"I'm just asking questions". He ended on talking about other data that had been deleted - from GISAID. My Google search above - I wonder where he got that idea from.... (stuff is being deleted on GISAID all the time - we do it,Andrew does it, everybody does it - when we realize the data aren't quite right / contaminants).

In context

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

After this meeting, I honestly think something might be wrong with him. But I'm not going to speculate.

I'm sure Tony had to make an extra call to his security service - "Be ready, folks". Anyways - we'll see. But hugely disappointing. Archiving a version of the preprint here with my highlights. [shared file(s): Bloom Preprint.pdf]

Is it up yet? I'm deliberately not looking at the bioRxiv queue as I don't want to have anything to do with this is in any way. Indeed, if bioRxiv post something that includes FOIA stuff I may quit

I haven't seen it in the quick queue yet.
