After a long #FOIA fight, I just received a bunch of new unredacted emails detailing the Feb 1 2020 teleconference between Dr. Fauci and virologists discussing SARS-Cov-2: documentcloud.org/documents/2331…

I am reviewing the documents now, but some of this material was previously redacted and help sheds light on early NIH discussions re: origins of COVID-19:

More unredacted records from my #FOIA lawsuit:

Finally, a second set of documents, mostly emails between Dr. Fauci and Kristian Andersen, which have finally been unredacted in full after months of #FOIA litigation: documentcloud.org/documents/2331…

Thanks to @MuckRock and @LoevyAndLoevy for their crucial help getting these documents

The articles about these documents are starting to be published. It will be interesting and informative to see which outlets pick them up: telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/11/2…

I'm scheduled to speak with Senate staffers next week to discuss these records, and more specifically to discuss how to reform #FOIA at NIH and other fed agencies. It shouldn't require a year-long lawsuit to get documents like these. If you have FOIA reform ideas, I'm all ears.
