Crazier and crazier. There's nothing in any of my papers and emails that speaks to the origins of the virus. If the Australian intelligence people want to see them they can. Everyone else can fuck off.

In context

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

    That's just Bill - I'd call this only very mild by Bill's standards (you've now seen the other end of the scale). *For surehe is 100% sincere about the last few sentences." I told him that you just were simply interested in keeping virological to the science, which lab leak clearly is not, and not to the personal stuff.I would not give it another thought. Yes - he can submit an toned down version to eLetters if he wishes, which it's much more appropriate.

    I have replied to encourage him to publish it and assure him he did nothing wrong.

    I think the subthread on Sharri and Alina is getting "hijacked" a bit with that big city/domestic animal/zoonot discussion. But, the letter from Bill G might have convergence. I'm pretty sure at least some of the Bloomshit signersare not aware of the Alina BS. Although Alina plays victim very well, she the one that is passing out the most accusations of misconduct to Nature and PLOS. She's at least on par with Billy and the other DRASTIC thugs.

    Holy Crap - Alina got some idiot to write an article about her wall-of-crazy. https://rogerpielkejr.substack.com/p/scientific-leadership-on-covid-19

    She'll also be very surprised to learn how I informed the intelligence services about this last year and had extensive discussions with them.

    Can you imagine hiring Alina for any - like - actual job after her post-doc? Plus, she is so far gone down the "I'm amedia star" path that no way she would have the focus to keep any kind of real job in actual science. That, plus the few examples of her "science" I've actually read as pre-prints are crap.

    She's pure evil. Seriously.
