You might be wondering why we haven't updated outbreak.info for months.
Well, the reason is that GISAID cut our access in January - as they did others. Without telling us.
After a ♾️ back and forth, that is now permanent.
More on that soon - and why GISAID should not be trusted with critical data.

I think it’s even worse than that. It co-opts the language of open science to give political appointees virtually unlimited latitude to designate reasonable scientific activity and inferences as scientific misconduct, and to punish those involved accordingly.

This EO is a lot of words for a rule that basically says, political appointees will overrule scientists in deciding what the government considers factual information.
