Ralph S. Baric
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.

    But that wouldn't apply --
  7. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    That actually doesn't apply here, no. So that's what I was thinking about. Sorry. You sent me down a rabbit hole. But no, I do not know any reviewer for Proximal Origins.
  8. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    And you are not aware of Ron Fouchier being a reviewer.
  9. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
