Oct. 22, 2021 - Global - 242,000,000/4,900,000; USA - 45,100,000/730,000; Larry Tabak was treated very poorly by several Republican congressmen and senators that he briefed yesterday. They continue to distort the truth insisting that I and to some extent doctor Collins have lied about whether or not the NIH funded "gain of function" research. They do not understand nor do they seem to want to understand that we were operating under the framework of P3CO which clearly indicates that the experiments that were funded by the NIH in Wuhan fell under that auspices and were properly conducted according to the existing guidelines at the time. They want to hear none of that and continue to insist that we are denying that gain of function research was done and they put forth the preposterous suggestion if not the strong indication that the research that we funded created SARS-CoV-2. It looks like I'm going to have a tough time at the hearing on November the 4th since they are clearly politically motivated and are doing anything to discredit me and the NIH. I had an enjoyable and productive discussion with the Minister of Health and Social Services of Quebec (Christian Dube and his chief medical advisor Horacio Arruda). The minister was very interested in my advice about where I think we are going with the outbreak looking forward. He asked the question that many ask as to when I believe we may return to some form of normality including when we can get along without wearing masks. I gave him the advice I usually give to people emphasizing how importance the implementation a vaccine program will be in determining when a given country can get back tomorrow.

Oct. 23, 2021 Global - 242,300,000/4,900,000; USA - 45,300,000/733,834 There was the typical but not unexpected backlash on the part of the far-right media concerning the letter that Larry Tabak sent out concerning the progress report from EcoHealth that was late. In order to be totally transparent, Larry sent out a note to Congressman Comer saying that Ecohealth was late in submitting a progress report of their grant and mentioned in the letter that some of the mice in the study had an increase in viral growth and got sicker. This was immediately taken up by the far right as proving that Fauci and Collins were lying when they said we did not fund gain of function research at Wuhan. They failed to mention that in that same letter Larry made it very clear that the research did not rise to the scrutiny of P3CO. In other words by our definition, it was not gain of function. This set off a firestorm of far right media craze saying that Francis and I lied. Therefore, I spent the greater part of today, tonight and tomorrow morning putting together a statement for the NIH website to correct the misrepresentation on the part of the far right media.

Oct. 24, 2021 We are finally getting the statement in shape to put on the NIH website (see above). Fortunately, I was on the Sunday TV Show this morning (see below) with George Stephanopoulos where George gave me the opportunity to refute Rand Paul who will be saying tonight on HBO that I lied and that the President should fire me. I pushed back firmly on this during the TV hit with George and in today's press including Rolling Stone and the Washington Examiner they accurately picked up my push back. This is turning into a continual conflict between me and the far-right Congressman and the far-right media. I will not back down to these ridiculous accusations. ht wing for py-experimentsPRESS: ABC "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos

Oct. 25, 2021 There seems to be no end to the nonsense. No doubt there was a concerted effort led by a group that I'm not sure what it is but it likely is the Republican National Committee which literally has squads of people looking out for anything and everything that I'm involved with and finding some way to attack me. The latest that came out last night and today is the fact that there is apparently an NIAID grant that is testing a vaccine for leishmaniasis in dogs. It vaccinates the dogs and allows sand flies infected with leishmania to bite the dogs. It is now being billed as horrific cruelty to animals directed personally by me. I have no idea what the grant is nor what they are doing in the grants and I'm asking the staff to investigate that now but it has triggered a new hashtag called #Arrest Fauci. We know now that apparently the grant was not an NIAID grant that supported the controversial research on the dogs. They listed us as the grantee when in fact that was a mistake. We are trying to correct this now with a statement to the press. And the crap goes on and on ........ Now they have begun harassing campaign where I am getting does is in dozens of calls on my cell phone using FaceTime from numbers that I do not recognize which are clearly people who now have my cell phone number for harassing me about the Beagle study Wonderful article by Dana Milbank in the Washington Post blasting the right wing for harassing me: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/10/25/fauci-puppy-experimentsconspiracy-republicans/ Another great article by Pavlovitz (blog) again attacking those right wing elements for harrassung me: https://johnpavlovitz.com/2021/10/25/the-mortal-sin-of-anthonyfauci/?fbclid=IwAR3WZ4c5uvgNMye_1LH6JKD86rUReE37IJxJN1dbU5W3uE_crpYt-9RYyg8 Jeff called me up tonight in a very nice phone call. He said that he felt very badly that I was being attacked viciously by the far right and he said that he would do anything that he could if I needed any help from him . But he totally empathized with the fact that I'm being egregiously attacked by the far right. In addition I had a very nice phone call with Chris Wallace of FOX News who called me asking some medical advice about a trip that he wants to take to Oxford to lecture at the Oxford Union . I went over the pros and cons and risk benefit of making such a trip . In the course of the conversation he empathized greatly with me about the attacks that I'm under by the far right and he fully understands what is going on.

Oct. 26, 2021 - GLOBAL - 243,600,000/4,900,000; USA - 45,468,434/736,048 . It is so very clear now that this is a concerted effort to discredit me and assassinate my character. We have counted the attacks regarding the Beagle dog experiments , but still the attacks continue falsely claiming that NIAID funded the studies. FDA VRBPAC met to discuss the data from the Pfizer trial in 5 to 11 yo children. VRBPAC recommended approval and on Oct. 29, FDA issued an EUA for age group. They received 10 micrograms instead of the full dose of 30 micrograms PRESS: Fauci had no involvement in study on monkey threat responses

Oct. 27, 2021 - Global USA Andy Slavitt is out there tweeting in my defense. Yasmeen Abutaleb (Washington Post) Has agreed to write a story trying to uncover the source of this organized effort to discredit me period up to this point I have told her to hold back on doing any big story. However, I think the time is coming very soon uh to do something about this unprecedented attack that I am experiencing. We are getting bombarded by letters from Republican congressmen and senators (Ranking Minorities) on the various committees asking pages and pages of ridiculous questions that really have no answers concerning our oversight of the Wuhan Ecohealth grant and demanding explanation for things that really in many respects are trivial. All of it is underscored by a strong accusatory tone in all the questions. One letter in question was 14 pages long from Cathy McMorris Rogers addressed to Francis Collins. it contained the most miniscule details about technicalities of grants that was getting to the point that we did not have good oversight of the ecohealth grants and hence the strong implication that we may have supported research that led to SARS-Cov-2. Absolutely preposterous !!!

Oct. 28, 2021 - GLOBAL - 244,385,444/4,961,489; USA - 45,655,635/740,348 I had a long conversation with Yasmeen Abutaleb of the Washington Post yesterday . She is getting very worked up about the fact that she realizes now that there is an organized effort to discredit me and she wants to use the investigative reporter capabilities of the Washington Post to try and find out if they can track funding for this effort to the Republican Party or to any other organization that is trying to discredit me. Let us see how this turns out. And Paul continues to look for trouble and this recently asked that the witnesses at the upcoming HELP hearing testify on the oath . He is obviously referring to me because he wants to be able to say that I lied under oath. Please see the letter that he wrote to me below : 21.10.28 Letter to NIAID Director Fauci Politifact is trying to debunk the lies about me that are swirling around fast and furious about killing dogs, starting the AIDS epidemic and killing orphaned children. This is a massive campaign to attack me and discredit me. Unpacking the noise around Dr. Anthony Fauci and beagle experiments

Oct. 30, 2021 Had a meeting in my home today with Hugo Crosthwaite who will be doing one of his extraordinary artistic renditions of me which is a sketched portrait in motion. He was accompanied by Dr. Taina Caragol who is the curator of painting and sculpture and LatinX art and history at the National Portrait Gallery. He wanted to explain to me what he will be doing over the next couple of months in putting together his portrait of me. Last night we had a delightful time visiting the on Massachusetts Ave where we were given a tour of the beautiful library end of the world clock.
