I just read it as well - not very impressed. I'd say an over B- grade.

In context

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

If assigning a grade I'd say A for effort, A+ for participation and B+ for content.

Hope the GVN thing was ok Bob. Would have been better - with more discussion - if they have not spent so much time patting each other on the back at the start.

They got a number of things wrong - some of which could be problematic. E.g., they mention that SARS1 has a furin cleavage site in the spike - that's clearly not true and suggestive of them not looking very closely at the literature. I'll posit that my much shorter Twitter thread did a better job :wink:

SARS1 furin is a shocker. Best not associate ourselves with these people. Your Twitter thread was very good: reallywound them up!
