Anthony S. Fauci
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.

    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

She is working with Courtney Billet on gathering information connecting this activity with the far-right Republicans. Most recently they discovered that Donald Trump Jr. in his campaign running for office is selling shirts that say "Fauci kills dog". Hopefully, Yasmeen we'll have a story out of this.

    Nov. 1, 2021 Continued attacks from far right.. "National Pulse" talking about a book soon to come out by Peter Navarro that attacks me. Just found out that Nicholas Erickson of the Republican National Committee has been FOIA-ing my emails as well as "copies of Anthony Fauci's scheduled meetings, appointments, scheduled events, outlook calender events, and aily briefing books between the dates 6/1/21 to present" (Sept 2, 2021) Preparing for the Nov. 4 Senate HELP Hearing. Rand Paul has sent letter to me, Rochelle, Dawn O'Connell and Janet Woodcock asking if we would be willing to testify under oath. This is completely unusual for a minority who is not even the ranking minority to make such a request . It is very clear where he is going with this. He wants to be able to tweet after the hearing that whatever I said was lying underoath similar to what he had said before. I doubt very seriously whether the chair of the committee, Patty Murray, will allow this. However, we shall see. Did the Stubing Lecture of the Greenwall Foundation this evening. It was a fireside chat moderated by Sanjay Gupta who interviewed Christine and I in front of a virtual audience of a noteworthy because of the extraordinarily polished performance that Christine gave in the fireside chat interview. It is very clear that she is highly respected by her colleagues in the field of ethics. Her performance was flawless.

    Nov. 2, 2021 - Global - 246,594,191/4,998,784; USA - 46,024,349/745,274 The decline in cases in the United states is unfortunately beginning to plateau. We have started to see the inklings of this as the steepness of the deflection has diminished and we are getting stuck for several days now at around 70,000 cases per day. We will have to watch this closely. In addition, cases in the European Union particularly in Eastern Europe are starting to surge. This is all bad news as we enter into the cold season of the fall and winter. Francis Collins and I had a conference call with chairperson Patty Murray of the HELP committee. She was very sympathetic about the fact that the Republicans would have come at me pretty hard and she wanted me to explain to her about gain of function research so that she could get a better understanding of things and she promised that she would give me the opportunity to respond if people like Rand Paul do not give me the possibility of the chance of responding ACIP meets today to discuss Pfizer vaccine for 5 to 11 yo. Voted unanimously to recommend vaccines for 5 to 11 year olds Governor Phil Murphy of New Jersey was involved in a very close race for re election. The next day (tomorrow) I texted him and congratulated him on his close win. He texted me back thanking me for my friendship and sending his best regards to Christine. He is really a good guy.
