Reading... Separately, Marc is going to regret getting on Twitter today...
-
He made the mistake of bringing up a few specific points (while criticizing our paper) and he's absolutely getting his ass handed to him for being so darn naive. I hope he learns from the experience.
-
Is he suggesting they got directly infected from tissue in the freezer?
-
Yup, he just brought that up

I called it a "very specific version of natural emergence" (and hence hugely unlikely). He didn't like that very much.

He's being absolutely swarmed at the moment though, so not really fair to him - but I gotta say, boy oh boy is the stuff he says naive.

Look at the last tweet in that thread too. Bringing up bacteria... ANYBODY with a little bit of knowledge would look atthat and say "wait, what, he doesn't even understand the basics"?Unreal. I really respect Marc a lot - as in, a lot. But this is uninformed and naive. [shared file(s): Screen Shot2021-05-25 at 7.19.25 PM.png]

Isolating bacteria in live animals? WTF?

Yeah - that's what SARS-CoV-2 did. It jumped out of a tube and into a person. And then it caused a super spreading event at a wet market. And then the pandemic. Simple, really.I was kinda hoping Alex would go in for the kill... Good thing Andrew is asleep.
