[2021-05-04 00:41:46] [Andrew Rambaut] [thread - ID: 2021-05-03 20:25:28] @Eddie Holmes Which is quite a name... [2021-05-04 01:31:14] [Eddie Holmes] [thread - ID: 2021-05-03 20:25:28] @Eddie Holmes That's the one. [2021-05-04 04:49:29] [Robert Garry] [thread - ID: 2021-05-03 20:25:28] @Eddie Holmes So this really is a Borat movie? [2021-05-04 08:36:39] [Robert Garry] Secrets of peer review: https://www.minervanett.no/angus-dalgleish-birger-sorensen-coronavirus/the-fight-for-a-controversial-article/362519 [2021-05-04 08:55:27] [Kristian Andersen] Aaaaahahahaha, "The authors suspect foul play and political considerations". Nope - but as I said, "Andersen last week told Sky news that Sørensen's and Dalgleish's work was "complete nonsense, unintelligible, and not even remotely scientific - leading the authors to make unfounded and unsupported conclusions about the origin of SARS-CoV-2"" [2021-05-04 08:55:39] [Kristian Andersen] Playing the victim - they're good at that. [2021-05-04 09:04:52] [Robert Garry] Yes - they are all aggrieved parties - especially Alina. Her nonsense [can't assemble RatG13, pangoviruses; SC2 perfectly adapted etc] not better than Sørensen's and Dalgleish's "work." Journalists supporting this crap are culpable. [2021-05-04 10:52:49] [Kristian Andersen] Interesting A lineage franken variant we just picked up in Jordan - travel associated case from Sudan. Interesting evolutionary stuff going on on the African continent...
