Bats are Off the Covid Hook! By Brian Simpson

 Fans of Batman will be pleased, as research from Tel Aviv University has shown that bats, which have their fair share of bad press and vampire concerns, let alone rabies, are at least off the hook regarding the spread of Covid, SASR-CoV-2. Many a bat will be breathing a gentle sigh of relief at the news, while patiently waiting to be made into bat soup. The claim that bats China spread Covid “was not based on sufficient compelling scientific proof and caused unnecessary stress and confusion worldwide. Bats have a highly effective immune system that enables them to deal relatively easily with viruses considered lethal for other mammals.” So, bats may have antibodies to al matter of diseases, but that shows immunity, not that they are reservoirs for the spread of any specific disease. No, there is only one creature responsible for Covid, and that is the human ruling elites.

“More than two-and-a-half years after COVID-19 was first discovered and blamed on bats in China, researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) have declared that this correlation between the pandemic and flying mammals “was not based on sufficient compelling scientific proof and caused unnecessary stress and confusion worldwide. Bats have a highly effective immune system that enables them to deal relatively easily with viruses considered lethal for other mammals.”

The study was led by Dr. Maya Weinberg from the lab of Prof. Yossi Yovel, head of TAU’s Sagol School of Neuroscience and faculty member of the School of Zoology and the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History. The research team reviewed dozens of leading articles and studies in this field, and their conclusions were published in the prestigious iScience Journal under the title “Revising the paradigm: Are bats really pathogen reservoirs, or do they possess an efficient immune system?”

The researchers said that the “infamous reputation” of bats is well known among both the scientific community and the public at large. They explained that bats are often accused of being “blood-sucking Draculas” and of being reservoirs of viruses – including COVID-19 – and, thus, posing a threat to public health. In the newly published study, Weinberg sought to disprove this “erroneous theory” and prove that bats play an important role in exterminating insects, replanting deforested areas and pollinating a number of crops.

“In general, bats are mistakenly conceived of as reservoirs of many contagious disease, only due to their being positive, serologically positive; in other words, in possession of antibodies, which means that bats have survived the disease and developed an immune response,” declared Weinberg. “After that, they overcame the virus altogether and disengaged from it; hence, they are no longer its carriers. Nevertheless, in many cases, a virus similar to a human pathogen is liable to be found in bats; however, it is not pathogenic to humans and is not sufficient to use bats as a reservoir.”
