Thea K Fischer, Prof. i PH Virus Inf. og Epidemics on X: "This was NOT my experience either on the Epi-side. We DID build up a good relationsship in the Chinese/Int Epi-team! Allowing for heated arguments reflects a deep level of engagement in the room. Our quotes are intendedly twisted casting shadows over important scientific work."

    This was NOT my experience on

    @WHO

    mission. As lead of animal/environment working group I found trust & openness w/ my China counterparts. We DID get access to critical new data throughout. We DID increase our understanding of likely spillover pathways. nytimes.com/2021/02/12/wor…

    Hear! Hear! It's disappointing to spend time w/ journalists explaining key findings of our exhausting month-long work in China, to see our colleagues selectively misquoted to fit a narrative that was prescribed before the work began. Shame on you

    Some journalists just use quotes out of the context. When scientists are angry like this and even say Shame on NYT, it shows how bad journalism was done by the reporters. NYT is overall a good paper, but it also endorsed Iraq War.
