Yeah, why not - no harm in that (I actually think I might have shared it with Stephen a while bacl)

In context

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

    I wonder if Jon will ever leak the Deep Throat email. Point 8 in our response is somewhat topical. [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-06-07 at 8.25.33 am.png]

    Also, I find that my reply to Relman had a few salient points... Not at least "Importantly, no evidence has been presented to support any connection to the lab - which remains a speculative theory that would necessarily involve a major cover up and complex web of lies perpetrated by the very scientists and public health authorities that you thank in the end of your letter. Unless there's direct evidence to support such aconspiracy, I think we have to be very careful that we don't unnecessarily add to ongoing anti-Asian racism and hate crimes. I am of course well aware that that is not the intent of your letter, however, it should be clear that it will fan the flames of xenophobia and conspiracy theories - with allegations of a lab leak having no scientific grounding inavailable evidence or data.I hope they're happy.
