I tried, but it made me so angry that I could literally feel my blood pressure begin to rise to dangerous levels so I hadto stop. I just can't read this shit otherwise it will kill me. Baltimore's quote is hilarious. I bet he was on the phone with Jesse.

    Have any of you read the Wade article in a little more detail? I'm still going through it, but it's shockingly bad - Imean, almost every single paragraph contains complete falsehoods and misunderstandings(/representations?) ofbasic scientific concepts. I only skimmed it previously, but reading through this, I'm totally stumped. It's as if he has never read a biology book.

    Good points on the VOC/VOI stuff. I think the WHO proposal is simply about politics, particularly trying to avoid the association with particular places (which the press will totally ignore). The greek names is ok I guess and not afocanuba. All a bit pointless.
