An Alternate Approach To Stopping Mosquitoes That Spread Zika – Using CRISPR To Make Them Resistant To Carrying It

Posted by on Jan 28, 2021 in Technology | Comments Off on An Alternate Approach To Stopping Mosquitoes That Spread Zika – Using CRISPR To Make Them Resistant To Carrying It

The mosquitoes that carry zika, like Aedes aegypti, are considered by all but the most activist ecologists to be useless disease vectors. There is nothing they do in nature that isn't easily done by other mosquitoes and they can safely join the 99.999999999% of species that have gone extinct without causing a cascade of doom. 

Seriously, Send me your hate mail, @ me on Twitter, try to cancel me, I don't care, that is absolutely correct. They are ecologically useless and have survived despite that, because evolution is not always fair.

The First 3D Printed House Is On The Market, And It Still Costs $300,000

Posted by on Jan 26, 2021 in Technology | Comments Off on The First 3D Printed House Is On The Market, And It Still Costs $300,000

If you are thinking you might buy a Creality 3-D printer to save money making stuff at home, a new MLS listing may make you change your mind. It is the first 3D-printed home to get a government permit in the United States and is on sale for a whopping $299,999.

The house $213 per square foot, and you are so far from Manhattan you might as well live in Scranton, but whether it sells right away or not is less important than the proof-of-concept. The hook is that it was printed on site using SQ4D's Autonomous Robotic Construction System (ARCS) and they want to get a patent to have robots print houses.

Posted by on Jan 25, 2021 in Technology | Comments Off on Twitter Was Telling The World About COVID-19 When China Was Still Suppressing Information

In January of 2020 we began to write about "coronavirus 2019" due to concern regarding increased cases of pneumonia during a mild flu season, while the Chinese dictatorship was denying there was any problem at all. Just over a week later a key whistleblower in Wuhan, Li Wenliang, turned up dead after being arrested and held prisoner for a month by the communist government for "rumor-mongering."

Poor Kids In Developing Nations Are Geting Fatter Too – Because Food Is More Affordable

Posted by on Jan 22, 2021 in Public Health | Comments Off on Poor Kids In Developing Nations Are Geting Fatter Too – Because Food Is More Affordable

In 1975, four percent of school-age kids were overweight and the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration says that was up to 18 percent in 2016. Like with smoking and alcoholism, obesity is often a pediatric disease - people who start early are far more likely to keep doing it in adulthood. 

Obese people have shorter life expectancy and risk factors like Type 2 diabetes and heart disease and the easiest indicator for obesity is weight gain.

After suffering 80 percent losses in sugar beet crops due to the yellows virus, and now being free from the EU's activist-dominated politicization of science, the UK has decided to put a halt to the 80 percent decline and reverse course for crops before farmers went bankrupt.

Deaths From COVID-19 Are Different From Other Respiratory Distress, But ICU Practices Are The Same

Posted by on Jan 20, 2021 in Public Health | Comments Off on Deaths From COVID-19 Are Different From Other Respiratory Distress, But ICU Practices Are The Same

If someone elderly with blood clots and cancer treatment dies from respiratory distress, the federal government is generous about calling it a COVID-19 death. Even gunshot victims are considered COVID-19 related if they had tested positive for the virus in the last 30 days. Meanwhile, China has been denying that they have any at all since March, and no one can disprove them because they destroyed the records from the Wuhan lab where they were experimenting with SARS on pangolins and only recently let the World Health Organisation in to look at carefully curated records.

Vaping Flavor Chemicals In Huge Quantities Can Damage Heart Cells In A Dish, But Where Is The Human Relevance?

Posted by on Jan 14, 2021 in Pharmacology | Comments Off on Vaping Flavor Chemicals In Huge Quantities Can Damage Heart Cells In A Dish, But Where Is The Human Relevance?

A new paper claims that people vaping instead of smoking are putting their hearts at risk but their study does not show that. Instead, they mixed chemicals in Petri dishes with heart cells and used mice. Both of those are fine exploratory experiments but they are scientifically invalid to make the conclusions the authors make in their press release.
