Done. I didn't reply because I have blocked this nutter, but I pasted that tweet in.

In context

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

    Eddie, can you please (please!) do us a favor and reply? Maybe point her to your book on Amazon on the topic for extra snark.

    On it.

    Would this be ok? "There's a process called 'recombination' that is commonly documented in nature that explains this pattern. Coronaviruses recombine frequently. This is covered in basic virology textbooks and my own monograph: https://www.amazon.com/Evolution-Emergence-Viruses-Oxford-Ecology/dp/0199211132"

    Sufficiently snarky - so yes.

    She is so spectacularly dumb. They just don't understand the basic biology of what they are talking about.

    I mean - they should have come across recombination by now if they actually cared about looking at this properly... But I guess that was never the purpose.

    Found some lovely examples of recombinants between B.1.1.7 and other lineages: [shared file(s): group4_snp_plot.png]
