Based on the call I had with WHO (and I believe this preprint was part of what instigated that) I had started to get together some data to do a rebuttal. But this is way worse than I imagined. It is just waffle.

In context

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

Yes, very interesting. I never knew there was a call.

Utter shit. I like how the top journals have preprint services now so you can see where the authors have submittedto.

Will be interest to see how hard this is pushed into the media - i.e. is it government sponsored.

It may not be government sponsored, but the government will be delighted and I assume it's all over their state media. I'll see what has to say.

They certainly seem to be offering it to the WHO's 'origins investigation committee'.
