Yeah - this really should be called out. Some of the worst I have read. What the heck went wrong here? Or are these people just so full of themselves by now that this seems ok?

    ```The 'phylogenetic' tools used to track these variants were largely developed by evolutionary biologists to study the lineage of organisms. They were designed to construct phylogenetic trees that can ask, for example, whether flightevolved twice in mammals, or whether two large groups of bats began as one that then diverged.Now, co-opted to track a pandemic, the leaves of the phylogenetic tree represent SARS-CoV-2 sequences taken from individuals, and the tree grows with the number of cases ```Now co-opted?
