[Kristian Andersen] Already in touch... Scripps wrote all the institutions earlier last week. I told them to expect more bs to come :face_with_rolling_eyes: [2020-09-27 19:39:02] [Eddie Holmes] I said the same. Such a pain. [2020-09-28 04:39:53] [Robert Garry] But, he did have a Venn Diagram.

[2020-09-28 14:10:01] [Eddie Holmes] I blocked him ages ago. Offensive. Usual garbage in the questions...everything is a conspiracy. I had to laugh at #64 and the wide-angle Simplot view. These people are mad. [2020-09-29 02:31:40] [Eddie Holmes] In other news, I got a nice email from Stanley Plotkin. @Andrew Rambaut he reminded me of the Hooperfest at the Royal Society. A conspiracy theory from a previous pandemic. [2020-09-29 03:04:18] [Andrew Rambaut] Seems like a different era. Can you imagine having a similar meeting on this? Mind you Hooper has been abusing Mike Worobey for years. [2020-09-29 04:01:27] [Robert Garry] "A conspiracy theory from a previous pandemic." It's really deja vu all over again. A serious virus emerges from nature. Then, you have the made in a lab crowd, the accidental release crowd [sorta like Hooper], the Plandemic cults and the deniers pouring out from the woodwork and from under their rocks. COVID-19 whips it all up [with the help of social media] into an extra toxic stew by adding in international politics [with more than a hint of racism although AIDS had/has that too] and of course the Fox/Bannon/Trumpists.
