* **2021-01-19** — [Andrew Rambaut](/people/andrew-rambaut.md) (asserts): "@Kristian Andersen Daszak's involvement in the WHO investigation is like "having Donald Trump run the investigation of Russian hacking of the 2016 election."" [^slack_pm]

* **2021-05-12** — [Kristian G. Andersen](/people/kristian-g-andersen.md) (asserts): "Making naive demands for investigations and data that are clearly outside the scope, mandate, or capabilities of the WHO - instead of putting our full support behind joint missions already in progress - will make it harder to uncoverexactly how SARS-CoV-2…" [^slack_pm]
