@R_H_Ebright@seeshawn@strom_m@edwardcholmes@arambaut@Ayjchan This dispute on 'first open' is getting 'better'. GISAID formally wrote to authors who acknowledged Virological post as world's first release of 2019ncov, penalised authors of MN908947, didn't ID who...... 1/3
Supposedly from Fudan or UoS, ACCESSED and KNEW IVDC's 'initial' submission of IVDC-01/05 on GISAID on 10th Jan, 2020, via login records of his/her/theirs GISAID account credentials. Hence as a point to point rebuttal to 'pressure' & 'urge' to release the fastaqc file... 2/3

To be clear, the below was NOT a secret, to my🗺️ colleagues since 2020. Speak on behalf of most of us, the reason of silence varied: occupied hours fighting against 🦠; didn't want to engage in the 🤮 twisted power play between various parties; been there, done that, didn't care.
our reason to post here, still varied: ridiculous fictions by various influential agency and person(we wish you all have the dignity to retract your stories and books); outrageous suppression by private database to acknowledge the fact; Urgency for global data sharing consensus;
To remove the tumors of public health system; most important of all, the magnitude of COIVD made us thinking, what went wrong, again?
To be crystal clear AGAIN, this pandemic demonstrated the failure of our public health responses in every country, no exception. The future way out is to make ourselves better, stronger, together, and have a clear weight in mind of general people's well being over personal gains.
Spare us with your excuses such as grand interest, economics......and particularly 'science without politics', if we rephrase politics as compromise or quid-pro-quo, they are as common in our research as your daily pint......
COI: worked with SARS,HIV,EV71,H1N1,Ebola,MERS,H7N9 etc outbreaks in CDC.
And calling for authors of first genomes, including MN908947 to publicly disclose their COI with companies.
