Most Unaware That 'Junk' Viral Peptides Produced During Replication Are Pathogenic And Can Withstand Temperatures Above 70 Degrees Celsius!

H5N1 News: Recent news coverages that showed that commercial milk supplies found in supermarkets and grocery stores across America were found to contain H5N1 viral particles but that the USFDA claimed that as there were not infectious and hence these milk supplies were still safe for human consumption is not only misleading but warrant fact-checks by leading researchers who are updated in developments in the field of virology.

To begin with, it has been known that viruses during replication, produce numerous proteins that are not part of their genomic structure and previously it was assumed that these viral peptides which include various miRNAs, cirRNAs etc were but junk proteins.

And Can Withstand Temperatures Above 70 Degrees Celsius

 
However, recent developments had shown that these viral peptides are not junk proteins but are actually proteins that are also pathogenic and can cause health issues as they can bind with various key human host proteases to disrupt, damage or dysregulate various important cellular pathways. In fact, it is coming to light that some of these viral peptides were made by designation to perhaps disrupt some of the host cellular functions to facilitate the virus survival in the host.
 
This new development in the field of virology has also brought to the attention that the SARS-CoV-2 virus could be generating hundreds if not thousands of different viral peptides that are causing varied effects on the human host.

Australian scientists have already discovered on such micro RNA called CoV2-miR-08 that is actually encoded by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

 < ;br /> There are also other such viral peptides by SARS-CoV-2 that has been identified.

Some of these viral peptides are not merely formed during replication or encoding by the virus by also by structural breakdown of the virus itself into properly designated proteins!
 
There are many such micro RNAs now being discovered in the case of SARS-CoV-2 and they are all pathogenic though not infectious and it is believed that they also contribute to long COVID manifestations and even COVID-19 severity!

Studies have shown that while viruses can be inactivated at high temperatures, viral peptides can withstand high temperatures even at 70 degrees Celsius or higher!

Hence the recent H5N1 News claiming that pasteurized milk despite containing non-infectious H5N1 viral particles is safe to consume begets urgent studies.
 
We are not yet 100 percent sure if these viral particles from the H5N1 are pathogenic and can affect key human proteases if consumed and we have no knowledge yet if these viral particles can withstand the pH conditions of our gastrointestinal tract!
 
But what thing is for sure, with what we are discovering about viral peptides encoded or produced by SARS-CoV-2, the same is possibly occurring with the H5N1 virus and we should not prematurely assume that viral particles found in milk supplies are safe and non-pathogenic!

(Dear readers I merely scrambled and put this article together in less than 5 minutes in response to the news coverages about its still safe to drink these milk supplies but I will do a more detailed article in coming days to elaborate my point and warnings with more links to studies and data. I do hope that most of you understand what I am warning about!)
