1. Anonymous Critique of the recent paper by Worobey

Dissecting the early COVID-19 cases in Wuhan

science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

"The article is, frankly speaking, utter bullshit. It’s a review of available data & the very first referenced work states the opposite of what he claims"
2. Quote from Worobey

“Despite assertions to the contrary (1), it is now clear that live mammals susceptible to coronaviruses, including raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides), were sold at Huanan Market & three other live-animal markets in Wuhan before the pandemic (2, 3).”
3. Incorrect Citations

Plainly, reference 1 should assert that no live mammals susceptible to coronaviruses were sold at the live animal markets in Wuhan.

In fact, reference 1 states the exact opposite on Pages 8 and 108 (conclusions)

This article is not off to a good start…

2. Multi-agent/agent specific thrust

"the approach. will be targeted to a specific pathogen, but It Is applicable to several different pathogens. For example, an approach may be used to develop therapeutics against 20 different pathogens"
3. Professor Ron Taylor

This project started in May 1996 at the University of Virginia. Taylor and his colleagues developed a heteropolymer that functions on the one end to connect to the CR 1 site of the red blood cells, while the other end is tailored to the specific pathogen.

1. Edward Hopper reveals dirt on Eddie Holmes, Andrew Rambaut, Michael Worobey, Kristian Anderson, Jon Cohen & Robert Garry

Old rumours resurface?

2. Scrutiny of Anderson et al authors

Let’s take a look at the co-authors of the March 17th Nature letter:

I realised, to my surprise, that I had already encountered 3 of the 5 co-authors & they were not people whose work had impressed me on identifying the origins of diseases
3. Eddie Holmes

"It is therefore possible that he is unconsciously sympathetic to Chinese colleagues, and sensitised to avoiding the causing of embarrassment to his hosts"
