The lack of standardization in wastewater sampling, let alone the manner of deductions potentially arrived at by agencies preoccupied first and foremost, with their own relevance, aligns perfectly with a generation of recent graduates trained in the arts of looking busy.

There's garbage that masquerades as science and then there's pure garbage. So torn on this one.

But the wastewater models were super helpful to the New York Times hit job on Dr Malone where the poop hunting wench "Dr Angie Rasmussen" was quoted as a pandemic expert.

I had a memory of slum dog millionaire boy falling into the shit pile, then once read the article realised I wasted my time, one wonders if these experts chase down wild deer and see what variants are in their droppings also,

It is good that Dr.Bossche devoted his time on assessment of this important topic – wastewater-based epidemiology, that shall gain more recognition and trigger more discussions among epidemiologists worldwide. Dr.Bossche is well aware that due to incubation period of any pathogen wastewater monitoring is a useful tool for deriving clinically significant data/predictions before their onset. And Dr.Bossche also correctly pointed out that any predictions derived from wastewater monitoring are localised and limited to symptom onset, if any. And Dr.Bossche shall not deny that monitoring of any non-virulent virus such as SC2 that may not even manifest in symptomatic form is much easier and less invasive than constant nasopharyngeal swab insertion population wide.

I wonder when Dr.Bossche shall admit that SC2 is not virulent an shall not gain considerable virulence intrinsically simply because any severity in case of C19 is caused by overreactive immune response and SC2 may gain any additional pathogenic capacity from overreactive immune response in form of non-neutralizing antibody enhanced replication, non-sterlizing immune pressure meditated tissue tropism or otherwise. SC2 can’t gain more pathogenic capacity intrinsically – from mutations, even with super-glycan shields.

And what of the bipedal spike protein factories that present a potential, perhaps even a constant potential, to the watershed?

(further to your astute line of thought- and without the slightest interest in appearing 'cheeky', Dr. Bossche... Any relation to Lambe? )

Zoonotic reservoir monitoring is good for phylogenetic surveillance, but for disease prognoses and statistical analysis the sample size is too small to make general conclusions in comparison to the wastewater monitoring.

Although a spillover may occur, I would argue that human contact with livestock and pets is rather a constant boost/training of the immunity, instead of constant threat to health.

If Duckman where analyzing human wastewater for specific analogs he'd be looking for what?

Corona fragments to amplify as much as was needed to say what exactly?

To the efficacy of wastewater testing -

Chemicals, antibiotics, cholera..

yeah yeah yeah

But c'mon..

until it's standardized in plain language

It's voodoo

Public Health is a Public Menace until further notice.

Quack!

Criticism and curiosity are different sides of the same coin of scientific development. Keep spending your criticism and you shall make someone uttering ‘Heureka’.

3. Expose all Big Pharma Frauds

4. Expose the Big Tech Dictatorship

5. Expose the Big Consent Manufacturers (Mediatic Clergy)

6. Expose the Big Politics behind the Global Public Private Partnership (GPPP) Agenda

7. Expose the GPPP Policy Makers

8. Expose the GPPP Policy Distributers

9. Expose the GPPP Policy Enforcers

10. Expose the GPPP Policy Propagandists – Ministry of Truth

The Substack Nobel Committee sees the above Public Servants as those who have done the most to deserve the Nobel Human Dignity Prize for 2021.”
