It's extraordinary that Jamie's letter still rattles on about RaTG13. When will they learn? They also want to know why Shi didn't mention the FCS in her 1st Nature paper...well no one spotted that until about 2 weeks after the sequence release. Initially, it was just about getting the sequence out as quickly as possible.

In context

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

It's the same pile of shit and garbage. Filled with accusations of conspiracies, cover-ups, unmanaged CoI, widespread falsification of data and lies. Yet, call this a conspiracy theory and they somehow become the aggrievedparties. Also based on poor understanding of basic virology and biology. Simply a massive distraction - it is awonder that serious journos consider this "credible."
