[2021-07-09 05:03:36] [Eddie Holmes] They told me that doesn't matter if it is 'work' related. But, the very fact you using your Uni email shows that you are not hiding anything. [2021-07-09 07:10:16] [Kristian Andersen] To the civets - Zeynep hypothesized that too.... So dumb - just look at the tree and do it properly. Or don't try to do phylogenetics in the first place. [2021-07-09 07:12:11] [Andrew Rambaut] That guy Roger seems like he has some weird idea of how viruses evolve - between host 'quasispecies'. Bonkers [2021-07-09 08:12:59] [Robert Garry] Never use the Q word! [2021-07-09 09:28:00] [Andrew Rambaut] The Edinburgh lawyers are taking the risk of harm approach and are going to refuse to release any emails. It might go to the information commissioner but given all the shit that has happened it seems likely to be accepted. [2021-07-09 09:29:10] [Kristian Andersen] That's great - and definitely the right choice! This has NOTHING to do with "freedom of information" and everything to do with targeted harassment. [2021-07-09 09:30:49] [Andrew Rambaut] It did make me laugh that they asked for my copy of the missing WIV database. Nice try. [2021-07-09 09:31:54] [Andrew Rambaut] The lawyer said that even if I had it they wouldn't release it - but they might have had to say they had it which would have sent Drastic nuts. [2021-07-09 16:18:13] [Eddie Holmes] Good move Andrew - releasing these emails is an attempt to harass. It's a simple as that. [2021-07-09 16:32:22] [Kristian Andersen] FOIA + social media. Nope. [2021-07-15 05:44:23] [Andrew Rambaut] George Gao on a WHO meeting saying they released first genomes on GISAID on 10th Jan. Then said sequence on virological was full of errors and was retracted and then re-released on the 12th. Total bullshit. [2021-07-15 06:46:33] [Andrew Rambaut] @Robert Garry - would be good to fix the issue with the map. Do you have your original one that I adapted? [2021-07-15 06:49:37]
