Thank you. I appreciate that.
Specifically regarding the RFP, certainly what was troubling to me and many of my constituents as they reached out, as the media became aware and publicized the information around the issue we're discussing here, was the fact that this was not simply limited to COVID. The RFP talked about both COVID policy and the ongoing need for this data to be used by the government.
Do you think it's an appropriate path forward for the government to not only use data that was...? The government has defended the need for it during a public health emergency, but do you think it was appropriate for them to basically say that they need this data for the next five years for public policy without providing clear direction as to what that would be used for?
Dr. Geist, go ahead.
