There’s a name for this because it’s so common: It’s called pass the trash. It’s the idea that serial abusers are worth more than their victims & deserve redemption. Thus abusers get a fresh start & our fields lose talent in droves when targets leave academia for good.

Our recent work on the variolation hypothesis with regards to SARS-CoV-2 and mask wearing is now up on medRxiv. We show that mask wearing reduces the e probability of infection but does little to reduce severity given infection. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our extensive scientific review of SARS-CoV-2 immune memory is published. Antibodies, CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells, memory B cells, and tissue resident cells. After vaccination, infection, or both, ready to battle COVID-19. Open access: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/im… Alessandro Sette

AIDS is a pandemic No, it’s not a really big epidemic. no, not endemic. And no it’s not not-a-pandemic because WHO didn’t declare it. A worldwide set of linked viral epidemics that differ substantially in character but cannot be tackled without transnational action. Pandemic.

Where did the pandemic begin? Was it from nature or a lab? Since the start, this fundamental question has gone unanswered. Until now. Out in Science Magazine: SARS-CoV-2 emerged into humans via the live animal trade at the Huanan Seafood Market. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

So thrilled that our work is now live PLOS Pathogens! This collaborative study revealed that human coronaviruses disassemble cytoplasmic RNA-protein granules called p-bodies. P-bodies regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally. 1/ journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

Here’s a reasonable question: now that the evidence overwhelmingly suggests the pandemic has a natural origin & you have indeed put a lot of scientists in a very dangerous spot, would you actually “feel terrible” that you did all this?

Scientists! Do not fear being balanced about risks and benefits and honest about uncertainties when communicating evidence. This doesn’t undermine trustworthiness (and may boost it for some audiences). -- Our new paper in PNAS Nexus. (1/8) academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/adva…

With all due respect, if you study disinformation, you should not spread it. Dr. Andersen has refuted these conspiracy theories repeatedly—here, in interviews, in written testimony, & under oath before Congress. It’s not his fault if people believe the conspiracy theories anyway

And all that has been repeated multiple times, in multiple fora, with multiple receipts. If you still say “but their emails” and prop up Pandemic Origins Benghazi by defending willful conspiratorial ignorance, you are spreading disinformation that serves an anti-science agenda.

The natural origins view of Covid-19 has a simple and easy to understand narrative that has the advantage of being well-supported by facts. Some people are just determined to ignore it.
