Yeah I get that, some of us are gallows types.

You're a joke.

The Intercept consulted 11 scientists who are virologists or work in adjacent fields and hold a range of views on both the ethics of gain-of-function research and the Covid-19 origins search. Seven said that the work appears to meet NIH’s criteria for gain-of-function research.

Oh my god, eleven people just as dumb as you...the odds!

Look, I don't fault you for thinking that fake news is garbage, but I do fault you for claiming to object to fake news while referencing fake news. Fair, don't you think?

Don't you realize that you trashed any credibility here a long time ago? It doesn't matter how many links you post...you are still not the person people are going to seek out for truth...about anything.

You continually post crap about the vaccine yet got it yourself.

You need a new hobby.

I take issue with what the Intercept did to Glenn Greenwald recently, but in general, the Intercept is far more credible a news source than most others. Some scientists consider it gain of function research, while others mostly play word games to say, "well, technically no, but close.", which is pretty much playing the semantics game. When we talked about this before, someone referenced the White House denying that it was gain of function. They also said there were weapons of mass destruction. I couldn't care less how the White House wants to spin things to cover their asses.

So yeah, in my link we have the info gained from the FOIA request, and then they have different scientists interpretation of that information, and the conclusion that they reached from speaking to a bunch of scientists. That's what a news article is supposed to be. I'm sorry that you interpret the article as fake news, but I just don't see it.

I don't give a shit what you take issue with, since you don't take issue with anything consistently. You taking issue signifies nothing in particular.

Glenn Greenwald..........? Fuck, I couldn't have imagined a worse example. You really are unmitigated trash and just can't help it, aren't you? Again, rail all day every day about fake news, I'm with you...but you can't actually do that by reference to fake news. You're just presenting an example of the thing you contend to reject.

Get, your shit, together.

OMG, you found 11 scientists who buy your bullshit. There are more scientists who deny the theory of evolution than that.

Congrats on again embarrassing yourself

Quote:Bret is on the best selling list now for latest book, so clearly people know him. The wokeists reject him now. The same goes for his brother, Eric Weinstein. He's being thrown under the bus for taking the new UFO information seriously. The same goes for Sam Harris. Sam is taking the new UFO information seriously, so that's going to make Sam a fraud to many. Dawkins? Supposedly now he's a fraud who hates transsexual people. Good thing Hitchens died when he did. If he was still around, Hitch would be public enemy number one to the wokeists. You either die a hero, or live to become a villain.

Good thing I never respected any of these idiots and saw them for the dirtbags they always were. Too bad the rest of the Atheist community didn't get the memo being against religion doesn't make you smart or a good person. It's good the spell wore off and they're finally getting the ridicule they should have always received.

7 of 11 scientists they consulted said it was gain of function. They did not ask hundreds of scientists and only find 11 who agreed. That's not what happened. Clearly, you did not read the Intercept article, and just concluded that it was misinformation because it disagrees with your preconceived notions.

I never said they interviewed hundreds and only found 11 nor did I imply that. I said you found 11 scientists that's a pitiful number to make any kind of case on anything and the fact 3 rejected the idea just makes it worst . So this response just looks even sillier and doesn't refute my point at all. I concluded your case is pitiful because it is

So nice try

My apologies then. I believe you read the article. 7 of 11 agreeing that it's gain of function research is 63.6 percent belief that it's gain of function. How is that a pitiful number?
