@R_H_Ebright @amymaxmen @VanityFair pretty striking to have a once-eminent professor reduced to schoolyard name-calling in defense of problematic journalism... Not sure where that gets you, but ok here's what I read...
@R_H_Ebright @amymaxmen @VanityFair Article quotes trump admin official saying it “smelled like a cover-up” (innuendo). Any evidence of a cover-up? None given. Instead, evidence shows pretty clearly what Trump appointees were pushing didn’t pass basic basic scientific rigor so career experts refused advance it.
@R_H_Ebright @amymaxmen @VanityFair Article questions WHO’s independence because (innuendo) WHO didnt appoint US officials. From a government that had announced withdrawal from the WHO? That’s just silly.
@R_H_Ebright @amymaxmen @VanityFair Article suggests some sort of attempt to hide NIH funding to WIV (innuendo)—except it’s all a matter of public record and reporting.
@R_H_Ebright @amymaxmen @VanityFair Article suggests WIV wasn’t safe because coronavirus research was being conducted in insecure BSL-3 lab—except 👇

@R_H_Ebright @amymaxmen @VanityFair So, yes Prof Ebright, I read the article. It implies all sorts of nefarious things that dont hold up to scrutiny. Which in a highly-politicitized environment like this hurts, rather than helps, advance science, transparency, and public health.
@R_H_Ebright @amymaxmen @VanityFair I dont know you Prof @R_H_Ebright. haven't attacked you. Clearly you've done important work in Chemistry. We might even agree on some things.
But on this issues, if you've got facts to share, please bring them.
Or just keep calling me names, I've gotten far worse
