Newly unclassified documents released by Senator Rand Paul reveal that on May 7, 2020, CIA Chief Operating Officer Andy Makridis led a briefing with Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former FDA commissioner and Pfizer board member.
In that briefing, Gottlieb told the CIA that national seroprevalence was "about 20-25%," while discounting the Santa Clara and Los Angeles antibody studies that were being attacked in public.
Three weeks earlier, Gottlieb had publicly estimated national exposure at around 5% and treated Santa Clara as a hotspot outlier. By the time of this private CIA briefing, he was giving the agency a number four to five times higher.
"Why the massive difference between what he was telling the CIA privately so early in the pandemic versus what he was saying publicly?"
This document was classified for more than six years until Senator Paul released it on August 29, 2026.
