DoS member is either Asher [they're genetically engineering Super-Soldiers] or Pottinger [a few ppl maybe had ILI atWIV in 2019]. The journo has a big story - hope she/he realizes it.

I read it thru as well - literally all Team Yuri have is speculation that the FCS arose via point mutagensis rather than insertion via passage in cell culture. That's it. Of course, then you'd need SC2 minus the FCS to --you know-- passage.

Meanwhile Alina throwing yet again another pity party citing a "growing harassment on and off twitter." Maybe don't speculate on twitter and to journos that will listen that there is a worldwide cabal of scientists filling databases with fake betacov sequences, harass journal editors, write crap preprints in an area you are clueless in (it's perfectedadapted to humans) and accuse world class scientists of lying, cover-up, conspiracy and - yes- genocide. How Broad allows this unethical behavior I'll never know. [shared file(s): image.png]
