I just blocked him. Total low-life. No, I don't we need to show the reviews as these are correspondence with the journal and my University lawyers say that is not included. But it will have us talking about the reviews a guess. Ofcourse, the irony is that the reviewers thought we gave the lab escape theory too much credence...I'm not going tomake life easy for them.

In context

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

I am guessing the reviews will come out in the FOI, Eddie?

```@k_g_andersen @arambaut @edwardcholmes #IanLipkin #RobertGarry: according to @nature, "correspondence submissions are only rarely peer-reviewed." https://go.nature.com/37w0Crb Was "The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2" peer-reviewed by experts before its publication? #originsofsarscov2```

Just been talking (off the record) to this guy from CNN who has been delving deep into the early outbreak. He's also talked to all the intelligence folk. He's says there's absolutely zero evidence for lab escape. Intelligence agrees. Nothing in the early records from China.
