They have absolutely nothing. It's really, really, dumb - as in something seen in the Fox News comments.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    Thanks for sharing Eddie - so much nonsense. Main problem is it will be like crack cocaine on steroids to the conspiracy theorists lurking in the underbelly of the Internets- the same 5% that caused Mikovits' book to sellout onAmazon.

    OTOH If you ignore it - it may well go away - they literally had ABSOLUTELY nothing to pin on you other than you have done some important scientific work with Chinese scientists.

    OMG this is so hilariously dumb.

    Spectacular. Badge of honour to be attacked by the Murdoch press. I'm just going to ignore it.

    They read the Acknowledgements. There are strong links between The Tele and Fox News. The lead journo - Sharri Markson - was on the Tucker Carlson thing

    Yeah - they keep talking about the Acknowledgements - I mean, do they actually understand what they are? How garbage like this can actually end up in a 'newspaper' these days is beyond me. Concentrated stupidity.

    I like the idea of stealth pangolins. Maybe add in a little genetic engineering to turn them into a more effectiveweapon? Relatively simple to do if you have the scientific resources of the whole Red Army at your disposal.Substitute the keratin in the scales with spider dragline silk, which is more durable than Kevlar - then load then upwith exotic coronaviruses. We all should just surrender now.

    I agree Bob. Did you see that Singapore robodog? I think they missed a brilliant opportunity to use pangolins instead. Not even Black Mirror have thought of that. https://www.smh.com.au/world/asia/roaming-robodog-tells-singapore-park-goers-to-keep-their-distance-20200509-p54rcs.html
