Of UNAIDS) together with Regan Hofmann. Winnie was very grateful for my leadership in COBID-19 and HIV/AIDS. We discussed the importance of having a global effort (hopefully led by USA) to get the world vaccinated against COVID-19. Winnie was excited about the fact that I mentioned the loosening of patents in a recent interview to allow wider availability of COVID-19 vaccines. I promised that I will continue to push the "international and global" agenda. I mentioned that we would need to get things under better control in the USA before we would be able to generate interest in global issues.

Will be race between the new variants and our two tools of defense: 1) vaccine; 2) public health measures. Luckily the mRNA vaccines and J & J are good against the B.117 (UK). Even though they are less effective against the B1.531 (RSA) isolate they still likely will protect against hospitalization and death - the J & J definitely does (tested in RSA) and we can extrapolate that the mRNA (not yet tested in RSA) also does.
