I was chatting with an endometriosis expert, in Sydney for a conference, who said: “It's very strange; in the last couple of years, we've started seeing malignant transformation of endometriosis in young women.” I replied, “SARS-CoV-2 is possibly an oncovirus”.

Here we go...
RED ALARM on H5N1. Data dump late last night from the BC teen shows that the sequence has picked up the necessary mutation needed for adequate transmission among human hosts. It’s got PB2 E627K. The same mutation that 1918 Spanish influenza had. We’re going to have a pandemic.

Buckle up.
