It's difficult for me to understand why it has been so difficult for the NIH to tell us what it knows about the coronavirus research that was happening in Wuhan as part of an international collaboration.

From the few non-redacted pages in this FOIA'ed document, you can see that there are also emails describing post-pandemic Covid-19 response research mixed into this batch. We don't know if there are more EcoHealth-related content under the 292 pages of redactions.

But @theintercept tells us that "The NIH still had more than 1,400 pages of relevant documents in its possession... the agency appears to have no urgency to make this critical information public."

@theintercept For an issue of such unparalleled magnitude #OriginOfCovid shouldn't the NIH and NIAID want to immediately disclose all relevant emails and documentation without unnecessary redaction?

Their redaction-heavy approach is immolating public trust in science.

@theintercept At this point, an artist could create a statement installation simply tiling all of the redacted emails from the NIH across the wall of a modern art museum.

The name of this installation could be "Trust the Science".
