Ralph S. Baric
Yes. On the 13th of February, I believe, 13th or 14th -- again, exact day is going to be difficult for me to recollect without notes in front of me -- but on the 13th or 14th I was up in D.C. for a progress report meeting on a grant and also giving a talk at some meeting. So we scheduled a meeting for about an hour with his leadership team, and I met him either at his office or at one of the NIH buildings for the extramural program.

    That's the 2015 paper, yeah. Did you all read that? I'm just wondering, if you read my grants you must be almost numb.

    I'm not a scientist. But I am familiar with it. So let's turn to that paper. So that was a topic of, and I'm sure you've read the FOIAs about you since, a topic of great discussion. Early in 2020, February 2020, it seemed like all of a sudden that paper was sent around among several people. I think Fauci sent it out on February 1st to a number of people within the NIH.
