What we really need an exposé on is the bullshit 4$Chan and eDim are doing - that's by far the biggest problem here, not you random fat angry guy from Texas sitting on his couch in his underpants while screaming at his screen about the "dumb elites!!"

In context

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

It does make my blood boil that Alina - who has legitiised hate and attacks on scientists - is featured as a victim inthat Nature piece. No doubt she will milk this on Twitter. She has done more than anyone to create a narrative that ifyou a believe in a natural origin you are part of a conspiracy.

I'll be emailing Nature as soon as this comes out to point that out - they have been asking us to fill out the questionary multiple times, but I never did. But not to realize that Alina is one of the ring leaders in _exactly what the article is about_ is pretty astonishing.

@Andrew Rambaut All because of P681R? I doubt it - I think this bugger might have some tricks outside that spike protein we so fondly focus on...
