   Yeah, how Curefinder can be a fellow where somebody like Beth (and Rebecca) are also fellows, I don't understand. Takes a Bush school I guess... Both Beth and Rebecca are part of the task force - Beth as an advisor (which I thinkis good).

   Indeed - but I did notice that that Covidfaker [along with enabler Hotez also of MSNBC 'fame"] was relegated to emeritus fellow. I have a feeling that the demotion was not a coincidence after it was revealed that Fair's latest inaseries of near death experiences was not what he said it was - aka - Fake News.

   Just reviewed a paper for Nature from the Harvard School of Public Health which does a sort of machine-learny thing to find mutations that cause deadness using GISAID data. They discover 2 mutation with significance. Turns out both are in a clade from Nuno's Science paper and when you look at the data in GISAID there are 131/159 dead people in the clade. 82% fatality rate. Those are some deadly mutations. Or the Sao Paolo was only sequencing severe cases. They even report the 82% dead in the paper. And don't stop to think.

   Haha, oh boy - I said you accept it, just so we can drown out all the other news. But seriously - how the heck can you write a full paper before stopping for a second and thinking "wait, does that really make sense?*. Amateur 'science' has been a dangerous thing during COVID-19- I believe Ed has an article coming up about that...
