SLACK_001027 Was just on a call with NIH leadership.... Fucking eDim! [Kristian Andersen] This is 100% definitely not GOF.. It's unbelievably dumb. [Eddie Holmes] We wrote our paper in early Feb prior to widespread COVID in the US so he's lying there. Indeed, he was very keen at the time: [Eddie Holmes] shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-05-15 at 6.39.23 am.png [Eddie Holmes] The problem though is that we should clearly have done exactly Kristian didn't want to do: [Eddie Holmes] shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-05-15 at 6.41.11 am.png [Eddie Holmes] Lipkin is no better than Covidfaker. Absolute scum. I'm done with him. [Robert Garry] Good plan! BL's Daddy probably didn't like him either. [Robert Garry] BTW- Covidfaker once told me that BL offered him a job - Covidfaker so, probably a lie, but that would have been quite a team. [Robert Garry] Jamie plus Yuri - really kind of sick. [shared file(s): image.png] [Eddie Holmes] Long game. [Kristian Andersen] Long game indeed. It's going to hurt them further down the line - but let's have them have this little victory lap first. I trust this team enough that I know science will ultimately prevail. [Eddie Holmes] The other problem is that all this chest-beating will make China less willing to share data. We need to keep the channels of communication open so that we might be able to find out WTF is going on and WTF happened. cS I said, you attract more bees with sugar than vinegar.
