June 20 2022 Tested negative today and have had an essentially asymptomatic course. Began reading Deb Birx's book "Silent Invasion" and it is clear already from the first couple of chapters that she is revising history regarding her initial involvement. I am sure that part of it is true but it wants me to be careful that I have to be strict to the truth of exactly what happened and not pad it in my favor Important discussions today by phone with me and separately David Kessler, Larry Horowitz, Richard Koup and Peter Marks regarding what the ultimate choice for the booster vaccine for the upcoming fall surge. I have been very concerned of late that we are not carefully analyzing the immunological basis for the choice of a booster shot to be administered before the potentially upcoming Fall surge. The companies Pfizer and Moderna apparently want to give a bivalent of wildtype plus omicron since that is what they already seem committed to and are making. It is my opinion that by the time we get to the fall season omicron will be completely gone and off the map since it is already gone. The closest thing that we likely would see would be a surge of BA4/5. Yet everything seems to be pointing to the decision of in the next doing an omicron/wildtype bivalent. Peter Marks who will make the ultimate decision at the FDA agrees with me that we will be fighting yesterday's war if we go with omicron. There will be many discussions this week that I will catalyze to make sure that we get all the appropriate information for the FDA to make a good decision about the booster.

June 21, 2022 GOP threatening me if they assume control over Congress: Top Republican On House Oversight Eyes Hunter Biden, Fauci As Investigative Targets - 'The Takeout'. CBS News (6/17, 5.39M) reported that "if Republicans take control of the House in the next Congress, the House Oversight Committee" would investigate NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, according to Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the top Republican on the committee. Fauci has "maintained that COVID-19 likely resulted from a 'natural occurrence,' as opposed to a lab leak in Wuhan, China, telling a Senate committee this week that the virus likely jumped from 'an animal host, perhaps through an intermediary host, into a human species, which then spread throughout the human population.'" Comer told CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett on this week's "The Takeout" podcast, "We are not going to let up on that. I think the American people deserve to know the truth about COVID 19. They deserve to have a government try to actually find the truth about where the COVID 19 originated from." Clyburn's Committee has finally shone a bright light on the destructive nature of the Scott Atlas dogma of "herd immunity" and the Great Barrington Declaration: House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis New Select Subcommittee Report Reveals Full Scope of Trump Administration's Embrace of a Dangerous and Discredited Herd Immunity via Mass Infection Strategy

Jun 21, 2022 Press Release Report is the first in a series on the Select Subcommittee's investigation into the Trump Administration's political interference with the federal coronavirus response National Review The Leadership Board will consist of the ASPR (Chair), the H-CORE COO, the Directors of CDC and NIH, the H-CORE Chief Science Advisor, the FDA Commissioner, the President's Chief Medical Advisor, the Assistant Secretary for Health, and the Surgeon General. The Leadership Board will advise the HHS Secretary on significant matters related to the H-CORE effort. The Board will also discuss and make recommendations regarding integrating and aligning H-CORE with other COVID-19 response efforts and facilitate other departmental operational priorities requiring significant cross-OpDiv and -StaffDiv coordination.

For "The Corner" of the National Review (6/17, 798K), George Leef linked to a piece in the Brownstone Institute by Jordan Schachtel, who argued that NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, is unlikely to follow his own advice after being infected with COVID-19.

June 22, 2022 There has been some considerable tension between the new H-CORE group who is headed by Jason Roos and the rest of the HHS tream. They are involved in making major decision about distribution of money.

June 24, 2022 We are stuck at around 100,000 cases/day and this is very likely a significant underestimate. Deaths remain low: Had and important Zoom conversation with Peter Marks and a whole bunch of people (see below) regarding the upcoming choice of a booster for the fall season. I am in favor of a bivalent wild-type/BA4/5 or a monovalent BA4/5. Emily Erbelding Sarah Walinsky

June 26, 2022 Feel much better this morning, on my second day of Paxlovid. Will take it very easy today and see what happens over the next couple of days. I'm reading Deb Birx's book and it can serve as a really good reference for me to refresh my memory about dates and events.
