# Statement timeline

What this person is recorded saying, in date order, quoted verbatim with page citations.

* **2023-07-20** ([congressional_oversight](/topics/congressional-oversight.md), asserts): "The House report is a skewed and doesn't take into account some of the details revealed in the hearing." [^reading_room]
* **2023-07-20** ([congressional_oversight](/topics/congressional-oversight.md), asserts): "After watching the hearing, I think Fauci and Collins were involved, I am not convinced that this was orchestrated by Fauci." [^reading_room]
* **2023-07-20** ([awards_honoraria](/topics/awards-honoraria.md), questions): "What confuses me is why Fauci publicly pretended that he didn't know the investigators and I wonder if this is because he placed his thumb on the post-peer review process leading to an award of CREID centers for Garry and Andersen." [^reading_room]
* **2023-07-20** ([awards_honoraria](/topics/awards-honoraria.md), asserts): "The peer review took place in November, but the grants weren't awarded until April I believe." [^reading_room]
* **2023-07-20** ([awards_honoraria](/topics/awards-honoraria.md), asserts): "Andersen said that the peer review couldn't possibly have been tampered with, but you and I both know that awarding large cooperative agreements goes beyond peer review and the NIAID OD could have weighed in." [^reading_room]
* **2023-07-20** ([awards_honoraria](/topics/awards-honoraria.md), asserts): "The other strange thing was awarding a CREID center to Dascak after Trump specifically blocked an earlier grant to EcoHealth alliance." [^reading_room]
* **2023-07-20** ([congressional_oversight](/topics/congressional-oversight.md), asserts): "The House report is a skewed and doesn't take into account some of the details revealed in the hearing." [^reading_room]
