[Eddie Holmes] Prof Tritto seems well qualified I see. Seems to specialise in male genital enlargement: https://www.giuseppetritto.com/services [2020-09-17 21:39:55] [Kristian Andersen] "Amazon Bestseller" - although I can't seem to find his book. But no - we certainly don't have the credentials to match his. Definitely not. Penisology and all. [2020-09-17 21:41:57] [Eddie Holmes] Sounds like he can enlarge your credentials for a fee. [2020-09-17 21:42:48] [Kristian Andersen] No need. [2020-09-17 21:43:05] [Eddie Holmes] :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: [2020-09-17 21:45:01] [Kristian Andersen] I'll see myself out. :door: [2020-09-18 05:14:36] [Robert Garry] "Daszak appointment seems to have united everyone!" Since we're making analogies to classic literature, I'll point out that this was the precise plotline of visionary author Alan Moore's *Watchmen*. Trump is definitely a dystopian version of Nixon, while Daszak has substantial equivalence to a genetically-engineered squid. As for all the Twitter "love" I do have to admit it's impressive! It makes Covidfaker's collection of hate-tweets seem almost tame. [2020-09-18 05:55:33] [Robert Garry] Unfortunately, Daszak's farce is already a tragedy. It's mind-blowing that Sachs/Horton appear to have no appreciation how terrible a choice this was. [2020-09-18 10:19:05] [Kristian Andersen] Now we truly have descended into absurdity. OH BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BACTERIA??? THAT'S WEIRD! No it's not - FFS.

In this case self-"censorship" would have served her well. Based on her comments about Yan re being a whistleblower I'm guessing there are some Chinese politics going on that I'll never understand. A hard lesson to let the science drive the science rather than letting your personal political views drive the science. [2020-09-18 14:44:51] [Eddie Holmes] Bacteria! Insane. Yes, she's not a whistleblower - just a fantasist with an axe to grind. [2020-09-18 14:53:30] [Kristian Andersen]
