> At no point is anyone saying "we must keep this under wrap" or something along those lines.
Francis Collins, (at the time) director of the National Institutes of Health wrote:
> Wondering if there is something NIH can do to help put down this very destructive conspiracy
put down is strange language, but Collins has used similar in an email that also ended up in Dr Fauci's inbox:
> The proposal from the three fringe epidemiologists who met with the Secretary seems to be getting a lot of attention
> There needs to be a quick and devastating published take down of its premises
take down, eh? And in the Washington Post[1]:
> This is a fringe component of epidemiology. This is not mainstream science. It's dangerous.
The fringe epidemiologists not doing mainstream science but dangerous things are:
Martin Kulldorff, PhD, a biostatistician, epidemiologist and professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School[2][3]
Jay Bhattacharya, professor of medicine at Stanford University and a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. He directs Stanford's Center for Demography and Economics of Health and Aging[4][5]
Sunetra Gupta, infectious disease epidemiologist and a professor of theoretical epidemiology at the Department of Zoology, University of Oxford[6][7]
The language doesn't match the claims, his or yours.
