He is really pissed at Trump for his reckless behavior and his disregard for infecting others. Po Christie want to be the voice opposite to Trump in saying that COVID-19 is serious and we should not brag about not dying from it, and we should not trivialize it or brag aboutndefeating it since it is still killing 210,00 people in the The virus can infect anyone. The VP debate is tomorrow. Scott Atlas crossed a line today. See e-mail below: Marc: I am sorry to bother you with this as we approach the important VP debate, but this needs attention. You had mentioned to me about trying to reconcile differences between the other doctors on the Task Force and Dr. Atlas and I told you that I certainly am amenable to doing so. Below is a note that a reporter (Ashley Collman) sent to me asking for my response to an interview that she had with Dr. Atlas that they are planning on publishing. I am not planning to respond publicly since that would be beneath my dignity. However, a line has been crossed here am I strongly suggest that Dr. Atlas be removed from the Task Force and quite frankly from the White House itself. Not withstanding his outrageous comments about me, which are factually incorrect (I never said that "everyone should wear goggles" and I never "ridiculed" Sen. Paul and I, by the way, have actually written the book on natural immunity), what he has been preaching about public health measures has put the POTUS and the White House staff at risk, resulting in the infection of our President and several White House staff and other government officials. As I mentioned, I am not going to address this publicly, but it must be addressed internally. Thank you for listening. Best regards, Tony Anthony S.

Pence did not directly answer several questions using the technique that I have seen him use of avoiding answering the questions and talking about something else in response to the question. My name was mentioned multiple times during the debate. Harris said she would take an OVID-19 vaccine if I said so, but not if Trump said so. Also, Pence mentioned my name saying that I said that Trump saved many lives by shutting down travel from China.

Issue is whether Trump (recently infected) can safely do it in person. The Commission wants to do it virtually; however, Trump says he will not debate except in person. Mark meadows has called me twice for advice about the CDC guidelines of when a person post-infection can safely go out. The guidelines say 10 days from onset of sxs and 2 PCR tests (24 hours apart) that are negative. His last PCR had a CT of 28.9. It needs to be 35 or greater to be considered negative. More to come.

October 9, 2020 - Global USA We are clearly seeing resurgences in various parts of USA , esp. the upper midwest and the Northwest (see below). This is exactly what we (Deb and I) predicted would happen if young people did not abide by public health recommendations (masks, crowds, etc). It also validates my insisting to the VP that although I did not like being the "skunk at the picnic", the upticks in case positivity clearly predicted the increase incases → hospitalizations → deaths. Also, shows that Atlas and his 3 stooges are completely incorrect. Gov. Cuomo called me up. Deb wanted me to speak with him about the surge in NYC since she knows that we are friends. I asked his brother Chris to have him call me. Andrew feels that the NYC surge is driven almost exclusively by the Hasidic Jews who feel that they have "herd immunity". Obviously they do not (see Atlas). In the middle of the conversation, the POTUS calls me (see below) POTUS called me this AM at 9:10 AM. He is still very hyper and is saying that the Regeneron product "cured" him. He had with him on speaker phone Sean Conley and the entire Walter Reed team. He had them say that the drop in viral titer from 10 to the 8 to 10 to the 3 was the fastest they have ever seen. They obviously do not have that much experience. When I asked what the CT was, they said it was 33, which means he still has replication virus in his nasopharynx. Could be that Dex is slowing the clearance of virus. He wants me to help get REG mAB an EUA to save hundreds of thousands of lives. He is clearly hyper. He 9 October 2020 .

Anthony S. Fauci
October 10, 2020 - Multiple calls with Katie Miller, Stephen Mill and Mark Meadows. Big issues is when to get the POTUs back into the public (campaign rallies). Mark Meadows called me about this X2 today. The POTUS has been 10 day since onset of sxs, which is the CDC guideline for being able to return to public. However, his CT was less than 35. Today it is 34.6, but other viral parameters for replication are showing no replication. I convinced Mark to not allow the POTUS to go to Florida today (Saturday) but to wait until Monday and do a Ehite House balcony show today. Also, Stephen Miller is chomping at the bit to get out in public since the campaign is short-handed with so many people infected. Stephen has crazy numbers. CT was 27.8 yesterday and 16 today!. Looks like a lab error. Will check again tomorrow GOP campaign put out an ad misleading) having me say that the POTUS did everything possible. The press are calling out the GOP since they know that this is totally out of context. I called Stephen Miller and asked him to look into this. PRESS: Continue to do taping for the NAT/GEO documentary as well as the 60 Minutes Special that will come up next week. Crazy situation with Alyssa Farah and Jon Karl who rally wants me on "This Week" tomorrow (Sunday). First she promised him that there wa a 99.5% chance that he could have me. She said this on Wednesday. Jon texted her every day for confirmation and she just ignored his texts until it was too late (Saturday afternoon). Totally incompetent and disrespectful to Jon and ABC, but not atypical for them (WH Comms)

They are completely blocking me for Sunday shows. Also, big stink about the POTUS hiding data regarding how infective he might be (see above) Multiple conversation with Sean Conley, docs at Walter Reed and me. Also, Savannah Guthrie representing NBC wants assurances that it is safe for the audience that the POTUS does a Town Hall on Thursday (Oct.14). Mark wants us at NIH to repeat the PCR and CT values to get an independent voice here since the press does not trust Sean Conley or the Walter Reed people since they believe that these folks are afraid of the Commander-in-Chief. However, Mark does not want to admit that we need to go to NIH and so he wants NIH to do the PCR but have me not say that it was done at NIH, but only say that I will vouch for the results. Really ridiculous. Cliff will do the swab on Thursday and run it at NIH. I needed to respond to the misrepresentation of my support forTrump by the GOP campaign and so when Kaitlan Collins contacted me about it, I issued a statement that she tweeted: "In my nearly five decades of public service, I have never publicly endorsed any political candidate. The comments attributed to me without my permission in the GOP campaign ad were taken out of context from a broad statement I made months ago about the efforts of federal public health officials." It went totally viral on twitter and several networks and cable reported it. The GOP campaign hit back by giving other quotes from me saying that I did indeed support what the POTUS was doing. However, they left out all f my criticisms, and besides in none of those quotes did I endorse the POTUS. Now the GOP campaign is tweeting everything that I ever said positive about our effort trying to call me a liar about denying that I am favoring Trump. This is turning into an ongoing war between me and the GOP campaign. Nate Silver tweeted that the GOP campaign is really stupid to pick a fight with Tony Fauci just a couple of weeks before the election. Jon Karl called out Alyssa Farah on "This Week" saying that she would not let me on the show. He then asked for any medical or TF person including Redfield, 11 October 2020 The overall picture continues to deteriorate raising concerns across the United States there are deeply concerning trendlines across the upper North West Upper Mid West and now the NorthEast, Rising test positivityand cases and now resulting in rising hospitalizations, NO, MT, WY all have populations size similar to VT, MH, and Maine and had test pasitivity rates equal ta the these Morth East States 2 manths ago and are now in fulllog spread, Low populationdensities and small metros are nat protectian trom viral spread inthe community and leads to increased hospitalizations and deaths Currently the Heartland 6 states with less than 19M total population had #5 deaths yesterday (ona low day of reporting) and is growing daily Small clusters can rapidly and silenth spread to large outbreaks -- this spreadis preventable with aggressive mitigation: this is mot about shutting down but using the clear evidence based mitigation that has worked -- which requires behavioral changes both in public and private.

She ignored that and tweeted that Karl did not ask for anyone else but me. Karl got furious and tweeted his tweet to her showing her up to be a liar. She responded and said she must have "missed the text". PRESS: Opinions Distinguished person of the week: Fauci calls out Trump's recklessness Opinion by Jennifer Rubin Columnist

October 12, 2020 Global - 37,400,000/1,100,000; USA - 7,700,000/214,100 Continued confusion about whether I am allowed on shows. Jake Tapper was told by Alyssa that it is OK to put me on his show. When Patty and CNN tried to make the arrangements, WH comms said that they did not know anything about this. Jon Karl and Wolf Blitzer also trying in vain to get me on. All day and evening press dominated by the conflict between me and the GOP Campaign regarding their campaign ad featuring me. The press are making Trump look very bad saying that trump is not running against Biden, he is running against Tony Fauci.

There are conceming trends across the United States in nearly every state above the sunbelt where temperahires are dropping. Many states in the heartland and upper midwest and MT, WY, ND. SD.

The Sunbelt contiones to contribute significant daily deaths showing the significant delay between improvement in the pandemic picture and contimed tatalities. Fatalities will begin to rise across the US in the next 1-2 weeks and willoot be offset by declines in the sunbelt. There if an absolute necessity of the Administration to wee this moment of the WH outbreaks to ask the Anverican people to wear masks. physical distance and avold all gatherings in both poblc amd private spaces -- if this level of virus moves indoors with the rate of log spread the US conld be at over LOUK cases daily by the beginning of November.

October 13, 2020 Global USA Increases in cases continue (see map below) Globus USA Mark Meadows has asked me to certify that POTUS is not transmittable for SARS-CoV-2. This relates to the fact that NBC (Savannah Guthrie) execs do not want to host the Town Hall with Savannah moderating on Thursday (10/15/2020) unless they are sure that POTUS will not infect Savannah or anyone else connected with the Town Hall. I offered to have a PCR done here at NIH and to go over all the data with Cliff and certify if appropriate. Cliff went to WH and Sean Conley did nasal swab on POTUS and Cliff brough it back to NIH. Result was CT of 34.3. We then went over all his data including multiple negative cultures and multiple negative antigen tests (see attached document) and clinical course of >10 following onset of sxs and we determined that he was not infectious.
