This is a complete misrepresentation of both what I said, and the contents of the paper, @BallouxFrancois.
Nowhere did I call for “mass-anal swabbing.”
Rather, I suggested it may have a role to play in improving research.
I request you retract your comments and apologise.

Seems like the director of an institute promoting himself as unbiased on COVID-19 should hold himself to a higher standard, huh.

@skepticalzebra may be anonymous on twitter, which I have a lot of understanding for. Though, she is a clinician, with a grounding in bioethics and has shown far more understanding, common sense and empathy than most, including during this grotesque episode. -
That doesn't really answer my question. I, too understand twitter anonymity, but it was certainly not the main point. Also, calling it a "grotesque episode" seems odd given that the issue comes from a misrepresentation you made of someone else's words

Yes, strawman exactly ! I got so much slack from them and their Twitter followers for calling it that. Yet of course that's what it was :) I'm relieved, but these Twitter battles are exhausting... Real life goes on.
