On Atlantic article:
Authors of the preprint that was source of Atlantic article are now locked out of the database from which the data item came. Almost certainly because they violated TOS for front running a paper in review using the data loaded onto the database to enable review.
And note the authors are a Who’s Who of zoonoti who’ve been ultra nasty to anyone with a different view and, as FOIA emails make clear, view their primary mission as controlling the message by any means necessary. (The Gao paper, which is the source of the data they front ran, won’t say what they want it to. Hence violating TOS, publishing in Atlantic before preprint out, bizarre message in preprint, …)
