February 28, 2021 (Sunday) - Global - 113,500,000/2,500,000; USA - 28,400,000/510,800 Big topic on the Sunday shows (see below) was the EUA Issued by the FDA for the Johnson and Johnson adeno virus vaccine. Also, there is concern that I expressed about easing up on prevention modalities since the decreasing slope up infections is starting to show signs of plateauing. On Face the Nation( see below) Margaret Brennan showed a clip of me being portrayed on Saturday Night Live by Kate McKinnon. Also, the governor of South Dakota Kristi Noem said that I was almost always wrong. She claims that the most important parameter of how well you are doing is how you maintain hospital capacity. When Margaret play that clip I was kind to the governor by saying different states do different things and in different ways, whereas I might have pointed out that her state has the most deaths per capita by COVID-19 than any other state in the country. Got a call from Jeff that Anita Dunn saw me on all the shows and said that I was fabulous. Flattening of decline concerning. We shall see what happens in the coming days and weeks.

The main topic was whether we should stick with our strategy of two doses in the usual time frame or switch to one dose and extend the interval by a couple of months before giving the second dose. Ron is concerned that in November we will be criticized for having let a few million people who would have been vaccinated remain UN vaccinated This Week with George Stephanopoulos; CNN 'the Nation '5400,000/5 12,000 ',900,000/5 13,100 because we wanted to give two doses to everyone. I was the main explainer emphasizing that the second dose gives a much higher titer of antibody that will address at least partially the inevitable evolution of variants including those from California and importantly the B.1.526. Ron did not want to tell us what to do but he wanted to make sure that we seriously considered both alternatives and were comfortable without decision to stick with two doses on the regular regiment. The ACIP recommended to CDC to implement the EUA for the J & J vaccine. Now the CDC needs to recommend the distribution and we can start distributing 4,000,000 doses almost immediately and then we will have 20 million by the end of March and a total of 100,000,000 by the end of June PRESS: Was on 4 Sunday talk shows: ABC This Week with George Stephanopoulos; CNN State of the Union with Dana Bash; CBS Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan; NBC Meet the Press with Chuck Todd.

March 4, 2021 - Global - 115,000,000/2,600,000; USA - 28,600,000/517,200 Continuing to plateau: Governors of Texas and Mississippi are pulling back on all public health guidelines such as masks (removing the mask mandate), physical distance, crowds. Press slamming them for thisand Rochelle and I are being asked about this on every media hit. Had very good discussion with Dr. Soren Brostrom, Director General of the Danish Health Authority Danish representative on the WHO Executive Board AND Lone Dencker Wisborg, Danish Ambassador to USA on Global Health matters and potential collaboration between USA and Denmark in global health security and pandemic preparedness. Also met with Congressman Espaillat regarding variant B.1.526 in his district in NYC. Had back and forth with Jeff and Rochelle regarding the guidelines that CDC is preparing on what people who are vaccinated can and cannot do. Jeff Wants to make sure that I am comfortable with the guidelines. I looked at them in the usual manner the CDC had too many qualifying statements in there that were necessary. Jeff had a problem with putting a vaccinated person in the same room with a person who is not vaccinated and not using masks. I convinced him that we should assume the very small risk and if the person who is not vaccinated is of low risk, then one does not have to wear a mask. Jeff was very sensitive in not having the White House interfere and so he went along with my suggestion that actually agreed with the CDC, except for the fact that they were not precise in their wording can I edited their document some what. The bottom line is that we would say that two vaccinated people can be indoors together in a home setting without masks or physical distancing. In the home setting, where one person is vaccinated and the other person is not, the vaccinated person has a minimal risk and attention ',600,000/519,100 New Daily Confirmed COVID-19 Cases In the U.S. a0 o cel rm g& a arr Tet bit aft TEC yet Oe E/T Leet ORT ETE GETT czvtt SULT BYLL TET THA ts ozs We OES SVE ee 2/8 Laid Bie We Eta) TE pis ufo TENS pers ews ons eG Ela Bir yr Pras fre SWE 2020/2021 1ed about should be paid to the risk of the unvaccinated person.
