An important question to answer - is a sequence found in venom (cobra?) also found in the sars-cov-2 genetic sequence. Is it correct to think that with all the sequencing of sars-cov-2 and all the research that has been done on venom that it would rather straight forward to make a detailed comparison?

If such a sequence is found then the obvious questions - natural vs lab recombination, and what part is it contributing in the process initiating the "allergic" type complication of covid that have been described.

early on in covid time, when I was downloading study after study and "searching" most of every day , I came upon 1 study stating that a sequence in sars-cov2 was identical to one in cobra venom. I may or may not have downloaded that study. shortly after I found an India study proposing to use a repurposed drug as an add on universal anti venom. then found a study proposing the use of that same drug for the treatment of covid. I have located these studies on a flash drive.

"The outworking of events." When 3 related events happen in close sequence I take note.

At this point, we should be investigating more thoroughly the effects of chlorine dioxide, methylene blue, and various anti-venoms. Seeing the disaster that Remdeathavir has wrought, and understanding the lack of research in other medications, it is all suspicious.

Why can we believe without question that this virus comes from a bat but we can’t believe without question that there may be elements of snake peptides enzymes are proteins? The researchers have already told us that it seems as if this virus comes from a snake and not a bat. If the lab theory is correct, what would prevent the scientists for coding ANY toxin/venom/poison in this chimera? I am not willing to throw the snake venom theory out this quickly especially seeing that the majority of the deaths and injury from Covid are due to blood coagulation problems.

Ok. The Italians told Fauci that they were able to save five critically ill patients with Aggrastat or Tirofiban hydrochloride, which is an anti-venom. They saw a complete turnaround to health in less than two hours by administering this drug. Fauci never responded.

Why have we not investigated what the mechanism of action is that makes this anti venom so powerful? Why don’t we hear anything about the anti-venom story in the media? Why did antivenom work in the first place? There is a “there” there and the coincidences and similarities are too noticeable to throw this theory in the trash so quickly. To your point, let’s do some further tissue analysis and let’s understand if the spike protein does not contain partial sequences of peptides that code for venom. Why has everyone felt the need to respond and dissuade everyone from believing Dr. Ardis’s theory so quickly—in one week? Surely you all couldn’t have read every paper that Ardis cited? The attack on this theory seems odd….

..."If they had, it would have been explained rationally, and we wouldn't be all in a tizzy now over a phenomenon that is poorly understood not only by the lay person, but by non specialist medical professionals!" Open mind about needing further research but HEAVY BIAS on only a specialist can understand / research.

more snake venom evidence - "An insertion unique to SARS-CoV-2 exhibits superantigenic character strengthened by recent mutations"

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7263503/

"The insertion PRRA together with the sequentially preceding seven amino acids and succeeding Arg (fully conserved among β-coronaviruses) have been pointed out to form a motif, Y674QTQTNSPRRAR685, homologous to that of neurotoxins from Ophiophagus (cobra) and Bungarus genera, as well as neurotoxin-like regions from three RABV strains (21) (Fig. 2C). We further noticed that the same segment bears close similarity to HIV-1 glycoprotein gp120 superantigenic motif F164-V164."
