In context

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

    Yeah. I'm sure that it came up in terms of it being rejected, but, you know, it happens on grants.

    So the DARPA DEFUSE proposal has obviously been the subject of a lot of discussion. I know that for a lot of people it is hard to understand how it did not come up earlier in the conversations. So I'm going to ask, when did you raise, for the first time, with the United States government officials that you were interacting with -- I mean, you interacted with Erik Stemmy on the 7th, Fauci on February 11, 2020. Did DARPA DEFUSE come up in that meeting?

    No.
  4. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open

  6. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    It does shock me.
  7. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    Do you know how many grants I write?
  8. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    I don't.
  9. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    A lot.
