She is also the actual first author of this paper "Antibody Profiles in Mild and Severe Cases of COVID-19"[1]

The 2nd paper was submitted by her, accepted after she had left Hongkong, so other authors removed her name from the paper, but I guess they still had a little bit of decency left, they acknowledged her (as Scarlett Yan) at the end of paper. This paper, according to a researcher who developed the cocktail covid drug at Regeneron, was very informative and helpful to covid drug and vaccine development.

I don't believe the paper implied what you said. The first reference for example, also a well-written paper, is from a Harvard researcher, who has nothing to do with the organization.

HN community are extremely liberal. When they see Steve Bannon name, they automatically reject the paper. I wouldn't trust the comments, even if they claim they are subject experts here.

This is a scientific paper written by 4 Ph.D's. It uses "rule of law society" as affiliation because this is the organization that helped the main author Dr. Yan escape from Hongkong. Dr. Yan has published in Nature, Lancet, Virology as first authors. The 3 other authors don't want to list their real affiliations because they want to remain anonymous. One of them is a professor at a US University. The other two are accomplished scientist in their own fields.

This is not conspiracy theory, this is candid scientific study and discussion of upmost importance.

Why is this buried?

I guess lots of HNers shower cold, they like hearing it having potential benefit so they can feel good about themselves. Lots of confirmation bias here. The top voted comment doesn't discuss TFA, but just how great cold showering is.

In the study, a 90-seconds subject died, most likely not because of cold shower, but you never know, without the the experiment, he/she probably would have lived. His/her family members probably blamed cold-shower for it.

Dr. David Sinclair advocates cold-showering, said it increase brown fat. But the evidence he cited[1] (Lifespan page 110), the short term cold exposure is 4 hours, the temperature is probably lot colder than cold shower, so it's doubtful a 30/90 second cold shower help growing brown fat.

I do think there's market for more colorful, longer lasting temporary tattoos. (Might be a startup idea for ya)
