In less diplomatic language, GISAID is power mad and is jeopardising worldwide monitoring of current diseases, and possible future pandemics, by restricting information to researchers on entirely spurious grounds.
On Oct 1, 2025, GISAID informed us that they had ended updates to the flat file of SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences and associated metadata that we had used to update Nextstrain analyses since Feb 2020. GISAID's stated rationale was that their "resources are limited". 1/5

Here's a funny thing from ChatGPT o1. We're used to LLMs being overly/comically keen to admit they're wrong and then effusively backtrack as soon as you make even a slight suggestion that there might be more to it, to the point where it feels like they're just humouring you.
