I have a WaPo reporter (Dan Diamond) asking me a few questions about a conversation he recently had with Fauci. Here's what Tony said about the call - which, of course, is correct. As I mentioned previously, I honestly don't remember what Tony said on the call or if he had any specific questions - do any of you? [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2022-02-23 at 12.11.54 PM.png]

I seem to remember him asking something like 'give me the probability it came out of a lab?'. I think he wanted anumber, although perhaps I'm deluding myself.
-
Yeah - some folks on the call asked for odds, but I can't remember whether it might actually have been Jeremy. I'll just say "I don't remember what Tony said"
-
He didn't ask many questions because he spent all his time telling us what to think

Haha, that's right. I guess maybe this is my chance to cash in if I flip.... Hmmm - sorry guys, I'll have to throw you under the bus too. :man-shrugging::moneybag:

No worries. I'm just surprised we've not yet been blamed for the invasion of Ukraine
-
Oh, I'm sure we'll hear about that shortly. I'll ping my DRASTIC friends.

Tony's quote is great. He really didn't say much at all and I don't remember any specific questions from him. Francis said even less (Francis was at some sort of party). Jeremy said a few things, but mostly just by way of organization.It was mostly a round robin of the other scientists - starting with Kristian. I talked about the FCS [noting FCSs had been inserted before] and the O-linked glycans, which even at that early date didn't seem engineered. Decidedly amixed set of facts that could swing in a number of different directions with more data. Ron and Marion in particular were pretty outspoken that it had to be natural.

That's my best recollection. Tony said VERY little - Francis even less, if anything. They truly were there to listen.
