In other news, I got a nice email from Stanley Plotkin. @Andrew Rambaut he reminded me of the Hooperfest at the Royal Society. A conspiracy theory from a previous pandemic.

In context

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

    Seems like a different era. Can you imagine having a similar meeting on this? Mind you Hooper has been abusing Mike Worobey for years.

    "A conspiracy theory from a previous pandemic." It's really deja vu all over again. A serious virus emerges from nature. Then, you have the made in a lab crowd, the accidental release crowd [sorta like Hooper], the Plandemiccults and the deniers pouring out from the woodwork and from under their rocks. COVID-19 whips it all up [with the help of social media] into an extra toxic stew by adding in international politics [with more than a hint of racism although AIDS had/has that too] and of course the Fox/Bannon/Trumpists.

    A little more deja vu involving a familiar character, vaccines, viruses and a scandal. https://retractionwatch.com/2020/09/29/the-doctor-who-fooled-the-world-an-excerpt-from-brian-deers-new-book-about-andrew-wakefield/ Deer isthe reporter who relentlessly pushed a relunctant Richard Horton/Lancet to finally retract the Wakefield fraud.
