I'm shocked. SCHOCKED, I TELL YOU!!!

Dr. Robert W. Malone's avatar

Gambling at Rick’s Cafe level shocked?

Barry Morgan's avatar

Thanks Drs. Malone. Outstanding report and conclusions and proof-of AI Value.

Personal to me because my infant son spent days in Stanford Hospital with Dx: Bronchiolitis. I’ve always assumed RSV and that it was Endemic.

Some parent guilt because his mother and I both worked on the Cell Biology corridor separated only by a single door from the Small Animal Research module. Comtainment standard of the day was cotton lab coats, automatic door, and No Odor Control.

Animal Research was limited to inflamation and assay of antiinflamatory drug candidates but there was an annual All Hands/Labs assay “month” in our wing to process beef organs for steriod residual from our (Syntex’s) large scale field trials. ( Family dogs feasted on beef liver and kidney).

We did good science but, … different times.

The above personal experience took place in 1980.

Sounds like SRI

So...let's go one step further on RSV. Patients with RSV should be tested for blood value of Vitamin D which is a major component of a whole and vibrant immune system which is the number one defense against all pathogens. I am betting that low D and RSV development go hand in hand. NIH commission the study. You did commission the Women's Health Initiative for $30 million that was fraudulent and was a Lilly initiative to promote their bone density chemo drug. How about one for improving the health of the nation.

I will classify that as good news. And so the VA has been bothering me for a while to take the vaccine, I read through quickly what you wrote here and I’m looking for more clarification about what you feel the current vaccine safety profile is?

Barry Morgan's avatar

I personally believe, the current RSV vaccine would fail a competent Risk/Benefit analysis of general use. I to, would love to see an AI assisted … framework … analysis.

Off the grid here on topics, but just read that Jasmine Crockett lost big time in the Texas Demoncrate primaries.

I've latched onto that new definition for the left side of the coin. Demoncrates, as in they keep acting like Demons and we should crate them away from the US of A!!

Ok way over my pay grade regarding medical scientific studies…but not over my pay grade in business and life…I do not have high confidence in some AI endeavors as it sometimes relies so much on published data…let that sink in…so…if there is a secret hidden can it find it? Perhaps some AI is very helpful but IMO it is not generally the definitive solution.

I appreciate this article though as insightful. Certainly can be useful and like all tools might be watered down over time to yield the answer desired. Like all tools will be manipulated…but that’s not a reason to not use it…just know the limitations. And know it will be manipulated IMO.

Comforting to know RSV was not man made. Viruses are already too efficient at transforming without our help.

I have two questions; The statement that the concluding's indicate natural evolution from animal to human spillover; I don't know if this is a good or bad thing. And this sounds like an endorsement for AI assisted assessment and the reasons why: is this true and necessary for future analysis and perhaps the work of ACIP? Maybe I need to read this again.

Dr. Robert W. Malone's avatar

This is not about the ACIP. This has to do with supporting the State Dept in the area of bioweapons convention treaty compliance monitoring and potential future treaty development of a GOF ban. POTUS wants to see how AI could be used to support this. So this is preliminary data concerning the usefullness of a multi layered approach I have pioneered

Got it, thank you and "good job!" You are way ahead of the field in this use, if you ask me.

LB (Little Birdie)'s avatar

All I can say is i am SO GLAD you, Dr. Malone, have the stamina, the brain and the go to for all this. I would be more than pleased if there are some other ROBUST (in the way of integrity) scientific persons working on all this AI research hand in hand with or in tandem with you.

Thank you for sharing this example of the utility of the analytical system you support.

Certainly an AI system that provides a comprehensive analytical review, applying a six-layer investigative framework, documenting credible evidence of whether a disease process originated in or escaped from a laboratory is of considerable merit.

I think I'm confused as to whether it is able to offer additional utility. For example can elements of its processes indentify threats? Can its analytical process contribute to identification of potential response to a pathogen of concern?

I do appreciate its merits for identifying a breech and likely origins. Can it be used to additional benefits?

Jean's avatar

Reading about your role, as relates to the system and the objectives its designed to contribute to, I think you well document the utility and merits of your system for such purposes.
