What Is Omicron?
The mutations that were recorded in this new creature, Omicron, were heavily biased in the direction of mutations that actually changed the protein sequence. The usual ratio in the other variants was less than 1 percent. And it was like 80 percent in Omicron. So what does that even mean? What is Omicron? Where did it come from?"
In this 159th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
This week, we discuss how to predict things that reliably turn out to be true, especially in the public health sphere: use the scientific method, employ a generalist toolkit, and engage in campfire conversations. We also talk about the Project Veritas video of a Pfizer executive discussing what Pfizer may be discussing, Pfizer’s official response to that video, and what the implications are societally and scientifically, and how this might be framed using Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
