    The letter requests a briefing from Dr. Kristian Andersen about his change in perspective on the origins of COVID-19. It notes that on January 31, 2020 Dr. Andersen emailed Dr. Fauci stating the genome was inconsistent with evolutionary theory. On February 1, 2020 Dr. Andersen participated in a call with Dr. Fauci. Then on February 4, 2020 Dr. Andersen stated theories of engineering were crackpot theories. The letter requests a briefing by August 5, 2021 to understand what caused Dr. Andersen's change in hypothesis after the February 1 call with Dr. Fauci.

    Dear Dr. Andersen,

    On January 31, 2020, at 10:32 p.m., you sent an email to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director
    of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which has provided you with
    millions of dollars in taxpayer funded grants. The email stated:

    [O]ne has to look really closely at all the sequences to see that some
    of the features (potentially) look engineered . . . . Eddie [Holmes],
    Bob [Garry], Mike [Ferguson] and myself all find the genome
    inconsistent with evolutionary theory.1

    On the evening of February 1, 2020, you and several other international virologists
    participated in a conference call with Dr. Fauci.2 The American public does not know what
    happened on this call, as all emails pertaining to the content of the discussion have been
    redacted. But we do know what happened after.

    On February 4, 2020, you sent an email to Dr. Peter Daszak, the Chief Executive Officer
    of EcoHealth Alliance, Inc.—another organization that had received millions of dollars in
    taxpayer grants from Dr. Fauci—stating:

    The main crackpot theories going around at the moment relate to


    this virus being somehow engineered . . . and that is demonstrably
    not the case.3

    In three days, with no explanation as to why, you flipped your perspective entirely and
    began calling a theory you lent credence to only days earlier a “crackpot theory.” It would appear
    the primary intervening event was the February 1 conference call with Dr. Fauci. We are very
    interested in understanding what happened on that call or what science came to light that caused

    (emphasis added).

    such a dramatic change in your own hypothesis as to the engineering of COVID-19. Therefore,
    we request a staff level briefing as soon as possible but no later than August 5, 2021.
