[2020-11-18 20:39:06] [Eddie Holmes] Wiley are now on my banned list. [2020-11-18 20:45:21] [Kristian Andersen] Hah, that would never have made it through as a preprint... Yeah, Wiley is junk, junk, junk. [2020-11-18 20:45:45] [Kristian Andersen] Rossana is fucking nuts and just such a giant amateur. [2020-11-18 20:49:52] [Eddie Holmes] [thread - ID: 2020-11-18 20:49:52] Totally nuts. I can't believe they got away saying that H1N1 of 1977 was a lab escape from China!!! It was actually a shonky vaccination campaign. [2020-11-18 20:51:08] [Kristian Andersen] ... I missed that part. I thought it was the Russians - but hey, same thing, right? I can see Alina has gone full-on conspiracy with this too. Good stuff. It'll be hilarious looking back at these tweets in a couple of years. [2020-11-18 20:53:06] [Kristian Andersen] Hah! We have Joel to thank for the China emergence of H1N1 :wink: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0011184 [2020-11-18 20:53:36] [Kristian Andersen] (I know he's been working on SARS-CoV-2 to look at origins - interested to see what he comes up with). [2020-11-18 20:57:34] [Eddie Holmes] Somebody had some Twitter correspondence with Jon Cohen and presented all the evidence that 1977 H1N1 was a dodgy vaccine. There was a pretty convincing paper that Jon seemed to buy. I did. I'll see if I can find it. [2020-11-18 20:58:10] [Eddie Holmes] Plus, that Nature Addendum makes all the miners story totally out-of-date. [2020-11-18 21:20:30] [Kristian Andersen] Yeah, 1977 is definitely an escape - and likely linked to vaccine work. I thought in Russia though. [2020-11-18 21:35:34] [Eddie Holmes] This is what I was thinking of: [shared file(s): mBio-2015-Rozo-e01013-15.full.pdf] [2020-11-18 21:36:50] [Eddie Holmes] Suggests is a dodgy vaccine trial NOT an escape.
