Andrew Rambaut

Man of Mystery!  All the others have put themselves out there to pump the paper - but Rambaut stayed in the shadows. That's intriguing.  As a next generation computer-whiz, he has gone to some length to conceal his image. If you look at his Twitter account, which he doesn't use, you'd think he was the most handsome of the lot.  But it's not him. 

Whereas Lipkin was bursting at the seams with on-the-record blabbering, Rambaut likes his privacy. That's fine, but as a key ingredient of the Prox-O-5, you're famous for all time Andrew - whether you like it or not. 

You can still judge a man by the company he keeps - Oxford - specifically Nuffield Department. DPhil from Oxford in 1997 places him there at the same time as brothers-in-arms Farrar, Gao, Holmes, Worobey, Horby, et al.  The Oxford-Edinburgh axis is at the centre of the Covid Conspiracy. 

So as author of the greatest academic fraud of all time and a Feb 1 Teleconferencer, what does, let's call you the other Prince Andrew, bring to this world-deciding table? 

(E)volutionary biologist specializing in emerging human viral pathogens

Funny how the more human viral pathogenicists such as Randy Andy Rambo emerged as a fund-attracting force (largely funded by Wellcome) - the more emerging human viral pathogens emerged.

Rambaut is a genomic surveillance enthusiast - whose interests naturally include population engineering - which gets to the crux of what this is all about:

   -   a bio-state coup   -

He features as a Friendly Genius on Andersen's Scripps website (along with Garry).

First person Holmes called with the sequence - published on Rambaut's website. 

Co-author with Andersen, Holmes, and Dudas (Edinburgh PhD student supervised by Rambaut) on the controversial Ebola Evolution paper in 2016.

SAGE member (with Jeremy Farrar), futurist (as is Farrar), funded in perpetuity by Wellcome.

Next-generation molecular and evolutionary epidemiology of infectious disease: challenges and opportunities

Current Generation: Garry, Holmes, Lipkin

Generation Next: Rambaut & Andersen  

Farrar is thy shepherd

Note: Very hard to find a photo of Rambaut - with a lot of Fake Rambauts floating around.  Below is the real Rambaut from Peter Zasdak on Twitter.
