I think Dr. Quay missed the points but FWIW. Not sure why he can't post.... Dr. Garry- here is a single slide of my approach for your thoughts and comments: SLACK_001047 Regards, Steve On Tue, May 18, 2021 at 11:43 PM Steven Quay, MD, PhD i Sot; wrote: > Dear Dr. Garry- > > Thank you for your recent post on the genomic origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

In context

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

Lunacy. What if it was a botanist or a palaeontologist?

This is good - let them go down these crazy paths since it makes the bloomshitters look even dumber as we continue to learn more about how this _actually_ emerged.

"What if it was a botanist or a palaeontologist?" Shut them all down! Fieldwork of ANY kind is too dangerous [says the guy who works with Lassa and Ebola blood samples at hmmmm BLS2+ in Africa].

The more they define 'lab escape' as just anything that involves a virologist in someway the less likely it is that it was lab escape because virologists are generally outnumbered by almost every other subdivision of the population.

Steve is indeed wrong - he doesn't understand phylogenetics (but A for effort). He can't post because he needs aninvitation to set up an account - I propose we don't give him that invitation since it's all crazy talk... (his 300+ page Bayesian analysis of the origin is a good example..)

What's important about the two markets / two lineages isn't the fact that there are two lineages - it's that you have two independent lineages associated with two different markets. It's highly unlikely that a lab escape - of all places -would be associated with two different markets.

I'm either going to A. ignore Dr. Quay or B. tell him that I'm going to forward the emails to virological administration. I'll follow @Andrew Rambaut advice on this. I'm leaning to A.

Most people get so frustrated with not being able to find the register button that they end up emailing me.
