The info in the message is obviously greatly encouraging news, but we wouldn't want Dr. Nicolas to suffer any negative repercussions as a result of his message being made public. Maybe that info was sensitive or confidential.

Bottom line is that neither Dr. Nicolas nor the recipient of the message have given permission for that private message to be shared widely over social media. The cat's out of the bag now, but out of respect for Dr. Nicolas, I hope we move on from this quickly.
