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 Science article which features Dasak, sets template for the conspiracy theorist vilification campaign.)

Re: Teleconference (with Tedros - ducks-in-a-row exercise)

Hi Jeremy,
I can make myself available at any time 24/7 for the call with Tedros. Just let me know. Thanks for your leadership on this critical and sensitive issue.

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, to convene strategy with the Prox Origin authors/Lancet Statement signers and WHO reps. 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? Whether to join the Prox Origin cover-story? Luckily they 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.
