Typical conspiracy theory. (see below) From Jane Whitney: Dear Dr. Fauci, Rarely are we at a loss for words. But we're hard pressed to adequately express how grateful we are for your extraordinary appearance during our season premiere of "Common Ground" last Sunday. The rave reviews for your "Human Google" pandemic database and your candor continue to roll in. But, it was your earthy sensibility that lifted the broadcast to a visceral level which resonated with so many. During this chaotic chapter when we're trying to cope with the pandemic plus a bitterly divided country, you give people hope that leadership, integrity -- and humanity -- can lift us to better days. Your friend and WaPo columnist Michael Gerson captured your gestalt when he observed that you have "no other ambition or agenda than the health of the country and the world." Origins of 500,000/579,000 Not since I interviewed former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright last summer had the phrase "national treasure" popped into my head. But, your constancy and commitment to leading our nation through the scourge of the coronavirus, warranted using that phrase again during the close of our interview. On behalf of our entire "Common Ground" team, we are especially thankful that you were willing to donate your talent and considerable time to join us for our series launch on national television • Had call with Jeff Zients who (like me) is concerned that the CDC and Rochelle are being too conservative with regard to not loosening up restrictions for people who have been vaccinated. The CDC is beginning to lose credibility. Jeff realizes this and because of my close relationship with Rochelle, he wants me to get her to understand that. She is sticking closely with the advice of her career people who are often behind the real world. • Followed up with Rochelle and told her in a fatherly advice that the CDC is loosing credibility by being so rigid with the guidelines for vaccinated people.

    May 13, 2021 - Global USA • My conversation with Rochelle the night before the hearing must have worked. She just called me to tell me that she has made a major change in the CDC recommendations. 700,000/58 1,600 's from CDC: 600,000/582,300 She will take my advice and change the guidelines to read that a vaccinated person can go without a mask whether or not they are indoors or outdoors. This is a major change and I'm very pleased that she listened to me. The radical right-wing maniacs who blamed me for the rigidity of the CDC recommendations will probably not realize at all that it was me that triggered this change. • Had a productive meeting with David Marchick and his team from the United States International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to determine how they may help to use their financing capability to provide vaccine doses to low and middle income countries. We discussed the multiple ways that this can be done ranging from financing transfer a technology two actually buying doses from companies to distribute to poorer countries. Also want to call besides Francis Collins and I were the teams from DFC and USAID. Also there was John Mascola and Cliff Lane. • Things continue to heat up regarding the innuendoes about our being responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic because of our grant to EcoHealth. Amazing!!! All the right wing conspiracy theorists are piling on with no data at all. PRESS: CBS "This Morning" with Gayle King; CNN with Jake Tapper; NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt;

In a commentary about my commencement address at Vanderbilt one of the newspapers (The Tennessean) reported that as I was giving the speech → While he was speaking on YouTube, trolls were calling him a liar. • Cliff Lane and I together with Francis Collins have always been skeptical about the efficacy of convalescent plasma for the treatment of COVID-19. Accumulating data over the past few months have made it clear that despite the claims of people such as Arturo Casadevall and others that convalescent plasma works and is beneficial , it is clear that Cliff and I and Francis were correct all along. • In a situation very similar to what I had faced multiple times such as when I picked up food at Chef Geoff's tonight I went with Chris to pick up carry out from Raku restaurant on Wisconsin Ave. As soon as people recognized me there was a wave of applause and squealing and screaming and clapping and thanking me with multiple people coming and asking for selfies . It was a little bit embarrassing, but it was just a manifestation of how people need a symbol of integrity and truth. • Joan Baez texted me tonight asking me about what she should wear for the State Department dinner since she heard that it was going to be 90 plus degrees in Washington on Friday and she anticipated that the air conditioning in the state Department would be freezing.
