MacGiolla Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I want to share this short video that reviews scientific publications about this controversial hypothesis. Interestingly, there is a reference to a recent publication in Plos genetics that shows that low radiation doses (13mGy) double insertional mutagenesis of human cells, suggesting the effects that we see in astronauts like virus reactivation can be explained.
