# Transcript

**[2020-07-25T16:56:52] Edward C. Holmes:** It's so mental that it almost defies believe.

**[2020-07-25T16:59:28] Edward C. Holmes:** Doubtless they'll also have a theory for his bungled pitch.

**[2020-07-25T17:00:11] Andrew Rambaut:** Looks like Sinclair are rethinking whether this is a good idea: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jul/25/sinclair-tv-stations-fauci-plandemic-conspiracy-theory

**[2020-07-25T17:01:56] Edward C. Holmes:** Good

**[2020-07-25T17:05:31] Edward C. Holmes:** Andrew, do you know what has happened to Sunetra? She seems to have gone bat shit crazy.

**[2020-07-25T17:12:42] Andrew Rambaut:** I know. I thought her first thing about the 'Oxford' model was perhaps just a miscommunication of some modellingscenarios. But the stuff about immunity is bonkers.

**[2020-07-25T17:13:33] Edward C. Holmes:** Completely bonkers. She's destroying her reputation.

**[2020-07-25T17:15:34] Edward C. Holmes:** Like this (paywalled, but the by-line says it all): https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/06/27/lockdown-social-distancing-could-make-immune-system-weaker-says/

**[2020-07-25T17:19:06] Andrew Rambaut:** What??

**[2020-07-25T17:19:52] Edward C. Holmes:** Insane

**[2020-07-25T17:34:05] Edward C. Holmes:** https://www.aier.org/article/how-global-capitalism-boosted-immunities/?fbclid=IwAR2QtgDRinC5lm-TEAJfj9SnEjMv FgRNROaehepPKGT67SGlW_epm5YMRQc

**[2020-07-25T18:10:05] Kristian G. Andersen:** That's nuts... The again, she is professor of *theoretical* epidemiology and not actually epidemiology... :wink:

**[2020-07-25T18:31:48] Edward C. Holmes:** Very true. Oxford must be really embarrassed. But they'll live.
