Artificial intelligence predicts new covid variants
Researchers at Harvard University and the University of Oxford are using artificial intelligence to predict threatening new variants of covid and other viruses. The purpose is to significantly accelerate the development of vaccines.
The researchers developed a generative AI model trained on historical virus sequences to predict how the covid virus might mutate. They then added structural details of the virus, such as the regions that are most easily recognized by the immune system. To test the program’s predictive power, researchers drew on a wealth of data about covid from the pandemic and examined how the insidious virus evolved, according to a report from Axios.
The goal is to develop more “vaccines” that can be injected into people.
“In viral diseases, there is a complex interplay between recognition by the host immune system and evasion of the virus, often leading to the development of viral antigen proteins. Antibody escape mutations influence the rate of viral reinfections and the duration of vaccine effectiveness. Therefore, early detection of virus variants that evade immune recognition is crucial for the development of optimal vaccines and therapeutics.” – Nature
“These generative models allow us to learn aspects from evolutionary information—the data contains hidden secrets that we can uncover,” said lead author Debora Marks, an associate professor of systems biology at Harvard Medical School, in a statement. “We underestimate the ability of viruses to mutate when they are under pressure and have a large population in which to do so,” Marks said. “Viruses are flexible – it’s almost as if they evolved to evolve.”
Authorities are still continuing a fierce manipulation campaign to convince the public that the coronavirus is “deadly” and that people need to get “vaccinated” against it with poisonous jabs. No one was afraid of a flu until the ruling class used mass hysteria, propaganda and lies to convince them of it.
