These documents will become public at some point and I think we need to figure out a way to get them released before they do. They are _great_ so there are no concerns there, but we all know what happens if DRASTIC picks these up first

In context

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

I was quite forceful in my response. I'm not answering any more.

I an not going to give further information. But as background I can state some known truths - i.e. Fauci and Collins don't personally hand out grants

They are only interested in the narrative that Tony told us to think for political reasons. I said that was total nonsense etc.

Yup - and I'd leave it at that. Once we mention that drafts were circulated on certain dates, people would want to see those.

It's public knowledge that a draft was circulated on Feb 4, but I'm not sure about Feb 7. What needs to be very clearis that WE wrote the paper and there were NO edits from e.g., Christian and Ron (and certainly none from Tony orFrancis - I think maybe Jeremy had a few minor edits). The paper was peer reviewed and that obviously led toseveral additional changes to the final version. The original version from Virological is here: https://t.co/nOddbnq2K5
