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

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

Do you know the Hopkins authors?

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:

Agree about the patting - but you did great Eddie! Action-packed 9 slides...and more than a few well placed blowstoward the GVP crowd. I must have blown over the SARS1 furin bit in the Gronvall piece - that would have definitelylowered my grade probably even below the B-.
