Okay. And that you were willing to share what you knew with leadership at NIH, but that you couldn't share it. You had to have some kind of assurance that it wouldn't be shared more broadly.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

  1. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    Not with the Chinese. With Eric Stemmy.
  2. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    Oh, he may have been. Yes, he may have DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com been.
  3. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    And it sounds like, the notes that I have -- and again, if you don't recall this, just let me know -- it appears that you may have mentioned that you had some confidentiality issue with remdesivir, within Nature Communications.
  4. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open

    I don't recall this, but he may have been wanting a copy of the paper that I just mentioned. I may have sent it to them. I don't see why I wouldn't. The big question would be whether Gilead would have a problem, not that I would have a problem with it.
  7. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    So what's the confidentiality agreement when you're --
  8. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    So when the journal tells you the paper is in press, they say you're not allowed to report it until it's published. So to send the paper around to other individuals in the final form could be breaking that confidentiality agreement.
  9. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    And so what information did you have from the paper? DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com
