Feb. 4, 2015 - Max Cooper gave WALS Lecture at NIH. Went to dinner with him and Chris last night at Cesco Osteria on Woodmont Avenue in Bethesda. Still great press interest in the Measles situation now that Presidential hopefuls Chris Christie, Rand Paul and others have commented on it. Rand Paul put his foot in his mouth by saying that there are reports of children who walk and talk normally before MMR and then immediately after, they can no longer walk, talk, and are autistic. Good experience on Rachel Maddow Show last night. We stuck to the science and did not get involved with the politics, although she dumped all over Christie and Paul. Ran into Gov. Howard Dean in the NBC Green Room and he was very critical of Paul. Did Geraldo Rivera Radio Show today and Jose Diaz Belart on MSNBC. The Sunday Shows want me on several times. Let us see if HHS allows it vis-a-via prior discussions. ISIS burns alive and shows the video on the internet a Jordanian jet fighter pilot shot down over Syria. The Jordanians are outraged and execute Al-Qaeda prisoners in retaliation. Big news

Feb. 6, 2015 - HHS approving all my media now. Today did CNN New Day; The Hill. Also did radio interview with John Castamidas for his NYC Sunday Show. Was supposed to do MSNBC with Andrea Mitchell and another ABC Show but was cancelled because Jordanian aircraft bombed ISIS in Syria and the ISIS claims that the bombs killed and American woman whom ISIS had kidnapped and was holding hostage. Now all news stations are covering this.

Feb. 9, 2015 - Give Inaugural John Ring La Montagne Lecture at University of Texas. John did undergraduate and Masters at U of T. His widow Elaine was present and his brother Greg. Freezing weather in DC and major historic snow storms in New England (Jenny getting it in Boston); however, absolutely beautiful in Austin at 74 and bright sun. These trips are starting to wear me down. No fun anymore. I hate airports and my back is bothering me. Made worse by flying.

Feb. 11, 2015 -- Visited White House today at 1:20 PM. The South Court Auditorium. Bright sunny and cold day in DC. The POTUS thanked all of the EROLA HCWs, USG officials, and others for our work on Ebola. He called out several people -- Tom Frieden, Raj Shah for Ebola response, me and Nancy Sullivan for vaccine development among others in the room. Nancy was up on the stage with the POTUS together with others from USPHS, DoD, State, etc. He gave a good speech. Met all the team there with Leslie Dach, Sylvia Burwell. Leslie remarked how many people I have trained -- Cliff Ron Klain's last day as the Ebola response Coordinator. I will miss him.

Feb. 14, 2015 -- Was supposedto go to San Jose today for the AAAS Annual meeting to speak on Ebola. I backed out due to too much travel. However, they wanted me to and I did participate by video-link in the Press Conference after the session. The situation with Ebola continues to decrease with very few cases in Liberia. Sierra Leone and Guinea still smoldering. Was planning on going to Liberia with Cliffi on feb. 22-26. However, decided to cancel since my back is very painful and the trip would be horrible with the latovers and connection. Measles sill an issue, but as expected much less press interest.
