As for Alina yes an odd combination with Matt Ridley, who thinks human intelligence arose because men like to lookat large breasts and big butts on women - then built a huge land sculpture apparently so space aliens can see with their telescopes that yes we have women here with large breasts and big butts. If you want to keep your credibilityas an scientific expert then you need to keep in your lane of expertise when commenting in public. She's clearly outof her depth in evolutionary biology of viruses, and despite the fact she is Chinese has no special expertise ininternational politics involving China. What she is good at is getting media attention, a trait she shares with Nathan Wolfe and @Covidfaker.
