I would be surprised if Marion was behind this, but I can't rule it out. I'm almost certain it's not Christian. I'm wondering if somebody could have mentioned this to e.g., Baric and then this is actually Baric - he always seemed pissed about the whole situation.

In context

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

It's Ron or Marion I assume

No. I talked to Christian at the WHO meeting and we had an interesting chat - he thought it had been circulating inhumans for a while before the furin site appeared.

Seems like it must be Ron.

I can't see it being Marion either.

But we sent them all a draft, inc. Ron. Email of Feb 10.

The subject of the email is interesting - "The authors who wrote the paper saying that SARS-CoV-2 is not human engineered first tried convincing Anthony Fauci of the opposite". Probably somebody in America?

This part has me stumped "after quietly raising the alarm (*or "spreading the rumor", as Jeremy Farrar apparently put it*) "
