@Robert Garry - I think it might be worth reaching out to GVN to see if they want to respond to this. I can't take the lead on something like this, but it's quite serious when a journalist as high profile as Wade (despite him being anidiot) is calling for people to "blame" virologists for the COVID-19 pandemic. It's shocking, frankly.
-
Perhaps ASM/ASV would be better. Need to avoid the response from the loose-knit community. There's so much hate in Wade's article it's hard to know where to begin.
-
True. Might also just be better to leave it - it's shockingly hateful. I'm wondering if I should ping Jesse to warn him about this article since his Science commentary will be mixed upwith Wade's article AND Jesse may well not read the Wade piece in detail and not realize what it actually says.

No, Jesse has made his own bed - let him lie in it

My advice is to do nothing: just focus on doing the best science you can Jesse is old enough to look after himself
-
Yeah, fair points. And yeah - I'll let this one lie (although I will talk to Jon next week, although not about the Wade piece specifically)
-
Good plan The only way through this in the long term is getting more data. I'm doing my best on that front. Focus on the science. The rest is noise.

Couldn't agree more. It's really shocking to see a former NYT journalist write something this hateful though - with completely flawed'science' thrown in. Plenty of scientists are sharing this article - I'm wondering if they're realizing exactly what hewrote...Oh well. Time for beer.
