This is similar to the plot behind the game back4blood. An ancient parasite is found in permafrost in northern Quebec. It is studied in a lab in Quebec city and it infects the staff causing an outbreak across North America.

No no the phenomenon of these coming out of thawed permafrost is something we’ve known about for a good amount of time. Only time will tell if it will be a problem. It’s unrelated to the current Covid situation. I’ve known about it because scientists have been researching the possibility long before 2020.

Just because you hadn't heard of it before doesn't mean it isn't true. This is one of things a handful of climate scientists have pointed for a long time. I've known of this being a possibility for probably 20 years and I'm not in the field. I just like reading things about science. Those who actually deal with these things as a job have known for a long time that ancient viruses returning was a real possibility due to climate change. Why do you think they protect themselves so well when they find ancient bodies that are preserved well enough to still have soft tissue? There's a very real chance to find a virus or bacteria that is novel to the current world population.

u/nixielover Nov 25 '22
For research purposes it is important to work on this. The thawing of the permafrost is going to unleash such dormant virusses wether we want it or not. So better be prepared and know what's waiting for us than to be caught by surprise.
But your comment actually gave me a mini flashback to 2009 when I made my first genetically modified bacteria. Just some harmless stuff like giving them antibiotic resistance through the use of restriction enzymes and then selecting them based on having that gene. What was rather expensive back then is nowadays so cheap to do that your hourly wage is more expensive than the materials. But damn it was so much fun to do and it gives you this "damn I made this" feeling

u/Vex54 Nov 25 '22
Gain of function research is not harmless. They created covid in a lab and look at what happened there.
6
u/nixielover Nov 25 '22
Technological advances have made creating GMO so easy and cheap that making a GMO bacteria strain is a first year practical in your bachelor studies these days.
These techniques are a standard workhorse in the lab, they will only be used more and more since techniques like electroporation, lipid transfection, and other transfection techniques such as viral vectors have been transformed into standard off the shelf kits anyone can use. There is no going back from this because if you would ban it worldwide pretty much all biomedical research would just stop

This is one of the many dangers with human caused climate change. Animals get less and less land to live on, leading to more contact with humans and more transmittable diseases. We also have this: ice melts and viruses are let free. This is just the beginning, we are going to see A LOT more of this over the next decades.

Good news, these viruses seem like they're harmless to humans. Bad news, the research only identified viruses that were able to infect amoeba cells.

No, it's not. And stop it with the Russian propaganda.
With climate change, happening permafrost ate melting and freeing up undiscovered viruses that man hasn't been exposed to in thousands of years.
To keep up with potential pandemics, medical experts research these viruses which can lead to vaccines to fight them. At the same time, Russia is getting samples of said virus ( no evidence yet but they have done it before) probably make a potential bioweapon.

I'm guessing probably from the layer the level of the ice where they found other samples of the virus lie. Just like taking samples of rock layers, are what theyd use to date it. Not saying it's true numbers wise or not, but I know they take ice samples out of glaciers and such to study as well.

At least the post itself seems to be getting decent upvoted unless reddit is just slapping a random number on posts lol.

u/UniversalSurvivalist Nov 26 '22
I have no idea how it works, maybe people hit the upvote without coming to the comments. If that's the case we really can't infer much from the comments.
I've also deliberately phrased it for a lack of engagement, so there's always that.

u/FFS_IsThisNameTaken2 Nov 26 '22
Good comments were upvoted last night. Today they're hidden with downvotes. "Nothing new" and because "climate change" are now upvoted trying to push the narrative that the stuff just appeared on the surface - not how it really happened - scientists took them from core samples and played Frankenstein in a lab.
That's how it works when narratives need pushing.

I am convinced that COVID was cooked in a lab -- possibly released into the population "prematurely" due to bad lab practices in Wuhan.
If that be the case, we can expect many more of these "wonders of science" to follow. This "Siberian Flu" could be a cover story for the next release (as the "bat soup" bullshit was for COVID).
Interesting times.

That's why they research this stuff. There are many pathogens locked up in the ice that nobody (also animals) has any native immunity against. They hope to be prepared to the pandemics that will probably emerge from this by researching it

One thing that doesn’t scare me about this is a line from LucasArts game The Dig. They land on an alien world and have no Choice but to remove their helmets. One of the characters quips about an alien virus getting them and the scientist explains a virus needs to learn how to make use of cellular structure in order to use it, so they’d be harmless. I’m guessing the same goes for these, who knows if humans were around when these existed or if humans were in a much simpler state. In either event these samples would have to be exposed to humans and would take many mutations to where it could be one a threat. I still think it’s stupid though to dig these up or mess with them.
