The hoax seems to have been inspired by a Twitter thread by Patent_SUN, who wrote about analysis by the Japanese Twitter user mbi92710920. When mbi ran ORFfinder on the Pfizer plasmid sequence that was uploaded to GenBank by McKernan, the spike ORF was numbered ORF11 and the long ORF on the reverse strand was labeled ORF19. Patent_SUN also pointed out how ORF19 had 23 matches to GXXXG, which he called a "prion motif".
This year Greg Harrison started to say that ORF19 was an ORF of SARS-CoV-2 and not the Pfizer vaccine, but it still had 23 "prion motifs", which he said made it extremely dangerous. He posted an AI-hallucinated image he said was a "plasmid map" of SARS-CoV-2, where there were 4 segments at different parts of the genome labeled ORF19. But in reality SARS-CoV-2 is not even a plasmid, and an ORF is a single contiguous region of the genome so there cannot be multiple ORF19 segments scattered throughout the genome.
Greg posted an AI-generated table of data about fake ORFs 11, 19, 29, 85, 43, 60, and 100. It showed that the Q/N and R/K content percentages of all ORFs were divisible by 5. For example ORF85 was 28 aa long and it had 15% Q/N content, but there is no integer you can divide by 28 that produces 15% when rounded to the nearest integer. Also ORF29 was 60 aa long and it had 50% Q/N content, even though there's 59,448 possible 60 aa segments of Wuhan-Hu-1 in all 6 frames, but the highest Q/N percentage in any of the segments is only about 27%. When I tried generating a similar table of fake ORFs with Perplexity, the Q/N percentages were all divisible by 2 or 5.
Greg's co-conspirator Wayne Crouch wrote that Greg discovered the secret ORFs by decoding secret Chinese and Russian military reports, and he released a series of AI-generated videos about the ORFs called An Unholy Triad. The first video in the series said that ORF19 went back to PLA virology studies based on "research logs from 1999 to 2005", and ORF29 traced back to WIV experiments based on "military reports from 2003 to 2008". But none of the research logs or military reports were actually shown in the videos.
In one Twitter thread Greg showed images that supposedly came from a secret Chinese report, but they clearly looked like AI-generated images with garbled text. But he said that he garbled text was some kind of a secret code that was used by bioweaponeers, so that for example one piece of text that looked like "Hetnody Ane Uadeeanchounsylnfrtn" was actually code for "Cytokine-Anchored Systemic Inflammation".
Last year Laura Kasner published a PDF by Greg Harrison's group which described the results of their supposed mass spectrometry analysis. The PDF included a photo with the caption "Worm-like fibrous clot from a patient who died from COVID disease". But the same photo was included in a paper published in 2019, which said it was a clot from a tube for removing lung fluid.
Greg Harrison is also supposed to have done an HPLC mass spec analysis of the calamari clots, but he only published the results of the analysis as simple pie charts that showed the percentage of each protein among the top 21 proteins. Me and Kevin McCairn have asked him to publish his raw HPLC data, but he has refused to publish it, because he came up with various excuses like that it would have identified the laboratory that did the research, that the PhD student who did the analysis signed an agreement with the university that they were not allowed to publish the raw data, or that the data was in a foreign language. When I asked him to even publish a more detailed table of the results with more columns, he published a simple table with 5 columns that might have all been generated from the percentages that were shown in his pie charts, and his table didn't even show what the column headers were. When I asked him what the columns meant, he said he couldn't answer because it was "proprietary information".
Two months ago after I busted Greg's ORF hoax, he posted a tweet that said: "And at this point in time, wish to retract my ORF 'rantings' due to our lack of credible evidence that any of our ORF stuff actually exists." [https://x.com/Greg21143362/status/1908007680406589892] However later he started pushing the story about the ORFs again.
McCairn told me this about Greg's hoax on his Discord: "I've reamed him out for it and how fucking stupid it is to be amplifying LLM hallucinations." And he told me: "And now I'm aware of the LLM nonsense, I have told them there will be the strictest scientific standards applied, and I will not have nonsense like that as an attack vector".
Tom Haviland wrote that he was in contact with a team that was analyzing Hirschman's clots in a lab, whose "lead scientist" was Greg Harrison. [https://laurakasner.substack.com/p/a-horrifying-breakthrough-in-the] About a month after Greg Harrison had announced that he had retracted his ORF rantings, Tom Haviland posted a comment at Substack that said "Decades of bioweapons research by the Soviets, Chinese, and Americans have developed nefarious ORFs that code for proteins that promote blood clotting, help viruses replicate faster, and help viruses evade the immune system". [https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/new-study-pfizer-recipients-face/comment/113177574]
So far Greg Harrison has suffered little consequences even though he was busted producing transparent disinformation, and he's still going on podcasts with Hirschman and Haviland. If Hirschman and Haviland were sincere, they would probably want to break ties with Harrison, but I think they are both in on the scam.
You can ask McCairn if Greg's ORFs are real or not. He distanced himself from Greg Harrison two months ago after I showed him why Greg's ORFs are fake. And you should read this whole section: https://sars2.net/clot.html#An_Unholy_Triad_and_mystery_ORFs.
McCairn also says people should ignore Greg's mass spectrometry results because he refuses to publish the raw mass spectrometry data (which is likely because he generated fake data with AI).

Cool story, but if you think I am going to take an obvious bot acct seriously, you're in the wrong place
Look at this image: https://x.com/Greg21143362/status/1891241646051705287/photo/1. Do you think it shows a real "plasmid map" of SARS-CoV-2? It has 4 different segments labeled ORF19. And SARS-CoV-2 is not even a plasmid.
Take your shilling elsewhere and stop wasting my time.

Look you fucking shill, I dont give a fuck about Greg. This is about McCairn's work. Move the fuck on.
