   Attached please find a formal request for retraction of the Nature Medicine article, "The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2." Representatives of Nature Medicine, the Springer Group, the authors and their associated institutions, and relevant medical journal affiliates have been copied in this request. To avoid a cascade of confusing replies, BCC has beenutilized. Replies to me are welcome, but not required. The retraction request should speak for itself. Because the article may be tied to USG grants (NIH grant U19AI135995, U19AI135995, U54 HG007480 andU19AI142790), HHS and NIH have been copied to assist with final integrity. Where no clear ethics boards or oversight boards were available, the leadership teams of respective institutions were selected. A complete list of recipients may be made available upon request. SLACK_000371It is my hope that each of your institutions will see the dilemma and correct the record accordingly.Most respectfully submitted, *Xander D. Arena, CNMT(RS)*
