    June 6, 2021 - Global - USA Today I fly up to New York City with first lady doctor Jill Biden to promote vaccinations among the African American community. We will be visiting the Abyssinian church in Harlem. The vicious assault on me continues . Most recently House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has called for me to be fired. What an amazing coward he is. The entire extreme right wing republican group in the House and Senate have completely sold their soul to the infinitely lying ex president trump. • I spoke with Jeff Zients this morning and he told me that Ron Klain told him that President Biden is 100% behind me (see above).

    June 7, 2021 - Global - 173,000,000/3,700,000; USA - 33,200,000/594,800 • Eventful day - I went to New York today with first lady doctor Jill Biden for two reasons: 1st )to visit the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem in order to thank them for setting up a vaccine clinic and to encourage them to continue to advocate for young people to get vaccinated. I flew up with the first lady on one of the Air Force planes assigned to the White House and had a great conversation with her on the plane up as well as on the plane down. She is an amazingly natural and one person with whom I believe we have now started a good friendship. The people at the Abyssinian church or extremely kind to me in saying how much they appreciated that I was there and all of them wanting to take selfies with me. We stayed at the Bowery hotel at the interface between Chinatown and the Bowery. i was surprised that we picked the hotel Since where we want to go for the TV hit the following morning was way Uptown. Brett Rowland and I had a great Italian dinner at the Primi restaurant in the Bowery. The following day the first lady and I appeared together on the Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest Show (KABC). It was very lighthearted and enjoyable. Another very important aspect of the day is that as I was getting ready to take off with the motorcade from the White House on the way to Andrews Air Force Base, the president came walking down the back alley , the Secret Service called me out of the car , and the president put both his hands on both my shoulders and said "I just want to tell you that I am behind you 1000%"; and he repeated again "I am behind you 1000%." He said "those people are crazy they have no idea what they're talking about and just don't pay any attention to them." • Back to the dark side. Scott Gottlieb had appeared on Face the Nation and mentioned in an attempt to help me then I had actually gone to Europe in Jan/Feb. 2020 to brief health New Daily Confirmed COVID-19 Cases in the U.S. =] ite) 7TM [=] [=] 7" TM~ ra - = oS uhh 1.2 Sta Sit GEE TUL Gi mzyg Trg rEg uo Tels refs itis Otis etre Cin Fal Ere ZEyE STE 2020/2021 00,000/595,300 ministers about the possibility that the virus could have been constructed an escape from the laboratory. He did this to indicate that I was not hiding anything because I already knew that this was a possibility and so I didn't change my mind currently by saying that a lab leak is a possibility since I was talking about it openly back then. As it turns out, he was a little bit mixed up because on January 31st, 2020 I received a call from Jeremy Farrar who conferenced in Christian Andersen to tell me that Ed Holmes and Christian had seen a copy of the sequence of the virus and felt that there was a possibility that because of the unusual furin cleavage site that this could possibly have been a constructed virus. as indicated in my notes of January 31st and February 1st , 2020, since I am not an evolutionary biologist I called together by phone a group knowledgeable scientist together with Francis Collins and a few other people to discuss this. After a considerable amount of discussion about half of the people felt that this was possibly a constructed virus and the other half were convinced that this was a natural occurrence. A few weeks later Christian Andersen got together with Bob Garry and Andrew Rambaut to examine this more carefully and they came to the conclusion that they were convinced that this. was a natural occurrence and a jump from the animal reservoir. They published their data in a preprint server in February followed by a nature paper in March of 2020 . That is the reason why it appears that a I briefed people which I did not . I was briefed by them . Scott had said that I had briefed a group of international health people he seemed to have gotten some of the story wrong , but overall he was correct. Cases continue to come down:

    June 9, 2021 - Global - 173,700,000/3,700,000; USA - 33,200,000/595,600 Today the president went to England on the first leg of the trip involving the G7 summit. With regard to COVID-19, he has a very important message to deliver which I am very pleased about. He will announce that the United States will give away 500 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine to countries that do not have the capability of getting their own vaccine. I have been pushing for this for some time with Jeff and I have even spoken to the President and VP about the need to take a leadership role in getting vaccines to the lower and middle income countries. This is a first step towards vaccinating the world and to having the United States resume our leadership role throughout the world. I will continue to push to have technology transfer to the 200,000/596,000 developing world so that ultimately they may be able to make their own vaccine. But for now, the role of the United states as a world leader has been clearly affirmed by the President's action PRESS: CNN with Erika Hill; Podcast with former Congressman Pete Sessions; MSNBC "Meet the Press Daily" with Chuck Todd; Wall Street Journal Tech Summit; My picture was on the 1st page of the Style Section of the Washington Post together with Jill Biden and Debra Frazier-Howse Washington Post: Biden administration to buy 500 million Pfizer coronavirus vaccine doses to donate to the world By Tyler Pager and Emily Rauhala

He had texted me to ask what I thought of the interview yesterday. I told him that I thought it was absolutely terrific, but I wanted some advice from him . I asked him whether he thought that I should pull back from publicly defending myself against the slanderous attacks since that might call more attention to them. He completely agreed and said that Fox News and people like Tucker Carlson would use anything I say as the theme for their next show. Chuck is really an excellent journalist and although he must maintain his objectivity and reporting it is very clear that he is really being a friend in understanding the difficult position that I am in. • Did Fireside chats with Irini Sereti; Bio Annual Meeting Fireside chat with Julie Gerbelding; "Reaching adolescents" interview with Vivek Murthy PRESS: Univision Interview with Ilia Calderone; Washington Post - Only in our anti-truth hellscape could Anthony Fauci become a supervillain 300,000/597,000 the criticism of me is (see below Anthony S.

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 • . The data were extremely exciting with a 90.4% vaccine efficacy and 100% efficacy against severe disease. We are becoming almost complacent with these spectacular results about vaccine efficacy .
