# Transcript

**[2021-02-05T06:01:28] Robert F. Garry:** @Kristian Andersen Good that Angie is taking the heat for use PO1 guys. Kinda like the now iconic scene in the first Wonder Woman movie where Diana literally runs through the battlefield. Bad as Yuri and the DRASTICs are imagine how you'd feel about this:https://www.vice.com/en/article/5dp4gx/professor-catfished-by-stalker-identity-theft-plagiarism:scream_cat:

**[2021-02-05T07:00:54] Robert F. Garry:** Coming to think that it may be the combo of NellY and EriK, not necessarily either alone that is the most concern. Probably not enough attention on PooH and the NTD Deletions... Oh to Andrew's point the nsp6 deletion as well.

**[2021-02-05T07:46:09] Robert F. Garry:** Seriously Alina and Ebright https://twitter.com/Ayjchan/status/1357691160198807552 THis is garbage...

**[2021-02-05T07:52:15] Andrew Rambaut:** It isn't entirely wrong - I heard from someone else that they had got a paper to review from Nature and they said they weren't going to review it until the genome was released. Then Jeremy's tweet and Eddie persuading Zhang torelease it.

**[2021-02-05T07:52:42] Kristian G. Andersen:** The part about Nature is probably correct. The part involving "Ed" I'm sure isn't

**[2021-02-05T07:53:33] Kristian G. Andersen:** Instead of reading Twitter, watch this instead. https://youtu.be/lgGmYeAm0jk. It'll make you feel better.

**[2021-02-05T07:55:15] Robert F. Garry:** THis is the part in particular I do not like - [shared file(s): image.png]

**[2021-02-05T07:58:46] Andrew Rambaut:** Yes - that is wrong.

**[2021-02-05T07:58:55] Kristian G. Andersen:** "They"

**[2021-02-05T07:59:34] Andrew Rambaut:** The embargo is just the standard, wait until we tell you to release it but give us an accession number.

**[2021-02-05T07:59:57] Andrew Rambaut:** And in the mean time George was pissing around with getting GISAID to setup something for them.

**[2021-02-05T08:03:25] Robert F. Garry:** Someone in the news media needs put out the real story and timeline - Alina and Ebright already no doubt working their magic with the spews media ...

**[2021-02-05T08:09:50] Robert F. Garry:** I'm sure that those two are already pushing the narrative that Eddie and Zhang were going to hold the sequences until July...
