Amazing PR with an IBM Spin

March 24, 2020

Navigate to “Is This Taking a Toll on Coronavirus Pandemic? Scientists Claim This Supercomputer Found the Most Effective Vaccine Against Covid 19.”

Who made the supercomputer? Give up.

IBM did.

What software did the scientists at ORNL use?

IBM’s.

Did IBM pump out the crowning glory of a story itself?

Nope, allegedly ORNL professionals did.

This is a summit of sorts. PR for IBM and a news story to circulate among the appropriation committee at budget time.

Opportunistic? Of course not. Just keeping those competitors like LANL at bay.
