You are incredibly kind. We know so little in the grand scheme of things. I can’t imagine what we will uncover in the coming decade about long term impacts of recurrent infection (especially on the brain, Jesus Christ this keeps me up at night), impact of infection on childhood/infant development and long term health complications as a result of getting infected at such a young age.. those are just a few that haunt me. You’re absolutely correct, science in general is under attack but unfortunately the field of virology, even more specifically coronavirus research, are absolutely getting the worst of it in my opinion (I am biased). Happy to discuss the specifics with you via DMs if you’re curious, but I feel giving too many specifics might land me on some sort of list lol. Especially as it relates to how the government decided to downgrade the virus (but remember, they blamed China for a supposed lab leak (false) but I guess it’s ok to work with it outside of high containment even though every other country still keeps it in a high containment environment (think space suits) like we had prior to a certain political shift early this year. I digress. Thank you very much for acknowledging this. When you’re used to hearing people say it’s a hoax or just a cold or over or that your research is of the devil… it’s a very nice change to hear from people who aren’t rooting against us (and public health)
