March 29, 2021 - Global - 126,900,000/2,800,000; USA - 30,100,000/546,700 • Considerable commenting rom the press about the Sanjay Gupta Special last night on the "6 Doctors" where me, Birx, redfield, Hahn, Giroir, and Kadlec were interviewed. I cam out fine, but the press criticized the rest , particularly Birx, Redfield and Hahn for using the interviews to try to rehabilitate their reputations that suffered by their performance during the Trump administration where they did not speak up against the misinformation from Trump (see below under "Press") • Briefed the POTUS and VPOTUS on our usual weekly briefing. • President Trump lashed back in response to the CNN Special last night and wildly criticized Deb and I even making up stories that I bad-mouthed Deb all the time. He is truly an obnoxious adolescent. Below is his statement: - March 29, 2021 - Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America Based on their interviews, I felt it was time to speak up about Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx, two self-promoters trying to reinvent history to cover for their bad instincts and faulty recommendations, which I fortunately almost always overturned. They had bad policy decisions that would have left our country open to China and others, closed to reopening our economy, and years away from an approved vaccine--putting millions of lives at risk. We developed American vaccines by an American President in record time, nine months, which is saving the entire world. We bought billions of dollars of these vaccines on a calculated bet that they would work, perhaps the most important bet in the history of the world. Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx moved far too slowly, and if it were up to them we'd currently be locked in our basements as our country suffered through a financial depression. Families, and children in particular, would be suffering the mental strains of this disaster like never before. In a fake interview last night on CNN, Dr. Fauci, who said he was an athlete in college but couldn't throw a baseball even close to home plate, it was a "roller," tried to take credit for the vaccine, when in fact he said it would take three to five years, and probably longer, to have it approved. Dr. Fauci was incapable of pressing the FDA to move it through faster. I was the one to get it done, and even the fake news media knows and reports this.

He fought me so hard because he wanted to keep our country open to countries like China. I closed it against his strong recommendation, which saved many lives. Dr. Fauci also said we didn't need to wear masks, then a few months later he said we needed to wear masks, and now, two or three of them. Fauci spent U.S. money on the Wuhan lab in China--and we now know how that worked out. Dr. Birx is a proven liar with very little credibility left. Many of her recommendations were viewed as "pseudo-science," and Dr. Fauci would always talk negatively about her and, in fact, would ask not to be in the same room with her. The States who followed her lead, like California, had worse outcomes on Covid, and ruined the lives of countless children because they couldn't go to school, ruined many businesses, and an untold number of Americans who were killed by the lockdowns themselves. Dr. Birx was a terrible medical advisor, which is why I seldom followed her advice. Her motto should be "Do as I say, not as I do." Who can forget when Dr. Birx gave a huge mandate to the people of our Nation to not travel, and then traveled a great distance to see her family for Thanksgiving--only to have them call the police and turn her in? She then, embarrassingly for her, resigned. Finally, Dr. Birx says she can't hear very well, but I can. There was no "very difficult" phone call, other than Dr. Birx's policies that would have led us directly into a COVID caused depression. She was a very negative voice who didn't have the right answers. Time has proven me correct. I only kept Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx on because they worked for the U.S. government for so long--they are like a bad habit!

March 30, 2021 - Global USA I remain close to Deb Birx and she still communicates with me about he observations of how things are going. Below is an e-mail she sent me this morning: Testing rates continue to drop reaching under July levels despite substantial increase in number of test and testing supplies available. "Surveillance testing" or testing for this silent spread is so critical. The original rising test positivity in 18-24 is now 25-44 and rising. This is how all the prior surges occurred - due to vaccination level the fatalities maybe be less and the risk to the health system maybe less but the potential for significant increases in morbidity and long term impact of COVID 19 will be most evident in these age groups. Simply repeating the same public health messages without tailoring to specific age groups on specific media platforms where the message will be heard will not have the impact we need at this moment. Please take care of yourself. Deb Age Group Percent of Population National Number of Viral (RT-PCR) Lab Tests by Age per Month 100% + 80% - 60% 7 40% ~ 20% ~ <5 - Number of Tests (100,000) 100 - Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar 2020202020202020202020202020202020202020202120212021 mmm 5-11 mmm 12-17 mem 18-24 mmm 25-44 mm 45-64 mm 65+ Trump furious and being inarticulate in responding to our appearance on CNN Special. He is still talking about my errant pitch on opening day last year. He is rambling on. Meadows and Navarro are attacking me on FOX News. Navarro calling me a pathologic liar and calling the virus the "Fauci Virus'. The Trump team is really acting like a bunch of idiots. Peter Navarro being delusional again: Peter Navarro Slams Dr. Fauci: Virus Came From 'Building' He Built • Had Zoom meeting with Brazilian Minister of Health Dr. Marcello Queiroga. They need help from the USA because they are having a terrible problem and President Bolsonaro is very Trump-like and hurting the country with his approach. I offered to help by collaborating in research and discussing strategies. They really want vaccine from us, but the USA policy is that we will wait until we vaccinate our whole country before we give away excess vaccines. Unfortunately, that is all that I could offer them. They will get plenty of vaccine from Pfizer, AZ and J & J in late May and early June. After the zoom meeting, I received a note from one of their scientists - Dr. Jorge Kalil. He asked me to please help them and hang in their with them sine Bolonsaro in terrible and the Brazilian scientific community and Brazilian people hold me in high regard and they need me to stick up for them nother interesting chat on his r CNN • Had Zoom meeting with Marshawn Lynch former running back for the Seattle Seahawks. Really interesting. A lot of street talk. It was actually a "PSA" for vaccinating African Americans • Had Zoom with D.L. Hughley - famous entertainer - another interesting chat on his show about African Americans and CVID vaccinations • WHO Report is out saying that it is "very unlikely" that the virus originated from a lab accident.

Interesting that they are asking me to explain the "crisis" at the border when that has nothing to do with me. • Had great interview with Neal Cavuto of FOX (see below under "Press") in which he allowed me to counter all of the criticisms of people like Mark Meadows, Lindsey Graham, Navarro, etc. Navarro is calling me a pathological liar saying that I had nothing to do with the vaccine. He said this in response to my saying that one of the best choicesI made was to push ahead with Barney Graham's collaborationwith Moderna. Obviously, Navarro has no idea about this and so has no idea what he is talking about • Another important issue - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr has written a book about me entitled "The Real Anthony Fauci", which will almost certainly be a slanderous book.
