[Eddie Holmes] I thought had better chime in with my non conflicts of interest though... [2020-09-15 19:25:44] [Kristian Andersen] Yeah, sorry - my usage of "we" was confusing referring to my lab (where I always say "our lab" and "we"...) and not necessarily the Proximal authors. Having collaborations with China clearly isn't a conflict either - and as you said, is a good thing ffs! [2020-09-15 23:46:23] [Andrew Rambaut] Ebright is squirming too. [2020-09-16 02:15:54] [Eddie Holmes] I'm not I can stand to look at him... [2020-09-16 05:23:06] [Robert Garry] Well done gentlemen. I do hope Cohen or another credible journalist does the deep dive and publishes the truth. Yan, Alina, Ebright, Baric, Xander, the guy from Pitt have all been "co-opted" by Bannon/Gao [still can't get over the Captain Marvel video] to aid Trump's re-election. [2020-09-16 05:35:08] [Robert Garry] https://www.thedailybeast.com/steve-bannon-linked-groups-push-study-claiming-china-manufactured-covid?ref=scr oll - it's a start, but a note to Angie that furin sites are not YET found in other bat-CoVs. [2020-09-16 06:53:50] [Robert Garry] Dr Yan [Captain Marvel} last night on the most watched show on US Cable TV: https://www.bing.com/videos/search ?q=carlson+dr.+yan+youtube&docid=13822525050847&mid=416167E02C98435F55DD416167E02C984 35F55DD&view=detail&FORM=VIRE [2020-09-16 07:02:57] [Robert Garry] Interesting to note [no sexism intended, NBC did the same with Covidfaker]: Dr Yan's make-up, new glasses and wardrobe all with significant upgrades from her earlier Fox appearances. The media training also evident. Make no mistake this is a well-orchestrated campaign to legitimize the Kung Flu nonsense coming out of the current Administration. [2020-09-16 07:27:03] [Kristian Andersen] Unreal... I _suspect_ this might backfire - but we'll see. [2020-09-16 07:47:00] [Robert Garry] Trump is confident in his base - nothing is going to shake that 43-46% of the US voting population. What this is intended to do is to peel off a few percent of the Biden supporters so that the massive electorial college bias hands him the election [see 2016]. [2020-09-16 07:59:22] [Robert Garry]
