Two names are missing under this Lancet letter, while one would expect them, Marion Koopmans and Ron Fouchier...

11. Why did Koopmans not sign the Lancet Letter?
On Feb 7, 2020, Daszak sent an email to Colwell with a list of people they want to approach to sign the statement, including Osterhaus, Koopmans and Haagmans. Haagmans signed it. Koopmans will not.
The question remains; why not?

"Koopmans liked it all. Whether it was China’s repeated delay of the mission, the lack of raw data, China’s veto over the composition of the team Marion Koopmans did not speak a single word of criticism"

12. Gain of Function
"I strongly suspect that this successful Gain-of-function investigation by Ron Fouchier is the reason why Marion Koopmans and he did not sign the letter to The Lancet"
13. Funding
" For Koopmans and Fouchier too, if it were proven that the SARS-CoV-2 virus had escaped from the WIV, it would have disastrous consequences getting funds for Gain-of-function experiments with influenza viruses, just as it would have for Ralph Baric"
