   They are spectacularly naive.

   Last minute add to my email - "naive". Good call Mr. Andersen, good call. "Naive" is exactly the criticism they're going to receive from WHO and other folks who actual understand this type ofwork.

   "And we agree that we should limit conclusions to those on which there are good data for support" - what he's saying- "we don't believe your conclusions in PO1 are supported by data".

   Yes, exactly. I can't believe they are so naive to not realise how naive they are being.

   They can be naive at their own peril. I'm pretty certain this letter is going to look especially dumb about a year from now. The many immunologists on the letter will be "why the fuck did we agree to this?".

   Yup. But it's a bed of their own making.

   Correct. It'll be interesting to see the press tomorrow - I assume most of it will be favorable to them, but we'll see. There'll beplenty of backlash later on.

   Yes, I agree. The press will love for 48 hours, then we'll see. I do wonder what WHO will do. They are taking a beating at the moment.
