No biggie...
Just shuttled some S genes around to see which ones will kill monkey cells.
Let’s do this in a BL2 lab over in China while it’s outlawed here in the States.
In all of my publishing career, I’ve never seen a paper get edited 5 years later to remove references and flip the meaning of critical sentences.
This is a panicked attempt to cover.
Well, at least they had the ethics committee look over the animal rights.
Wonder what else they should have thought about?
Nothing to see here.
“Tony is right. Dr. Paul is wrong.”
Why would this respected virologist dig their heels in like this?
Maybe this is a hard statement to back off of.
This is also hard to Ignore.
I tried to engage Daszak on this but I was blocked in 2 words.
Looks like Twitter isn’t letting him have any part of this white-washing.
🔥Scientific Misconduct and Plagiarism from Dr. Richard Fleming🔥.
The Journal has been made aware of Richard Fleming plagiarizing our primer sequences and not citing them.
I normally wouldn't care. They are open source but the same primer table in @DJSpeicher et al contained the SV40 primer sequences he NEVER used while still claiming SV40 was not detected. He claimed this 3 times but never actually tested for SV40.
Irony.. Fleming was bragging about his work was peer reviewed.
Or Peer stolen, twisted and obfuscated... but to what ends? Who does Fleming work for and did he copy these sequences and refuse to cite the work while spreading non sense about the SV40 sequences?
What are the odds they picked the same primers by chance?
