Daszak made strenuous efforts to hide:

• that he was the organizer and writer of the letter

• that he had direct and invidious connections to the Wuhan Institute

• that the signatories to the letter had any connection to EcoHealth Alliance or the Wuhan Institute

All of the above were later confirmed by emails obtained via public record requests under the Freedom of Information Act.

> Daszak made strenuous efforts to hide [...] that the signatories to the letter had any connection to EcoHealth Alliance or the Wuhan Institute

That's a strange thing to argue given that Peter Daszak's position within EcoHealth Alliance is public and well-known, and he signed the letter publicly.

His extended conflict statement isn't exactly a smoking gun either:
