And good choice taking yourself off the paper - I did the same on Charles' paper too because he wouldn't listen to sense either. Some scientists are so full of themselves by now - but this has to be the worst example I have seen. [2021-03-01 14:50:20] [Eddie Holmes] Just so my emails make sense, the text that I am commenting on stated that UK govt policy was based on Emma's tweet. At the very least the corresponding authors need to be told this is insulting. [2021-03-01 14:52:32] [Andrew Rambaut] Yeah - we wrote a report which went in to the SoS [2021-03-01 14:55:36] [Andrew Rambaut] Then technical notes went to WHO and other governments. [2021-03-01 14:57:31] [Eddie Holmes] This should be pointed out. I'm very disappointed with Nick Goldman as he tried to defend all this. I got my name removed from the Email chains. [2021-03-01 14:58:56] [Kristian Andersen] Too harsh?

[2021-03-01 15:00:58] [Kristian Andersen] "Ignores" - better. [2021-03-01 15:01:14] [Eddie Holmes] Yes indeed [2021-03-01 15:04:30] [Andrew Rambaut] I can just imagine the cringy reply about how everyone worked super hard. [2021-03-01 15:05:39] [Kristian Andersen] Hah - there's no going back from this other than a full retraction. This is embarrassing beyond belief. [2021-03-01 15:09:26] [Eddie Holmes]
