Bob, coincidence you and I are implicated in both? I think not... :man_in_business_suit_levitating: [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-03-05 at 2.18.18 PM.png]

In context

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

As for the Paris group I think Kristian said it - let them put their "science" out in the sunlight. There it will die like other conspiracy theories. Oh and there was a Nature podcast - a bit of Bullocks.https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00599-7 Amy should have mentioned all the PO1 authors besideKristian and me, but other than that a good job. Heartwarmingly, it did cause Alina to throw her rattle out of the pramagain. Alina is really quite dishonest - twisting up a bunch of stuff that was said to fit her own priors. For ex: Amy never said the Thai bat spike was the most similar to SC2 spike just that is is similar, which of course is true and apoint of Holmes2021.
