Recipients on this medium are inferred from channel membership, not per-message addressing.

No. The FOI request wanted emails related to the papers. As this is before the paper I didn't include it. But we couldof course release it ourselves if necessary.

In context

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

    When Embarek says to "even discuss it or even put it on the table or on the agenda of any meeting or discussion" was a *Mission Impossible,* I strongly suspect that it was not just the Chinese that were pushing back, but membersof his own team. We correctly determined to include it in PO1 against the advice of at least one reviewer. Extremely unlikely sums it up *bordering* on impossible. As @Andrew Rambaut said above the only possibilty is that WIV et al.had SC2 itself or the immediate progenitor. To say this is to say they are pulling off the greatest conspiracy/cover-upin history.

    @Eddie Holmes - do you know if this particular email will be made public as part of your FOIA? It reflects well wherewe stood early in our research. [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-02-14 at 11.12.37 AM.png]

    @Kristian Andersen Ah, okay. I'll leave this under wraps for now - but once we have the list of emails to be released,we might want to put out a few of them with some context. They'll be noticed, no doubt.

    Agreed. There's a few that I can also release.

    What's wild - two doses of Pfizer leads to greater neutralization against SARS-CoV than B.1.351 according to this figure. That's wild.\
