Baric Transcribed Interview (Redacted) — page 66

DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com wrong on exactly how he framed it. He framed it as, let's just say, a negative interaction. And again, this is him recalling it after the fact. He did not know you were on the call. DR. BARIC: Which call are you talking about? MS. SALAZAR: The February 1st call. DR. BARIC: He may not have, yeah. MS. SALAZAR: And he, I think the way he phrased it is he felt like you were using all of the information to then attack him on the February 3rd call. DR. BARIC: See, I don't ever recall attacking him on the February 3rd call. MS. SALAZAR: Okay. What was your -- DR. BARIC: I may have pointed something out that he wasn't aware of in coronaviruses, but that's not attacking somebody. That's just providing scientific information. MS. SALAZAR: What was it? DR. BARIC: I don't recall 100 percent. You know, again, did he mention? It would be helpful to me if you'd say what it was. MS. SALAZAR: Yeah. "I should mention that Ralph Baric pretty much attacked me on the call with NASM, essentially calling anything related to potential lab escape ludicrous, crackpot theories. I wonder if he, himself, is worried about this too."
