[2021-06-12 15:53:30] [Kristian Andersen] People have lost their minds. Period. [2021-06-12 15:53:38] [Eddie Holmes] Birrell is a piece of shit. I did laugh at the description of Daszak though. [2021-06-12 15:55:11] [Kristian Andersen] He really is - he's so unbelievably dumb. Low IQ individual. Snail researcher... :joy: [2021-06-12 16:53:17] [Robert Garry] Wizard of Snails - sounds like a playable character in video game. [2021-06-12 17:54:47] [Robert Garry] Worldwide conspiracy to suppress the truth about an outbreak when - on Jan31 there were about 10K cases worldwide. The vast majority in China (>9500). [2021-06-12 18:01:18] [Eddie Holmes] It's an attack on truth and on science [2021-06-12 18:08:41] [Kristian Andersen] This idea that there was some sort of "lab leak suppression campaign" is preposterous and dangerous - I mean, why the FUCK would anybody outside China try to suppress that if we thought it were true? Just doesn't make any sense. People have lost their minds. Period. [2021-06-12 18:10:04] [Kristian Andersen] FWIW Farrar and Fauci did _exactly_ as they were supposed to do - take somewhat outlandish claims very seriously, launched a scientific investigation, alerted the relevant entities, and then stepped back to let science be science. A+ effort. [2021-06-12 18:27:39] [Eddie Holmes] Exactly. Blatant lies are now becoming accepted 'facts' [2021-06-12 18:58:19] [Robert Garry] "Bio-security expert Richard Ebright said that he was 'shocked' Farrar has given such weight to the 'pseudoscientific analysis'." [2021-06-12 19:06:28] [Kristian Andersen] Bio-security expert Richard Ebright - who has contributed a tremendous amount of scholarly work during this pandemic. Makes me sick. :face_vomiting:
