I wouldn't have paid attention to that.

In context

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

    No. You're confusing induction into the National Academy of Sciences with sponsored research that the National Academy does for Federal institutions. So the NIH wanted the National Academy to form a group that would review the COVID outbreak. That group will include National Academy members as well as individuals who are not National Academy member but knowledgeable experts in the field.

    I guess my question is, why was NIH convening this group? Because the same members, right, Dr. Fauci, Francis Collins were in other groups.

    I think, again, you need to talk to the DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com National Institute of Health, because they're the ones who arranged for this group to be formed through the National Academy and the process involved. Typically, the group that is asking the National Academy to respond to a request from an outside group, people from that outside group will explain on the first day of the meeting what the topic is and why they're interested in it, and that sort of thing.

    Was it just NIH, or were there other agencies that were involved in calling this meeting?
  5. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric
    I wouldn't have paid attention to that.
  6. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    Were you familiar with the other people that were attending the meeting?
  7. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    Some of the people, for sure.
  8. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    Let's see. Diane Griffith?
