Thanks for your support. I had no intention to talk about COVID19; it is not the theme of the meeting. All my work until 26 Jan. 2020 has been non-COVID computational biology. I really do not what happened although some say this incident is great free publicity for them. Smart!

Perhaps they just want you to prove your fantastical COVID claims before you try to influence public policy. Eg. I am sure you can explain why this graph does not provide evidence that USA C19 infections grew exponentially for a month before NPIs slowed it.

Shocking is an understatement. If we cannot have independent, rational voices in science who do not appear to fall in line with what people want, science as we know is dead. History reminds us that often one lone voice against the groupthink is often proved right. Sad indeed.

That's what freedom of speech looks like. It's perfectly understandable that people with reputations to protect would not want to appear on the same (virtual) stage with a notorious eugenicist whose public policy advice has led to tens of thousands of deaths.

No. Freedom of speech is conferred on the individual. Michael gets to say what he believes, as do people who disagree. Restricting others' freedom of speech--whether by de-platforming, extortion, or otherwise--is just censorship.
