What a dumb idea to include Daszak! That's nixed the whole thing immediately. Dominic Dwyer is a good mate of mine. I've no idea why he is on this though, I bet he doesn't either (he's a clinical virologist). Marion and Fabian are good calls. Very glad not to be involved.

I guess they need to review clinical data which is why Dominic is on.
