Lab tech claims he was fired by university for raising carcinogen concerns

A former University of South Australia laboratory technician has told the Fair Work Commission he was fired after he raised concerns about exposure to carcinogens in a chemical used to preserve body parts.The university dismissed him in October, saying he failed to perform his dutiesChristopher Parry worked casually in the university's anatomy laboratory for five months until he was let go without notice in October 2019.

He said the university failed to comply with timeframes during its investigation, which contributed to the delay, and noted Mr Parry took early action to dispute the dismissal. Mr Parry went on to say the laboratory facilities were not built for the purpose and, until the mentioned testing, no chemical monitoring had been done.Worker says he was 'kept in the dark'

Same thing happens to scientists that say the GBR is okay.

Thank Christ he didn’t mention China or Gender, could have been a lot worse...

Coronavirus may have been created in a Wuhan lab ‘genetic engineering’ experiment | Sky News AustraliaA growing number of scientists are raising the possibility COVID-19 was created in a laboratory, saying the option cannot be ruled out.\n\nLeading immunologists and geneticists say that there are two unusual things about COVID-19 that open the door to it being man-made rather than a naturally-occurring virus.\n\nThe first is that the virus binds to human ACE2 receptor cells more strongly than it does to any other animal, including bats.\n\nThe second unusual thing about the virus that causes COVID-19 is that it has what’s called a “furin cleavage site” that its closest genetic bat-coronavirus relative, RaTG-13, does not have.\nThis site makes it significantly more infectious.\n\nIsraeli geneticist, Dr Ronen Shemesh, who is working on treatment for COVID-19, said in his opinion the virus was more likely created in a laboratory than evolved in nature.\n\n“There are many reasons to believe that the COVID-19 generating SARS-CoV-2 was generated in a lab. Most probably by methods of genetic engineering,” he told Sky News.\n\n“I believe that this is the only way an insertion like the FURIN protease cleavage site could have been introduced directly at the right place and become effective.”\n\nDr Shemesh points to the insertion of a Furin site as the most unusual aspect of COVID-19.\n\n“I believe that the most important issue about the differences between ALL coronavirus types is the insertion of a Fufin protease cleavage site at the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2,” he said.\n“Such an insertion is very rare in evolution, the addition of such 4 Amino acids alone in the course of only 20 years is very unlikely.”\n\nDr Shemesh, who has a PhD in Genetics and Molecular Biology from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and over 21 years of experience in the field of drug discovery and development, said it is even “more unlikely” that this insertion happened in exactly the right place of the cleavage site of the spike protein - which is where it would need to occur to make the virus mo I'm making my shocked face.
