That's nixed the whole thing immediately. Dominic Dwyer is a good mate of mine. I've no idea why he is on this though, I bet he doesn't either (he's a clinical virologist). Marion and Fabian are good calls. Very glad not to be involved. [2020-11-23 01:00:14] [Eddie Holmes] I guess they need to review clinical data which is why Dominic is on. [2020-11-23 06:57:41] [Robert Garry] Including Daszak on both the WHO and Lancet panels is a gift to the conspiracy theorists. [2020-11-23 09:09:27] [Kristian Andersen] Overall a decent list - but most of these people aren't really the types of people hunting down animal reservoirs... I know Thea - she's great, but not the type of person to investigate emergence.

[2020-11-23 11:50:28] [Eddie Holmes] What is now the point of The Lancet task force? I can't help but think this is a massive own goal. [2020-11-23 13:00:30] [Robert Garry] NO point at all. It's a[nother] vanity project for the Grand Wizard and Richard Horton. Plus, they did not appreciate PO1 getting 5M+ hits and a lot of positive press.
