Yvonne Barr

Yvonne Barr was born in 1932 in Carlow, Ireland. Barr was a virologist and one of the co-discoverers of Epstein-Barr virus. As a PhD student, Barr helped prepare the samples that uncovered this disease. This was a monumental discovery, since this was the first virus found to cause cancer in humans.

Yvonne Barr died in 2016 at the age of 83.

I’m not a virologist, myself, but….I have questions about 911 S8e15.

Neither Ebola nor HIV are airborne. Why was this virus?

How much of the new altered/super virus had Moira created?

Why would the vial on ice only contain just enough antiviral to cure a man Chimney’s size? Had Moira created a mini-vial for the rat?

Moira hadn’t even dissected the rat. Why was she sure the rat was virus-free and not just no longer symptomatic?

If Chimney was bleeding, wouldn’t that mean he had some organ damage that the antiviral wouldn’t undo?

How do they know Chimney —and that rat— aren’t carriers?

If the supervirus had been entirely contained and destroyed and didn’t exist in nature, would the antiviral vial be worth anything?

Wouldn’t the body in the body bag be too dangerous to carry out like that?

Bueller?

A big yikes question for virologists.

Tornadoes just went through a few covid-19 hot spots in the Southern USA.

What are the chances of contaminated debris spreading the virus?

Had to block a spam bot called sexyvirologist. RIP excellent username, hope you get reincarnated as an account run by an actual virologist (obviously they're all sexy)

Max Theiler was born on January 30, 1899. A South African-American virologist and physician. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1951 for developing a vaccine against yellow fever in 1937, becoming the first African-born Nobel laureate. His team rapidly completed the development of the vaccine, and worked with the Rockefeller Foundation to produce more than 28 million doses of the vaccine, finally ending yellow fever as a major disease. In 1937, Theiler discovered a virus that caused paralysis in mice, the study of which now serves as a standard model for studying multiple sclerosis.

Is Omicron Variant Highly Transferable and Vaccine Resistant?

According to virologists, the Omicron variant is worrisome. It is the most heavily mutated variant to emerge so far and carries mutations similar to changes seen in previous variants of concern associated with enhanced transmissibility and partial resistance to vaccine-induced immunity.
