   Dec. 16, 2022 Momentous Day!!! Today we had the ceremony for my "stepping down" at NIH. I chose a simple ceremony with 3 minute speeches by Larry Tabak, Francis Collins, John Gallin, Cliff Lane and Christine. This was followed by a 15 minute Q and A with John Burklow and a concluding speech by me. I thought that I would get through the entire speech without choking up but when I got to the point about Christine, I choked up for about 15 seconds. The ceremony was exactly like I wanted it - no bells and whistles.

   Dec. 17, 2022 It is clear (I have not been reporting it every day) that the far, extreme right and Qanon literally hate me and De Santis is starting to play into this with his growin campaign for presidency. From the New York Times: Although "vaccine paranoia and Fauci hatred are still niche positions in the electorate at large," if anyone "imagines that replacing Trump with DeSantis as the G.O.P.'s leader would signal a party on its way to becoming sane again is in for a rude shock."
