This is not the only paper to make comments about failures interpreting electron micrographs with respect to COVID-19: https://jasn.asnjournals.org/content/31/9/2223#ref-2 … The virions may easily be confused for clathrin-coated vesicles.

Further, this paper notes that infection of human primary endothelial cells by SARS-CoV-2 did not occur until they were induced to express ACE2, which was not detected within them by profiling RNA or protein:https://mbio.asm.org/content/11/6/e03185-20 …

Basically, it doesn't look too great for this hypothesis. That brings us to the vaccine claim. One individual has argued that it would be dangerous for individuals who had previously recovered from COVID-19 to receive these vaccines due to purported viral endothelialitis.

Yes, and this individual is behaving very much like a crank. (Just check out my addendum.) Dude complained to my department chair to try to shut me up and doesn’t care that RFK Jr. republished his message as antivax propaganda.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/01/29/noorchashm-spreading-fear-of-covid-19-vaccines-on-an-antivax-website/ …

Yes. I told him that the only other people who have tried to silence me by complaining to my bosses about a blog post have been antivaxxers and cancer quacks. Not a good look. He’s heading into crank territory.

The whole sequence of events is disquieting. Letting RFK Jr use your words to undermine confidence in a vaccine you purport to support? That's either an unprecedented level of naivete or you're lying about your support

I think that he just has this idée fixe that he’s become obsessed with, so much so that he just can’t accept what a bad thing it is for antivaxxers to have co-opted his message and can’t back down when criticized for it. He’s just too convinced of his own righteousness.

Could be. Whatever the explanation, I hope reason triumphs over ego.

If it hasn’t by now, it’s unlikely ever to happen, I fear.

I’m also tired of his hypocrisy. He’s constantly lecturing about being “polite” and “decent” even as he likens his critics to Trump supporters and pro-life nut jobs while calling them fools.

Check out his timeline. He’s claiming that it wasn’t his intent in writing to my chairman to try to silence me. I’m half tempted to publish his email, which my chairman forwarded to me.
