[2020-10-10 16:24:10] [Eddie Holmes] This is pretty entertaining.

As for SongFei2017 - definitely part of proTrump efforts. As for @Kristian Andersen it's good to see that his reputation is > Dr Yan https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-the-pandemic-has-taught-us-about-science-11602255638 [2020-10-11 09:14:20] [Robert Garry] 5M [shared file(s): image.png] [2020-10-11 18:56:08] [Robert Garry] Seems like the "prior art" goes back several years.

Alina's statement about the 'research integrity' of the viruses closest to SARS-CoV-2 is a disgrace.

[2020-10-12 15:16:30] [Eddie Holmes] Totally. That they have to resort to talking about fraudulent studies and research integrity just shows how devoid of actual data they are.
