DR. MAJIDI: The total body — the total universe of people at some point were associated with RMR-029 — I’ll qualify that. Roughly, about 100-plus.
QUESTION: Hundred-plus. Were those all at Detrick, or other labs —
DR. MAJIDI: No, they were at Detrick and other labs.
Comment:
OTHER LABS. Plural. Not one other lab as some press reports mistakenly reported. Labs. Not 100. About 100-plus. Plus means “more than 100.”
DR. MAJIDI: So a hundred people are within the universe of this RMR-1029 sample, and everyone was investigated. We looked a number of different factors that go into the investigation, and we were able to include and exclude specific individuals in that list.
QUESTION: So the forensic evidence narrowed you down to about a hundred people and then other types of evidence —
DR. MAJIDI: Forensic data — to RMR-1029, looking at people who have had access to RMR-1029 reduced that universe to a hundred-plus people, and then as we investigated every individual, we narrowed down our focus.
Comment: Their chief investigative means appears to have been this question: Have you or have you ever not participated in a panty raid. If so, do you have any trophy that we might submit to forensic analysis. My friend, Ed, will assist.
