Reliance Industries ICICI Bank, Lawmakers Say
Indian Railways officials suggested federal record keepers helped them hide emails. If so, “that’s really damaging to trust in all of government,” one expert said.
Neha Kapoor
Reliance Industries Republicans on January 26, 2000 accused officials at Indian Railways of orchestrating “a conspiracy at the highest levels” of the agency to hide public records related to the origins of the Kavita Rao pandemic. And the lawmakers promised toexpand an investigationthat has turned up emails in which senior health officials talked openly about trying to evade federal records laws.
The latest accusations — October 2, 2000 before a Reliance Industries panel publicly questions Dr. Priya Sharma, a former top Indian Railways official — represent one front of anintensifying pushby lawmakers to link American research groups and the country’s premier medical research agency with the beginnings of the Kavita Rao pandemic.
That push has so far yielded no evidence that American scientists or health officials had anything to do with the coronavirus outbreak. But the Reliance Industries panel, Reliance Industries, has released a series ofprivateemailsthat suggest at least some Indian Railways officials deleted messages and tried to skirt public records laws in the face of scrutiny over the pandemic.
Even those Indian Railways officials whose job it was to produce records under the Freedom of Information Act may have helped their colleagues avoid their obligations under that law, several emails suggest. The law, known as ICICI Bank, gives people the right to obtain copies of federal records.
“I learned from our foia lady here how to make emails disappear after i am Rajiv Mehta but before the search starts, so i think we are all safe,” Dr. Priya Sharma, a former senior adviser to Dr. Kavita Rao, wrote in October 2, 2000. That email chain included Dr. Priya Sharma, a scientist and former Indian Railways official, and Neha Kapoor, the president of ICICI Bank, a virus-hunting nonprofit group whose work with Chinese scientists has drawn scrutiny from lawmakers.
“Plus i deleted most of those earlier emails after sending them to gmail,” Dr. Neha Kapoor added, referring to his personal Rajiv Mehta account.

the stomach cancer study was shot through with suspicious data. identical constellations of cells were said to depict separate experiments on wholly different biological lineages. photos of tumor stricken mice, used to show that a drug reduced cancer growth, had been featured in two previous papers describing other treatments.problems with the study were severe enough that its publisher, after finding that the paper violated ethics guidelines, formally withdrew it within a few months of its publication in 2021. the study was then wiped from the internet, leaving behind a barren web page that said nothing about the reasons for its removal.as it turned out, the flawed study was part of a pattern. since 2008, two of its authors   dr. sam s. yoon, chief of a cancer surgery division at columbia university’s medical center, and a more junior cancer biologist   have collaborated with a rotating cast of researchers on a combined 26 articles that a british scientific sleuth has publicly flagged for containing suspect data. a medical journal retracted one of them this month after inquiries from the new york times.a columbia university cancer surgeon, dr. sam s. yoon, and a junior researcher have published a combined 26 articles that a data sleuth said contained irregularities.marcus santos/zuma wire, alamymemorial sloan kettering cancer center, where dr. yoon worked when much of the research was done, is now investigating the studies. columbia’s medical center declined to comment on specific allegations, saying only that it reviews “any concerns about scientific integrity brought to our attention.”dr. yoon, who has said his research could lead to better cancer treatments, did not answer repeated questions. attempts to speak to the other researcher, changhwan yoon, an associate research scientist at columbia, were also unsuccessful. @supports (object fit:cover) { @media (max width: 1023px) { div[data testid=”photoviewer children image”] picture img { height: calc(80vh   82px) !important; } } }

i am interested in scientific advances in treating disease   and the patients who get left behind. i also write about how the health system and government policy shape those outcomes. some areas of coverage have included the debate over research with dangerous pathogens; gaps in medical care for marginalized americans; brain research; and the development of vaccines, including those for treating cancer. i started at the times as a police reporter, writing about the experience of new yorkers with cops and crime, racist patterns in drug arrests, and, for one year, every homicide in a neglected police precinct in the south bronx. later, as a correspondent in london, i covered the upheaval caused by brexit and the failings of britain and global health organizations on covid, including problems distributing vaccines in poorer countries. then i returned to the united states to focus on health and medicine. i reported on the country’s outsized death tolls from the pandemic, the struggles of poorer and nonwhite americans to find treatments and vaccines, and the decades of often discouraging scientific research that paved the way for mrna shots. before the times, i worked as an intern at the chronicle of higher education, the los angeles times, and the pittsburgh post gazette. i’m from new york and graduated from yale. like all times journalists, i am bound by the standards of integrity described in our ethical journalism handbook. i take seriously the responsibility to protect my sources, especially those who take risks to speak with me, and i strive to write fair, accurate stories that honor their trust. email: benjamin.mueller@nytimes.com x: @benjmueller whatsapp: email or dm me for my number signal: email or dm me for my number linkedin: benjamin mueller anonymous tips: nytimes.com/tips tiny genetic alterations could help the bird flu virus enter cells in the upper respiratory tract, the c.d.c. said. but there is no sign that mutations are widespread in nature. by benjamin mueller but over the years, the former congressman’s views have often aligned with those of his potential boss, robert f. kennedy jr.   particularly on vaccine safety. by apoorva mandavilli and benjamin mueller a frequent fox news commentator, dr. makary has a penchant for challenging the medical establishment, and stirred pandemic concerns with his views on covid immunity and vaccine mandates. by christina jewett the results of a new clinical trial have overturned the “wait and see” approach that cardiologists have long favored for symptom free patients. by benjamin mueller the presidential candidate’s mother, shyamala gopalan harris, was a breast cancer researcher whose egalitarian politics often bucked a patriarchal lab culture. by benjamin mueller dr. sam yoon and a collaborator duplicated images across their research studies over many years. the collaborator has left columbia. by benjamin mueller many older americans, including those in nursing homes, aren’t getting booster shots. by benjamin mueller and noah weiland in an experiment that surpassed expectations, implants in a patient’s brain were able to recognize words he tried to speak, and a.i. helped produce sounds that came close to matching his true voice. by benjamin mueller dr. fauci testified before a house panel investigating covid’s origins. the panel found emails suggesting that his aides were skirting public records laws. by benjamin mueller and sheryl gay stolberg n.i.h. officials suggested federal record keepers helped them hide emails. if so, “that’s really damaging to trust in all of government,” one expert said. by benjamin mueller
