 RE: Teleconference 

 Thanks, Jeremy. We really appreciate what you are doing here . Pleasure to work with you. 

 Best, Tony 

   

 What Farrar was doing here was: 

 taking the lead 

 on behalf of the planet 

 Fauci is a Scio-politics Hall-of-Famer - but he’s 80 years old.  Francis is no spring chicken either.  

 Jeremy is 60 - in his prime. Time to assume the role of top-dog. What better way to do that than step-up in a crisis by convening strategy with the Prox Origin authors/Lancet Statement signers - and getting Tedros onboard - for the critical and sensitive issue of covering up the origin of Covid.

 Tedros and Bernhard (Schwartländer) have apparently gone into conclave .... they need to decide today in my view. If they do prevaricate , I would appreciate a call with you later tonight or tomorrow to think how we might take forward . 

 Decide what? Take what forward? All redacted. It’s there - but redacted. 

 So we have to speculate - whether we like it or not. Was Tedros hesitant to join the Prox O cover-story?  

 Luckily Tedros & Bernhard didn’t prevaricate too much - not sure why there was concern - Tedros was already praising the CCP to high-heaven on Jan 29. Knowing Tedros, he's a slippery guy - may have been nervous about getting locked-in to the pangolin/wet market origin story so early in the piece.  

 Why would you do that?

 Jeremy, 

 I'm available any time today except 3:15 - 5:45 pm EST (on a plane) for a call to Tedros . Let me know if I can help get through his thicket of protectors . 

 Francis 

 Yeah - got any tips, Francis, on how to get through your thicket of protectors - comprising mass-media/cyber industry/ the science community/99% of politicians?
