BATTLEFORWORLD.COM | January 3, 2023: Matt Ridley, a British writer and journalist interviewed by Dr. Jordan B Peterson, sharing some revealing insights about why the COVID-19 virus is so infectious among the population. An excerpt posting from the video interview.

Peterson: …There is something about this particular virus that sets it out against other viruses against its type, and it’s this particular ability to use a human enzyme. And you describe that as inserted and I presumed that could be inserted as a consequence hypothetically of natural selection processes or that there’s other alternative explanations. So, what do you see when you look at that?

Ridley: What I mean by inserted here, it is an extra piece, of genetic information. We can look at 20 or 30 other similar viruses and we can line their genomes up and match them up against this one (i.e., COVID-19) and the ‘furin cleavage site’ is not an altered bit, it’s an added bit. It’s an extra chunk that has been added in the middle of the spike gene.

Peterson: How do you differentiate added or different? I presumed that is a consequence of degree of divergence. So, you can imagine that there’s a set of viruses that are genetically and evolutionary similar, so they stem from the similar source, and they have a predictable pattern of variation. And you’re saying that this is an anomaly that exists outside that?

Ridley: Well, you line them up – the code of the genetic viruses and this particular part of the spike gene they all aligned up quite well. The sequences are mostly the same. You can tell that it’s been added, because you can align the spike genes of other viruses alongside each other and see that this is an extra piece of RNA, not a changed piece of RNA. It’s about twelve letters long, and this spell-out a sequence that allows, it’s called a ‘furin cleavage site’ and it allows the virus to use a human enzyme called ‘furin’ to spread from cell to cell, tissue to tissue, and effectively makes the virus much more dangerous and much more transmissible. It’s the reason why we are having a pandemic. ...
