Subject: Re: Teleconference

Kristen and Eddie have shared this and will talk through it on the call. Thank you.

Hope it will help frame the discussions.

(There was a lot of sharing/cheering of this Jan 31 Jon Cohen Science article which features Dasak, sets template for the conspiracy theorist vilification campaign - or was it the Prox O draft itself?)

 

From :Jeremy Farrar, 1 Feb 2020 at 15:34

Information and discussion is shared in total confidence and not to be

shared until agreement on next steps.

(Actually not to be shared - ever - discussion details have been redacted. Why?)

Dial in details attached.

Please mute phones.

I will be on email throughout - email Paul or I Paul (Schreier) if any problems

If you cannot make it, I will phone you afterwards to update.

(Wow! Sir Jeremy, you're all over it - in our moment of need...)

Agenda

  •  Introduction, focus and desired outcomes - JF (Farrar)
  •  Summary - KA (Andersen - Prox O lead-author)
  •  Comments - EH (Holmes, Prox O)
  •  Q&A-AII
  • Summary and next steps - JF (Farrar)

(Prox O draft was completed that day - two of its authors are presenting. We can assume they presented their draft. Yesterday, literally,  the authors confirmed it  looks engineered. But we can’t have that - so - here’s the pangolin water-muddier plan? 

The next steps and desired outcomes were redacted. Reminds you that although we see this as an exciting mystery investigation - it's not a mystery for some people - it's a lived-experience. Luckily, Farrar provides a list of those real-life livers:)
