  • Having a heterozygous deletion is still effecting the right gene. Without knowing both of her parents genetics it’s hard to say if it was natural. What he did could produce either a heterozygous or homozygous result on the gene, but only the homozygous presentation is effective at prevention.

    So 1 was a full success and the other showed activation on the appropriate gene, but not enough to confer resistance. Although it is possible it does since he used an artificial gene. We know the natural one is not effective in a heterozygous presentation. I still think that was his greatest mistake. He should have just used the naturally effective gene.

    You do make a good point with the full backing rigor of the scientific method this procedure would always be successful.

    Per the wikipedia page it states that it is not clear if it effective because they’re not going to intentionally infect the children to test it. But we see the results specifically on the targeted gene. That’s a success and demonstrates the technology works.

    I’d argue the folly was inserting an artificial gene as opposed to the natural gene that we already know works. Either way the technology showed expression on the correct gene, that is a success.

    We’d be having a better discourse on this if his results weren’t banned from every journal and not studied.










  • I’m also planning to use an ecoflow. Unfortunately I don’t want to do a roof mount so when I need to charge it I’m hand moving panels into the yard.

    I have the 1kwh one, reportedly it can run a fridge for at least 8 hours. With 2 300 watt solar panels during the day it can run the fridge and charge up enough to power phones too. It is capable of charging and discharging at the same time









  • Sure we can spend all day defining words, but that’s obtuse. You very well know what I meant. Not turning an active flight around is magnitudes different than continuing arrests and deportation after a court order.

    A justification requires at least some pretense of a reason. Just because you want to is a statement.

    Once again, it’s not a cope to acknowledge that things are bad now and they can get worse. I’m going to protests, I’ve stopped all discretionary spending, and I tell my story to anyone that will listen (my work has been directly impacted). Hell I haven’t spoken to my Trump voting father in months. Short of taking arms against the government there’s not much left to do, and frankly to get to that level the milestones on the way to the bottom do matter a lot.
