COVID-19’s Biological Politics

[badger2]

If interested, readers can keyword search ‘furin’ at USMB for all of the entries, which we now link to breast cancer and hydroxychloroquine:

May 2021 Russia-China: Furin Re-Education of Macrophages / Breast Cancer Hydroxychloroquine / Nanogold

Furin-instructed aggregated gold nanoparticles for re-educating tumor associated macrophages and overcoming breast cancer chemoresistance - PubMed

Insufficient drug accumulation and chemoresistance remain two major challenges in cancer chemotherapy. Herein, we designed a furin-responsive aggregated nanoplatform loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) (AuNPs-D&H-R&C) to combine chemotherapy, autophagy inhibition and m …

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

’....In-vitro studies demonstrated the superiority of furin-triggered aggregated gold nanoparticles delivery system....co-delivery of DOX and HCQ showed much improved chemotherapeutic efficiency to chemoresistant MFC-7/ADR breast tumor.’

In passing, it is possible that a rubella-like virus once raged amongst the thylacoleonids of Australia. If nature were experimenting with double-uterine animals, it would have been extremely difficult for the mother Wakaleo to find food with cataracts, let alone her young escaping from predators.

 

[badger2]

So, we’ll hold onto the rubella-coronavirus links as we find them.

....
Three days after admission a category III-fetal heart rate tracing was observed and therefore category II-cesarean section (i.e., fetal compromise; not immediately life-threatening) was performed....blood and non-bronchoscopic bronchoaveolar lavage fluid were collected for RT-PCR and both were positive for the E and S genes of SARS-CoV-2....On the third day of life, the neonate suddenly presented with irritability, poor feeding, axial hypertonia and opisthonos: cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was negative for SARS-CoV-2.
....
The neonate presented with neurological manifestations similar to those in adult COVID-19 patients.’

 

[badger2]

The article continues:

’Fig. 1 Tachycardia absent baseline variability, absence of accelerations with recurrent prolonged and late decelerations. These findings are highly suggestive of a pathological category III-fetal heart rate tracing, which is strongly associated with adverse neonatal outcome. This cardiogram was recorded 26 minutes before the cesarean section.
....
A classification for the case definition of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnant women, fetuses and neonates has recently been released and we suggest to follow it to characterize cases of potential perinatal SARS-CoV-2 transmission. According to this classification system, a neonatal congenital infection is considered proven if the virus is detected inn amniotic fluid collected prior to the rupture of membranes or in blood drawn early in life, so our case fully qualifies as congenitally-transmitted SARS-CoV-2, while the aforementioned cases would be classified as only possible or even unlikely.’

A report from University of New Mexico in 1999 stated no evidence of transplacental hantavirus transmission:

’....No evidence of vertical transmission of Sin Nombre virus was found.’

This 2006 Korean report cites the New Mexican report, but adds a case:

Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome complicated with pregnancy: a case report - PubMed

Hantaviruses cause two forms of human disease: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. Hantavirus infection can occur in pregnant women and it can have an influence on the maternal and fetal outcomes, although this is a rare finding even in endemic areas...

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

’....In Korea, only 8 cases of HFRS (hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome) complicating pregnancy (including the present one) have been reported. Gestational age at time of diagnosis ranged from 15-29 weeks, and none of the reported patients showed evidence of abnormal fetal development, distress or pregnancy complication before presentation. Of these 8 cases, the pregnancies did not achieve full-term in three, and it’s interesting that they were all in the early third trimester of pregnancy when they contracted the disease. These three resulted in intrauterine death, preterm delivery but fetal death after birth, and preterm cesarean section, respectively. Among these cases, only one case of transplacental transmission of Hantaan virus was confirmed, both serologically and pathologically. In the other cases, including our case, the presence of transplacental Hantaan remains unknown because the appropriate fetal laboratory tests were not performed.’

 

[badger2]

In comparison to C-19, the hantavirus trajectory is attractive for multiple reasons, not least of which is the geography of the epidemiology when connecting the dots to the symptoms. In that way, an image builds, of the expression of the SARS-CoV-2 mutations that comprise the variants. Future studies will likely further scrutinize such examples as the number of humans in California infected with the California variants B.1.427 & B.1.429 (the latter, more complexity), while linking them to the statistics for those Californians who died after receiving the vaccine. In this way, underlying conditions will link to the genes (and the amino acids [italics]) the virus uses to escape immune surveillance.

For the intriguing placental aspects of hantavirus, we note that it as a Michigan female, though the gender is not mentioned in Nevada:

Wakaleo was a thylacoleonid. Note the markings of a thylacoleonid. It is suggested is that they were once infected by rubivirus-like viruses and coronaviruses:

[badger2]

In post #378 of this thread (27 May 2021), calcium signaling caught the eye for Kawasaki disease, and this was due to recalling some time ago, a certain Wisconsin female who always seemed to be walking with a purpose. First intuition was that the purpose had something to do with calcium metabolism. Over a year later, that suspicion was reinforced today when investigating the Thylacoleonid trajectory. Thylacoleonids may have been predatory for wombats, and as well, may be distantly related. The transfer of viruses can happen in this way, and there is genetic evidence for a human-wombat link to calcium metabolism and the genes of both, as will be shown.

Concerning the uniqueness of the deletions in the Delta variant of COVID-19, we stated in post #467: ‘By one estimation, these deletions seem to be acting like an inherited human gene disorder.’

We note that the Chinese were molesting wombats in Australia, and Australians used to call wombats ‘badgers.’

’....Possible causes for the lesions, including sclerosing bone dysplasia, acquired syndromes causing hyperostosis, and metabolic diseases typical of animals in captivity, are discussed.’

We believe that the Wisconsin female was walking for the exercise that opposes the tendency linked to the captivity-induced hyperostotic symptom, just as in Australian ‘badgers’ or even captive tigers.

Further investigating the calcium metabolism trajectory, a linking deletion in a gene was found, as well as a link to BDNF in addition to COVID-19 vaccines that use an adenovirus vector:
