Remember he "totally dismantled" the multi-market virological post, not to mention his Bayesian analysis [which - it's a bit beyond me - involves mathematics to some degree]. [2021-05-24 12:45:29] [Kristian Andersen] Yup - I'm glad to see they select people based on merit and not based on their views. I went through his Bayesian analysis - it's kinda funny and oh so wrong.

I knew he was talking shit. All this press and there has not been a SINGLE PIECE of new evidence for the lab leak. [2021-05-24 13:38:18] [Kristian Andersen] Exactly. The recent interest is driven not by data, but rather by a lack thereof.

[2021-05-24 15:30:33] [Robert Garry] THANKS For clarifying that TF! [2021-05-24 15:32:48] [Kristian Andersen] I might have been able to do a little convincing yesterday morning to make him a little more confident in that statement - good! His team was pushing on him pretty hard to come out and say that natural emergence is _much_ more likely - I'm glad he did! [2021-05-24 15:33:40] [Eddie Holmes] Huge! [2021-05-24 15:34:15] [Robert Garry] Agreed! [2021-05-24 15:34:20] [Kristian Andersen] All of this is so fucking dumb. Glad to see David and Andrew hammering the "it's conspiracy" really hard on Twitter too :wink:
