    @Eddie Holmes https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2021/05/19/coronavirus-origins It's remarkable to me how "rationale people" writing about Bloomshit avoid the obvious --- if you think that WIV had SC2 or something very close and didn't tell anyone HOW in the hell is this _not_ a conspiracy theory. Won't responsible commentary orjournalism maybe mention that?

    @Eddie Holmes Why Derek felt the need to write this, I don't know. It's as if anybody with a science background - orno science background - feels qualified to comment on what is an extremely complex issue. Again, these people just can't get past the fact it started in Wuhan.

    @Eddie Holmes (but they apparently don't have any issues with a researcher magically picking up the next pandemic virus from a bat butt. Okay, then - A+ for stats).

    @Eddie Holmes And shows why the conspiracy theorists are so keen to attack the pangolin data
