RSSJim has responded to Ron’s book review. Quote: “Why doesn’t Ron like Dani’s story? She was his Wuhan witness to an American (economic) bioweapon attack on Iran. … Ironically, fact-checker Dani Anderson banned Ron and others from Facebook over that article.”

On X someone commented on Kevin’s interview with Ron and Jim: “Jim you showed the patience of a saint putting up with Ron constantly interrupting you and misrepresenting your perspective (while presenting zero evidence for his theories). The truth is always difficult to pin down, especially with so much at stake. My gut says you’re right.” x.com/RedactedJackson/status/1878525833649828010
My impression is there is a huge gap between Ron’s self-perception and how others perceive him. I think Ron calling other people “Internet lunatics” is quite ironic.
Thanks, I'll take a look at his post when I have a chance. But I hardly hid my total shock at his claims about Anderson. Here's what I wrote:

However, when I checked, I discovered that what he'd written was total fiction. I really don't like being fooled like that.
Upon reading the first few paragraphs of Haslam’s book and the pages that followed, my eyes nearly popped out of my head. For several years, I’d been regularly citing Dr. Danielle Anderson as “the single best eyewitness” to the internal workings of the Wuhan lab. But according to Haslam, she had actually been Patient Zero, the asymptomatic “Typhoid Mary” who had personally started the gigantic global epidemic that had devastated the entire world. I was utterly flabbergasted at that revelation. Anderson’s carelessness with a needle-stick had cost us 30 million lives, probably making her responsible for more deaths and human suffering than any other single individual in all of world history.
Razib, I’m sorry that I didn’t make myself more clear. “Retarded” is a term that is offensive to those with mental issues and their families. Calling someone retarded as an insult is offensive to the mentally impaired in the same way that insulting someone by calling him a nigger, spic, hebe, chink, jap, wop, gook, or camel jockey denigrates everyone from that culture.
Razib, please don’t use “retarded”. It is an offensive word that has strongly negative overtones.
