[Robert Garry] Strikes me as a little odd that Relman would believe that this was a little odd. [2021-05-28 14:00:19] [Kristian Andersen] Exactly - but if you have either (a) not looked at the data, or (b) don't understand the data, this would be a very logical standpoint. But here's the problem - it's uninformed. [2021-05-28 14:03:53] [Robert Garry] But hey - mission accomplished - they are getting a lot of time in the media. All the stuff that Amy wrote about is not a consideration. [2021-05-28 14:22:21] [Eddie Holmes] How are BioEssays able to publish this nonsense? [2021-05-28 14:29:42] [Eddie Holmes] I'm genuinely ashamed to be a scientist at the moment. We look like total dick heads. What ever happen to reason? [2021-05-28 14:36:48] [Kristian Andersen] Reason, data, evidence, statistics - come on man, opinion is what matters!

Do yourself a favor and read it - and then ask yourself this question "Since then, what new data have we gotten to support a lab leak?". https://img-prod.tgcom24.mediaset.it/images/2020/02/16/114720192-5eb8307f-017c-4075-a697-348628da0204.pdf [2021-05-28 14:39:08] [Kristian Andersen] I love how simple the paper is - I also love the fact that the paper was named "nCov_Lancet". I guess it never got published :slightly_smiling_face: [2021-05-28 14:45:27] [Eddie Holmes] Ha, spot on. Nothing whatsoever. [2021-05-28 14:48:35] [Eddie Holmes]
