I am invited and will use this as an excuse not to attend the "Vaccine Summit" at the White House today. Trump will use it as a PR stunt to claim credit for the vaccines. Pfizer (Bourla) and Moderna (Bancel) have pulled out of attending. Biden announced his medical team today in Wilmington, DE. I was announced as his "Chief Medical Advisor". I have made a video of my message to the group since I cannot attend (see above). • Had call with Joan Baez who wanted information about the effectiveness of masks in protecting you from acquisition of infection. Also, she is worried about her son and daughter-in-law who want to travel to South America. She wants to be able to tell them that I said that it was ill-advised. • Call with Ellen Sigal and then Larry Horowitz about FDA Commissioner. Lots of rumors and the usual anxiety about candidates. Josh Sharfstein is being considered but many people are pushing back. Kessler is being considered, but most everyone thinks that this is a bad idea. Janet Woodcock is emerging as a top choice. I like that. • Much concern that we did not contract with Pfizer for enough vaccine; we just did not accept their offer to provide more. Now it seems that this was a big mistake. Press are all over this. • Nancy Messonnier called. She is concerned that Gen. Perna is making decisions without proper knowledge and/or consultation with CDC.

December 12, 2020 - Global - 69,500,000/1,600,000; USA - 15,700,000/295,000. FDA has approved an EUA for the Pfizer mRNA vaccine for people 16 years and older!! USG authorized an additional 100 million doses of Moderna mRNA (in addition to the original 100 million that we contracted for. Although some states that are mitigating are showing stabilization, several others are showing the impact of the Thanksgiving holiday. • Had Zoom call with Jeff Zientz and Natalie Quillian about what the Biden team should be doing as they hit the ground on January 21. I mentioned: 1) the importance of a clear and consistent message from above; 2) the importance of testing (diagnostics) for asymptomatic people for the purposes of surveillance and screening such as in schools (mentioned my conversation with Raj Shah and the Rockefeller Foundation people) about testing school teachers 2x per week and K-12 children 1x per week. Also early testing is key for early treatment; 3) Treatment - importance of early treatments with either direct anti-virals or perfect the mAb and hyper immune-Ig; 4) Make sure that vaccines are smoothly and equitably distributed. There has been much play in the media over the past few weeks about what they are calling the "Fauci effect" whereby the medical school admission have gone up about 50% over the past year due in large part to students realizing what I have been doing and able to accomplish as a physician and this is inspiring them to go to medical school.
