Others have already revealed troll @AtomsksSanakan is scientist Nana Owusu-Boaitey, although he repeatedly denied it.

Therefore I set to factcheck if the David Gorski endorsed troll comparing people to Holocaust deniers or bullying them as mentally ill & dumb is indeed Nana.
1/n
2. Beside @fraudofseo's find, there was also a Nana Owusu-Boaitey collaborator. But 1st to provide evidence was @msabouri. So @AtomsksSanakan denied it, made his signature threat to report, twisted the Twitter rules & claimed Nana is a girl name. Not in Ghana where Nana's from.
3. Using public information I'll show Nana Owusu-Boaitey & @AtomsksSanakan are the same person which is not doxxing no matter how he twists the Twitter rules to claim otherwise. I'm not doing it to spite Atomsk, but to show how bullying scientist Nana uses anonymity unethically!
4. @atomskssanakan lived in MD, is linked to UMBC, studied Ethics & Biology, in Jul 2012 was a 21yro doing a PhD in Immunology.
Nana Owusu-Boaitey lived in MD, graduated at UMBC,
studied Ethics & Biology, in Jul 2012 was a 21yro doing a PhD in Immunology at WUSTL.
5. @AtomsksSanakan decided to do a medical school after his Immunology PhD. He also lived in PEI & Halifax, Canada with his wife.
Nana Owusu-Boaitey also decided to do @CWRUSOM medical school after his Immunology PhD. He also lived in PEI & Halifax, Canada with his wife.
6. Using just public information (no private data was provided in this thread so there's no doxxing) it is abundantly clear that @AtomsksSanakan is indeed Nana K. Owusu-Boaitey. This is relevant because Nana is using the Atomsk account unethically both scientifically & socially!
7. @AtomsksSanakan created this fake image of himself being a successful published scientist posing as an authority in debunking and criticizing other scientists. In reality, beside his E.coli PhD thesis, Nana Owusu-Boaitey has never authored any study!
orcid.org/0000-0003-0974…
8. As coauthor @AtomsksSanakan only had several minor contributions. Which is a good thing since he claimed stage 3 trials don't test safety. Statistics-wise he falsely claimed if 0 is in the CI, he can infer the pop. mean to be 0! @andrewtlevin had Nana screen Covid19 studies?😬
9. MD who doesn't get drug safety nor Statistics might decide on public or patients' health? Meanwhile Nana's attack of @DrJBhattacharya was lauded by @stephaniemlee @DrRachaelF @TriggerLoop @drjenndowd @SGriffin_Lab @mbeisen @siminevazire @JohnRInglis 🐏
10. On 14 Aug '20 Owusu-Boaitey is added by @andrewtlevin to his SARS2 meta-study 3rd version. Nana @AtomsksSanakan starts pushing it & using it more aggressively in debates. While mimicking impartiality & failing to say he's coauthor! One with no grasp of Statistics & unethical!
11. We should check the 2 studies Owusu-Boaitey coauthored with @andrewtlevin @GidMK @BillHanage @anup_malani @baileyfosdick @satejsoman for Nana's statistical error. Maybe they used the "0 in CI" fallacy to 'disappear' inconvenient seroprevalence studies.
FYA: @GlobalHealthBMJ
12. Beside his scientific shortfalls, Nana Owusu-Boaitey used @AtomsksSanakan to bully, blackmail, accuse people of mental illness & retardation, sexual harassment, etc. He also hypocritically accused & reported others of the things HE was doing.
FYA: @KeithMHarmon @UMBC
13. From the many hurtful or plainly deranged @AtomsksSanakan tweets this one stands out: he repeatedly harassed and bullied a veteran by calling him a mentally ill senile! As a @CWRUSOM MD student does Nana Owusu-Boaitey know most veterans suffer from PTSD? FYA: @CynthiaKubuPhD
14. I started feeling depressed reading @AtomsksSanakan's abusive tweets because I realized there are literarily hundreds of them! It all turned into farce when I noticed he called others silly tens of times while this week he got me suspended for 12hrs for using silly once!🤨
15. What's not silly is Nana Owusu-Boaitey smearing me as being like the Holocaust deniers! I've been fighting anti-Semitism since I was 16 so this is very hurtful to me. His reason? Because I stated the fact Baltimore still thinks the SARS2 FCS could be a sign of engineering!
16. Instead of stopping he doubled down when I stated the fact Gallaher's FCS hypothesis hasn't been validated. It's rather speculative & flawed. He then teamed up for a 3rd time with @ScienceBasedMed's David Gorski @waynestate who when further and smeared me as anti-Semitic!
17. Once again, this is not doxxing. I also don't want him suspended. I just wanted to show Nana is not using @AtomsksSanakan for a good cause but also to hurt people & project the false image of a scientific authority. When he's actually just a dilettante.
A bully & a charlatan!

Plot twist in the "SARS2 present in live mammals in late '19" disinformation!

There's evidence the lie originated in a summary Worobey et al. sent journalists writing about the Feb '22 preprints! Are @carlzimmer @benjmueller @PucktheMedia & @Vic_Gill just (un)witting tools.
1/n
2. I found identical talking points in S. Lepore’s Mail article published in tandem with @carlzimmer’s NYT piece on Feb 26. Meaning @Vic_Gill didn’t plagiarize Zimmer in her July 26 BBC piece. They were all sent the same false claim not present in the Worobey & @jepekar studies!
3. Four hours after publication @carlzimmer corrected the false claim in his article, but @nytimes kept the lie in the article summary, thus still pushing the disinformation every time it’s searched on google or shared on social media! NYT could easily correct it in 1 minute!

Say what you will about China Foreign Ministry @zlj517 but with "independent" @janeqiuchina he managed to pull a big coup inside western science! Jane skillfully ingratiated herself among our zoonati then dealt a devastating blow to their market double zoonosis hypothesis!
1/n
2. Seeing the CCP allow Jane Qiu transgressions I did’t imagine she was actually a time bomb. In 2021 she pushed Worobey but not the Chinese official correcting him! Jane was also quiet about Gao’s preprint invalidating Worobey! Jane was winning hearts.🙂
3. In Feb 2020 China pushed the idea that SARS2 jumped from animals in the Huanan market. The western zoonati ran happily with it. Only to be dismissed in May by China CDC director George Gao. They then made the tactical mistake to stick with the market zoonosis.

The Proximal Origin of "SARS2 was present in live mammals in late 2019" Disinformation

Dispositive evidence shows @carlzimmer was its progenitor on 26 Feb. Same lie was introduced this week by @Vic_Gill who plagiarized Zimmer, and @reenabhardwaj(?) who stole from Gill & CNN.
1/n
2. @carlzimmer made the false claim in a @nytimes front-page article about the 2022 Worobey preprint. 4hrs later he edited it adding "was VERY LIKELY present" but the summary still keeps the original falsehood.
Meanwhile it got +1000 RTs including Farrar's with the false quote.
3. Farrar's Wellcome Trust funded 5 Worobey & Pekar coauthors and has ties to the BBC Science editor @BBCMorelle & journo @Vic_Gill. In her July 26th article Gill clearly plagiarized Zimmer. Her own falsehood appeared next day in the BBC chyron & in many syndicated articles!

Why did journo @Vic_Gill & editor @BBCMorelle turn @BBCScienceNews into Worobey's propaganda machine? Victoria Gill & the chyron spread the lie that: live mammals sold at Wuhan market in late '19 had SARS2!
Gill, Morelle & 5 coauthors have links to Farrar's Wellcome Trust.
1/n Image
2. In Jan 2020 Jeremy Farrar coordinated Andersen, Holmes, Rambaut, Garry & Lipkin to write Proximal Origin claiming SARS2 is zoonotic & not a lab leak. 4 of them are now coauthors (2 Wellcome Trust funded) of the Worobey & @jepekar 2022 studies generating the BBC disinformation! Image
3. Victoria Gill did BBC promotional materials for and participated in events sponsored by Wellcome Trust.
Rebecca Morelle worked and is advisor for Science Media Centre funded by Wellcome.
Three other Worobey coauthors Robertson, Lemey & Suchard are funded by @JeremyFarrar's WT. ImageImageImageImage

I never thought I'd write this: @janeqiuchina wrote a good balanced origin article! And because she poured cold water over the Worobey & Pekar articles, the western zoonati are giving her the cold shoulder. Just compare the likes to her previous favorable piece on Worobey!🤷‍♂️
1/n
2. Refuting Worobey with this quote from pro lab leak Virginie Courtier “We shouldn’t base important statements on correlation” was a big no no! Also @Biol4Ever published an earlier study disproving a Huanan market zoonosis. I'm afraid Jane might even get blocked by Worobey!😆
3. Jane Qiu is gonna lose her western zoonati friends if she keeps expecting them to employ solid scientific arguments in their SARS2 origin studies. Thank god she went to NatGeo, @hholdenthorp from @ScienceMagazine would've never publish such heresy from Jane! Cc: @sciencecohen.

China's Feb 2020 pangolin as SARS2 intermediate disinformation campaign had help from US scientists Wong & Petrosino from Baylor College. Their Jan '20 study served as primer & validation for the Chinese studies. With help from Peter Hotez. Plus Daszak, Shi & Collins cameos!
1/n
2. How did 4 gut microbiome scientists with near zero coronavirus experience manage - in just 6 days! - to design a study, run days long databases searches, analyze results & write the article "Evidence of recombination in coronaviruses implicating pangolin origins of nCoV-2019"!
3. In another sign of coordination Wong submitted the preprint on the same day Feb 7th 2020 as Lam et al. & both named their sequence Pangolin-CoV! Proximal Origin coauthor Eddie Holmes was one of Lam's coauthors. Same name was also used by Xiao & Liu in their Feb '20 preprints!
