   Do you know anyone who was?

   No.
5. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar
   Would you tell me if you did? Was Ron Fouchier a reviewer, to your knowledge?
6. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
   The reason I'm hesitating is not because I know anyone who reviewed it. The reason I'm hesitating is I was thinking about the confidentiality agreements that journals ask to reviewers about not making their -- you know, they're anonymous reviewers, and they're supposed to remain anonymous. And I was thinking about, well, if I did know them, would it be under the confidentiality agreement that the journal had done.

   And you are not aware of Ron Fouchier being a reviewer.
