Natural Science 301 Guidelines
This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.
As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

No you did not respond objectively, agenda (?).
Objectively, you linked to a paper that says the one clear genetic risk factor we've identified is most prevalent in Asian populations.
Objectively, the paper says your claim is wrong.

Your title:
The major genetic risk factor for severe COVID-19 is inherited from Neanderthals
The paper is talking about genes inherited that cause a greater RISK for severe COVID. And it says that this gene is more prevalent in Asians.
That doesn't say that Asians have a LOWER risk for severe Covid, It says they have a MAJOR (Higher) risk for severe COVID.
How do you explain that it proves they have a higher resistance to covid?

Keep it reasonable in terms of science and do not stoop to Lee tactics.
I believe further research will support my view. As to agreeing to disagree NO.

The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Well . . . on hold in a way. No I definitely do not go the Lee way. Yes we disagree ar present, but yes my references support a genetic relationship in infection rate in regional populations. I believe this is rtue of many viruses in human history.I do beliee that oer generations regional populations do develop resistance to viruses as in the relationship between viruses and regional exposure to viruses like 'Small Pox.

It's fair to say that there are regional genetic differences that influence infection rate. As for an explanation of this, it could just as easily be that the viruses have adapted to humans, as the other way around.
I prefer the possibly adaptation of genetic evolution of resistance to the viruses by humans. Yes viruses do evolve in response to the development of resistance in the host animals.
In the past humans were to a degree regionally isolated where some regions developed no or very little resistence to the viruses. Today the world is changing and regional isolation is no longer a factor.Last edited by shunyadragon; 01-26-2022, 07:36 AM.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
