The hypothesis that the coronavirus jumped from bats to humans via a wild animal sold as a food delicacy in Wuhan's markets has one big problem: covid-19 hasn't been found in any food animal. https://t.co/pAuNuXjunR — PolitiTweet.org

Beauty filters are changing the way young girls see themselves: "[They] were all saying things like, ‘I put this filter on because I have flawless skin. It takes away my scars and spots.’ And these were children of 10 and 11.” https://t.co/a7v2jMnMBl — PolitiTweet.org

👀 READ @biocuriosity’s full story about why the CDC’s $1.75 billion sequencing boom may throw money at the wrong problem. The content of this story was repurposed for Twitter by @Benji_Rosen: https://t.co/QXiDTAp7RU — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
Unless scientists and policymakers ask why they want covid sequences, and how best to put that data to use, genomic surveillance will yield diminishing returns—and much of its potential will likely be wasted. https://t.co/wbSItcG8wd — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
We spoke to a number of sequencing experts with firsthand experience during the pandemic and heard the same from many of them: turning surveillance data into useful knowledge faces enormous legal, political, and infrastructural barriers in the US, some of them insurmountable. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
The CDC says that sequencing can track whether variants have learned to evade vaccines or treatments. But the agency’s surveillance sequencing program doesn’t connect any of its sequences back to the people they came from, whether they were vaccinated, or how sick they got. https://t.co/XxroKpTp6n — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
But despite the increase in genomic sequencing, some public health experts and scientists are now wondering what’s being done with all this information—and how achievable the field’s goals are. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
America should be an excellent place to study the genetic evolution of covid. It has widespread infections, a genetically diverse population, and the largest number of vaccinated individuals in the world. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
Then the relief bill passed in March dedicated an eye-popping $1.75 billion to support nationwide public health programs sequencing “diseases or infections, including covid–19.” — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
Financial and political support came quickly under the new administration, with the CDC’s $200 million “down payment” for sequencing work. https://t.co/ZRkHE67wHL — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
“America is flying blind” quickly became a refrain, not only for scientists seeking support for their work, but for critics of the US response looking for a solvable problem. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
Still, as headlines warned about “mutant coronavirus” spreading “out of control,” politicians and the public demanded to know whether there were “variants of concern” in their own backyards. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
Even in Nov. and Dec., as both the UK and South Africa announced more transmissible strains and Denmark said it would kill 15 million mink to contain a mutation, many scientists and public health organizations argued that the virus was unlikely to escape vaccine-induced immunity — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
The vast majority of covid sequencing in America has been conducted at academic centers. That’s mostly because until recently it was considered an academic pursuit, tracking changes in a virus widely believed to evolve slowly and steadily — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
In mid-December, 51,000 covid genomes from the US had already been decoded and posted in public repositories. That’s seven times the number of flu samples sequenced annually by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. https://t.co/AHOyvseBIy — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
Scientists have been sequencing the genomes of covid samples since the first identified case in Wuhan; the first mRNA vaccines were built using genetic code released publicly by Chinese scientists in January. And it’s been done at an unprecedented scale. https://t.co/AHOyvrX0jY — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
The answer, Zients suggested, was to “do the appropriate amount of genomic sequencing, which will allow us to spot variants early, which is the best way to deal with any potential variants.” https://t.co/HNx6ZXxsB7 — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
“We’re 43rd in the world in genomic sequencing,” said Zients at a press conference in January. “Totally unacceptable.” — PolitiTweet.org

Shortly after President Biden was inaugurated, the man in command of Biden’s coronavirus response, Jeff Zients, had a message about what America needed to do. https://t.co/HNx6ZXxsB7 — PolitiTweet.org

This is a thread about how the @CDCgov is pumping $1.75 billion of covid relief into genomic sequencing—and how it may be throwing money at the wrong problem. https://t.co/QXiDTAp7RU — PolitiTweet.org
