Just spectacularly stupid

    Is she so dumb as to not realise that 'resipirovirus' is a taxonomic name?
  2. 2021-04-22 13:09 Robert F. Garry open
    Yes - actually dumber.

    Yes, she's clearly behind that PLoS request. Like @Andrew Rambaut I was also asked by PLoS to look at that paper yesterday. I declined because I said that I would be classed as having a conflict of interest.

    I'm not quite sure what she's trying to say - that first they said it was SARS-CoV-2 and then later repackaged the paper when they realized it was a resipirovirus?

    They'd already reported the respirovirus in the pangolins. This was just a follow-up study.
