[Kristian Andersen] GISAID? Can't say that would make me sad. Are they aware of their little "first genome" scam? I have all the proof if they need it.. Just sayin' [2022-02-16 16:00:54] [Eddie Holmes] Will mainly be an expose of Bogner - seemingly making things up for ages - but GISAID will clearly be dragged through the dirt I sent him sequence release GISGATE stuff on background [2022-02-16 16:02:22] [Eddie Holmes] Bogner sounds like a complete fantasist I told him the GISAID are getting increasingly out of line [2022-02-16 16:06:12] [Kristian Andersen] He's such a joke - we're dealing with a whole mountain of GISAID bullshit right now and I'm gonna go to fucking war with them if this continues. [2022-02-16 16:06:59] [Eddie Holmes] What are they doing? [2022-02-16 16:10:38] [Kristian Andersen] Wanting certain language in press releases, wanting us to code shit for them, wanting us to cite very specific papers (that state they released the first genome), etc, etc. Whenever we push back, they threaten to remove access for outbreak.info - same bullshit they have done with pretty much everybody else, including NextStrain. Difference is that I'm not Trevor and unlike him, I don't give a fuck - burn the house down if that's what it takes! So tired of Peter's bs - and so is everybody else. [2022-02-16 16:15:52] [Kristian Andersen] Yup - have him reach out. I have had beef with these guys for years because of their bs practices. [2022-02-16 16:20:58] [Eddie Holmes] This has now been noted...increasing anger [2022-02-16 16:23:55] [Robert Garry] Lies and other BS: quickest way to short term gain - it ALWAYS catches up. [2022-02-16 16:29:40] [Kristian Andersen] Well, except, Donald Trump is apparently still a thing... [2022-02-16 22:00:39] [Eddie Holmes] Should be around tomorrow morning. I could do as early as 6:45 am my time as tea should be stewed enough by then.
