Geert Vanden Bossche wrote that he had decided to withdraw from public life. He considered his task largely fulfilled and felt called to give his life a new turn. In a contribution he described as a kind of farewell letter, he further explained his decision. He summarized it with the words: "The virus remains. The virologist departs." https://t.co/dKzr0yelxk #Afscheid #NieuweWending #Viroloog (translated)
