The fact that he added the word 'coronavirus' does not change the fact that SARS (which he in fact did mention before) was a coronavirus. He just added the word 'coronavirus' next to SARS in an existing sentence to emphasize that SARS is a coronavirus. He updated his article but didn't really change its meaning.
It's not that big a deal IMO.
No need to lynch the guy over this.

- pmachinery 6y ago> He just added the word 'coronavirus' next to SARS in an existing sentence to emphasize that SARS is a coronavirus. That isn't what happened. He copied a wall of text about Holland, the US, the UK, the CDC, influenza, H5N1, bird flu, Ebola and specifically snipped out the part about SARS/coronavirus and China. (The text he edited in just last month, in bold.) He basically did the opposite of what he lied about doing. https://web.archive.org/web/20190331190550/https://dominiccummings.com/2019/03/04/the-most-secure-bio-labs-routinely-make-errors-that-could-cause-a-global-pandemic-are-about-to-re-start-experiments-on-pathogens-engineered-to-make-them-mammalian-airborne-transmissible/ https://web.archive.org/web/20190331190550/https://dominiccu...
