mRNAs encode the vaccine immunogen and flanking 5′ and 3′ UTRs. An antigen or immunotherapy is translated from the nonreplicating transcript. B Self-amplifying RNA encodes 5′ and 3′ CSE sequences, the nsP1-4 genes, a subgenomic promoter, and the vaccine immunogen. Following in situ translation, the nsP1-4 proteins form an RdRP complex which recognizes flanking CSE sequences and amplifies vaccine-encoding transcripts. This results in an accumulation of the antigen or immunotherapy within the cell. C Trans-amplifying mRNAs use two different transcripts to achieve a similar effect to self-amplifying RNAs. A conventional mRNA encoding the nsP1-4 genes flanked by 5′ and 3′ UTRs is co-delivered with a separate transcript that encodes the viral CSE sequences, the subgenomic promoter, and the vaccine immunogen. In situ translation of the conventional mRNA results in the formation of the RdRP complex, which subsequently amplifies the vaccine-encoding transcript to result in the accumulation of the antigen or immunotherapy. UTR untranslated region, CSE conserved sequence elements, nsP1–4 nonstructural proteins 1–4, RdRP RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
Arcturus - I thought I knew that name...
The name Artcurus comes from the Greek meaning "the keeper or guardian of the bear"
The brightest star in the Boötes aka Herdsman constellation.
Interesting choice of name for this latest twist in the tale.
Thanks for the heads up Andreas.
Nothing better than great sarcasm
