At one point she mentioned something about "could this be the effects
of some worm". She basically completely ignored my links to TEM
images, I'm guessing the technical level of detail is just too above
many folks. Presumably the technical level of detail involved in an
AM/FM radio, cellphone, computer, car... all would also be "too much",
yet these sort of people use such devices regularly (and even to reply
to that exact facebook post!). There was one comment about the pics
being so blurry, and all the images of sars cov2 being CGI... so
obviously I replied with info on cryo-TEM tomography.. but whiz, right
past them.
