I can't stand to listen to him - he's disqualified from all further discussions (the worst thing is - he NEVER listens toANYBODY. It's all about him and only about him - and only he knows). He got Ebola wrong, he got Zika wrong, and he's now once again getting another virus wrong.I have no idea what he actually knows about - because even his virology knowledge (let alone genomics/epi/immunology, etc) is shockingly poor.

In context

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

Well, at least Butt Lesion actually knows what he's talking about - at least sometimes.
