Peter and James have been pushing to have the United States government make a major investment in Lanza, which is the company that produces the doses for Moderna. David explained to them that there is enormous capacity with the mRNA companies themselves and so was not particularly amenable to going straight to Lanza. I have been trying to broker an understanding between Peter and James and David , but I'm not so sure how successful I would be • .

June 12, 2021 - Global USA • had our usual medical team meeting with Jeff this AM (Sat). The important good news is that the president's announcement a 500 million doses of vaccine going to low and middle income countries is going across very well throughout the world. As the president has said, "America is back " in our rightful leadership role. • Had a very good conversation today with Hugo Crosthwaite and Taina Caragol. Hugo is a famous artist who will be doing a commissioned "motion" portrait of me for the National Portrait Gallery. Taina works for the NPG. The theme of the portrait is the show that I have been the symbol of truth and science and have been attacked by the forces of untruth and evil. His prior work is in an unusual medium where he those pencil drawings of a person Anne photographs them to look like a mini movie picture. I have seen some of his work and it is extraordinary and spectacular. I am looking forward to seeing what the result will be. The results should be sometime at the end of the year. PRESS: New York Times (Davey Alba) - No, Fauci is not profiting from a coming book on lessons he's learned from his public service. The above article points out the fact that despite Nat Geo making it very clear that I received no money from their book the far right including many GOP congressman I still insisting that I was profiting while people were dying.

The basis of his saying this is that he feels that the virus was so well adapted to humans right from the beginning that it had to have ichelkazatchkine.com 54 AM @niaid.nih.gov> d Central Asia leaked from a lab. Any respectable virologist would know that this is total nonsense since the virus clearly could have jumped species as a less efficient spreader and causer of serious disease and had been circulating in the human population beneath the radar screen gathering efficiency in transmission and pathogenesis until it was finally recognized in the middle of December of 2019 when many people were getting seriously ill. This is the way viruses evolve from nature. In fact, we are still seeing that to this day in what we are currently experiencing in that variants are developing greater capability of spreading and gaining even greater pathogenesis. Another example of Bob Redfield being dead wrong. I am surprised and disappointed that he is out there spouting such nonsense. I guess that he wants to feel relevant now that he is no longer CDC Director. ● Email of support fro Michel Kazatchkine:

June 18, 2021 - Global - 177,000,000/3,800,000; USA - 33,300,000/600,000 Received important e-mail with attachment from Jesse Bloom: Hi Francis, Stephen, and Toni, I'm just writing to give you a heads up that I identified a data set of early Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 sequences that has been deleted from the NIH's Sequence Read Archive (SRA). I was able to recover the deleted files from the Google Cloud and analyze the sequences, and have attached a pre-print on the analysis that I just submitted for posting by bioRxiv. Since SARS-CoV-2 origins and early spread has become a hot-button topic, I wanted to give you a heads up. I made sure to emphasize in the discussion that the SRA has many sequences and so isn't in a position to vet all deletions. Nonetheless, I think it would be highly worthwhile to do a comprehensive analysis of SRA (and other NIH) data that might be relevant to this topic that could have been deleted or otherwise overlooked. If I can be of any assistance, let me know. I have been running a pipeline to identify additional deleted SRA data using various heuristics including those in described in the attached pre-print, but have not yet completed the analysis enough to know the extent that the data I have recovered is relevant to SARS-CoV-2's origins or early spread. But as I mention in the pre-print, there are two known SRR deletions that are worth looking at. I definitely think it would be good to perform a SRA side search as well, since that will obviously be easier and more efficient, and could identify deleted data not on the cloud. Anyway, I hope overall this can be a good opportunity for the NIH to take the lead by using its remarkable data archives to make progress in resolving some of the important questions about the virus's origins. Thanks, Jesse ---- Jesse Bloom Associate Professor, Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center Affiliate Associate Professor, Genome Sciences & Microbiology, University of Washington Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute paper.pdf I believe that it was somewhat imprudent on the part of Jesse bloom to make statements such as he has that indicate nefarious motives on the part of the Chinese when we have no idea why they deleted the sequences. He used words such as "obscure" and "surreptitious" which will certainly create a firestorm when conspiracy theorists read it. The best thing to do is to have Frances and I again convene a group of evolutionary virologists to discuss the potential meaning of this . We will do this two days from now on Sunday June 20.

June 19, 2021 - Global USA Horrible roller coaster day Global USA avirus vaccine appeal comes LZ m ● Chris and I viewed the "FAUCI" documentary doe by Nat/Geo together with the leadership of Nat/Geo films at the national geographic headquarters on 17th Street, NW. Very impressive film. ● At the request of the White House I did a walking tour of the Anacostia neighborhood Of Washington DC together with Mayor Muriel Bowser. we started off at anacostia high school where we thanked the volunteers in the basketball gym who were administering vaccines to people in the neighborhood . We then went on and addressed the volunteers in the schoolyard of Kramer Middle School. After that, the mayor and I went door to door knocking on the doors and encouraging people in the neighborhood to get vaccinated. We did that for about an hour and 15 minutes. it got written up the next day in the Washington Post (see below).

June 20, 2021 - Global USA Uneventful and somewhat relaxing day . Still trying to process the news from yesterday. Will have to live with uncertainty for the next three months. As indicated above, Francis Collins organized a zoom call for today with a group of evolutionary biologists as well as Steve Sherry from the NIH databank in order to discuss this issue. Jesse bloom was also on the call. See email below from Francis having organized the meeting:
