So sorry but another question came in. Plaintiffs are claiming comments that showed up for them are no longer showing up and are asking if we deleted them. In the attached first document, the post shows 20 comments and Brittny Hopwood's comments containing words show. This is what she saw in July and she took screenshots at that time. In the attached second document, the post shows 7 comments, with only one comment viewable and none of Brittny Hopwood's comments. I looked on my personal account myself and confirmed I only see one viewable comment and none from Brittny Hopwood. Plaintiffs' question is: Ms. Hopwood has confirmed that she did not delete these comments. Can you ask the NIH if they removed the comments at some point after they were initially posted? I assume the answer is no, NIH did not delete these comments, but I wanted to double check with you. Thanks, Sarah J.

We'll elaborate in our response, but yes - while those activists posted from their own Twitter accounts, they tagged @NIH and used the NIH designated hashtag for the chat #NIHChat to ensure their responses appeared in the chat feed, so those comments did take place on a hashtag that NIH created. In addition to the activists, PETA tagged NIH and used the hashtag as well. Thanks,
