Jan. 20, 2015 - Visit to NIH of Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK) of the Appriopriations Subcommittee. Accompanied by Rosa DeLauro, Nita Lowy, Andy Harris , Dent, Womack. I presented work on universal flu vaccine, Ebola, Antimicrobila resistance. Then took them to VRC to show them around to Nancy Sullivan and Julie Ledgerwood. Rosa and Nita kept hugging and kissing me, congratulating me on my work. Big measles outbreak originating in Disneyland. Much press associated with it and cricizing the vaccine denialists. I have been on several shows (WTOP, etc.) In 2014 there have been 644 cases and 23 outbreaks.

    Jan. 6, 2015 -- Former NIAID Director and my predecessor, Dr. Richard Krause, dies at age 90. He was a scholarly man, a bit stiff in the "old school" Rockefeller University tradition, but he meant well. He was sorely criticized by the AIDS activist community for his lack of aggressive action in his not asking for new money for AIDS during the Al7 b to show in 2 es (of London) came to my early years (1981-1984) when he was Director. He was gay, but closeted. KLarry Kramer outted him and said that his closet status prevented him from asking for more AIDS money. I succeeded Richard and immediately asked for more money.

    Jan. 24, 2015 -- Things really heating up with the measles outbreak. Resentment building against parents who prevent their children from getting vaccinated and so endanger other vulnerable children such as infants (who are too young to get vaccinated - <12 months old) or immunosuppressed people.

    Jan. 25, 2015 - Appeared of PBS NewsHour (weekend edition). Got call from Sylvia Burwell who lives on Tennyson Street, N.W. She called me because she was in terrible low back pain and did not want to go to ER. I made a house call and determined by physical exam that she did not have neurologic issues (i.e. disc). Felt it was LS strain and muscle spasm. Prescribed heat and rest and get MRI tomorrow with White House physician and possible muscle relaxants. Also, I had discussed with her by phone a couple of days ago (she e-mailed me to call her) because she was feeling weak and fatigued. Saw female MD at WH and was told she had "low blood pressure, bradycardia and low Na+. Her EKG was normal and so she was not in heart block. Was told to hydrate more.
