One think we predict though was that having Daszak on has back-fired badly. What were they thinking?

    Relman really is an idiot - I actually thought he was a good, solid scientist. Apparently not - doesn't understand "data" and "false equivalences". I guess he isn't alone. [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-03-31 at 12.56.43.png]

    All we can do is ignore all this noise and just try to focus on the science.

    The noise is like a roaring highway though - and driven by some very high profile scientists. It's sad, really.

    True, but there's no way that China will let another team in so ultimately it's all pointless

    Is there a plan to "publish" a summary report? Is the WHO team going to do a joint publication? Seems like perhapsPO2 might now be in order.
