- KennyBlanken 3y agoIf it were fairly controversial, why are you citing a paper in PNAS, the Journal Of Last Refuge for shitty science? The only benefit of being a member of the academy of sciences is that you can dump into PNAS whatever hot trash you couldn't sell to any other journal, because they almost never reject papers from members.
- BryantD 3y agoSorry, not going to do the “your cite doesn’t count because I don’t like some ineffable thing about it” game. There’s a scientific claim in there; I will freely admit that I don’t know enough about viral genetics to have a valid opinion about it. What I do know is that people disagree about the implication of the furin cleavage site and it’s poor form not to acknowledge that.
