My wikipedia page has been hacked with some nasty edits claiming, for example, that I have received research grants from China. Untrue. The intent here is obvious. It also twists what we say in the proximal origins paper tothing like "_..pangolins...provide a much stronger and more parsimonious explanation"_ of how the virus originated through natural selection". I've tried to correct it a few times but it is instantly put back.

In context

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