BOET:ref* Anyone know what this is about? Anyone want me to suggest them? [Andrew Rambaut] Refers to this paper: RE: "Are pangolins the intermediate host of the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)?" (https://doi.org/10.137 1/journal.ppat. 1008421) [Robert Garry] Timely - since Alina is directing more BS at @Eddie Holmes new pango paper - who would have thought pangos could carry more than one respiratory pathogen? Pretty sure this in more Alina bullying - guessing she sent a new round of letters to PLOS and Nature. @Kristian Andersen answered this on virological. *Vegard Eldholm & Ola B Brynildsrud* _ Norwegian Institute of Public Health_ also weighed in. The horse is dead, but Alina keeps beating it. PLOS should do more than just say the data is ok - it should call out the Alina crap. [Kristian Andersen] Probably just need to reassemble the virus genomes from the provided data - happy to do it @Andrew Rambaut [Robert Garry] Rossana (Yuri's "co=pilot") too - make no mistake RS is accusing us (PO authors) of malfeasance. [shared file(s): image.png, image.png] [Kristian Andersen] Idiots. Plain and simple. [Robert Garry] https://www.unibas.ch/en/News-Events/News/Uni-Research/Conspiracy-theories-and-cogn...]9-pandemic.html?pk_ campaign=UN_20210407_Verschwoerungstheorien [Robert Garry] Turns out most people are idiots. [shared file(s): image.png] [Robert Garry] Or they have been mislead by our "leaders." [Kristian Andersen] Not surprised by this - and honestly, polling scientists on the first two questions, I'm not sure it would change much. [Robert Garry] Sadly - you are likely correct. Should point them to your pinned tweet. Also - this was in Switzerland and Germany. US public much more skewed. Start off with all Trump voters 46% in category 1.
