@MichaelWorobey @stuartjdneil @ScienceMagazine @franciscodeasis @Drinkwater5Reed I guess you concede that your rmap is just plain wrong, after being totally deconstructed by @danwalker9999

@MichaelWorobey @stuartjdneil @ScienceMagazine @franciscodeasis @Drinkwater5Reed @danwalker9999 who also exposed the propagandistic essence of the map and figures used by your colleagues, Holmes et al in their tedious cell paper, replete with errors:

@MichaelWorobey @stuartjdneil @ScienceMagazine @franciscodeasis @Drinkwater5Reed @danwalker9999 In fact the rising number of critiques of your paper and that of Holmes et al in Cell, is evidence of serious problems in both logic and substance.

@MichaelWorobey @stuartjdneil @ScienceMagazine @franciscodeasis @Drinkwater5Reed @danwalker9999 @quay_dr Back to the Holmes et al Cell Paper

zenodo.org/record/5106841…

that effectively spawned your recent paper

it has been hammered constantly on many fronts:

By @Rossana38510044 in a thread here:

@MichaelWorobey @stuartjdneil @ScienceMagazine @franciscodeasis @Drinkwater5Reed @danwalker9999 @quay_dr @Rossana38510044 Yet another excellent and thorough critique by
@aychan here (12th July) of Holmes et al:

A response to “The Origins of SARS-CoV-2: A Critical Review”

@MichaelWorobey @stuartjdneil @ScienceMagazine @franciscodeasis @Drinkwater5Reed @danwalker9999 @quay_dr @Rossana38510044 @aychan We need to call out the infiltration of “fake news” into scientific journals & the utter failure of editorial discretion & peer review to stop it.

The very core of science is under attack, and if nothing is done, the public will rightly lose faith in the scientific community

Keeping up to date with Greek

Variants of concern:

Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Omicron

Variants of interest:

Lambda, Mu

Former variants of interest:

Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Iota, Kappa

Skipped letters: Nu & Xi

Next:

Pi, Rho, Sigma, Tau, Upsilon, Phi, Chi, Psi, Omega
Will Nu and Xi be the only ones skipped?

“WHO best practices for naming diseases suggest avoiding ‘causing offense to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups,”

A variant of concern is not a disease...
May some more be cancelled?

Prudes may find Omega offensive

Pi means Ghost in Thai

@flodebarre @zhihuachen @coroldo1 @emmecola @henri_mourant @stuartjdneil @mrandersoninneo There still seems to be confusion here.

1. The csdata 61.5 mb zip file was removed during the pandemic, not before.
2. csdata page 404ed later
3. zip file not hosted on WIV servers so claims of hack attempts are bullshit.
4. Hack attacks highlighted by WIV in 2019 on WIV website
@flodebarre @zhihuachen @coroldo1 @emmecola @henri_mourant @stuartjdneil @mrandersoninneo 5 Csdata 61.5 mb zip file was static "expression" of WIV database (according to csdata regulations: No Data, No paper)
6 When Csdata discovered WIV removed zip file, they eventually 404ed the page.
7 Other bat virus databases managed by WIV were taken offline at different dates

1. Omicron Thread - A Compilation of Opinions

"finally, the time has slip and slid its slimy course through to us - and we're the vicious bastards of the new generation. we do not relent, and we should not be held to account for our ancestral faults"

2. The Letter Chosen by the WHO

"It's amazing that the Xi variant seems to have somehow managed to evade detection..."

via @readomain

Why 'Omicron', Not 'Nu' or 'Xi'?

WHO Says Two Letters in Greek Alphabet Jumped to 'Avoid Stigma'

3. The Omicron variant has been found in nearly every province of South Africa, as well as Botswana, Belgium, Israel, UK and Hong Kong.

This month, Israel held an exercise, The “Omega Exercise”, meant to prepare for a hypothetical, new COVID-19 variant

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…
