Oct. 13, 2022 Had a very disappointing conversation today with Dep Sec Andrea Palm, Kevin Barstow and the HHS General Counsel Samuel Bagenstos. They essentially told me that they will not be able to help me at all after I leave government service on December the 31st. In terview with spaper particular, they will not be able to provide me with legal backup if I get called before oversight committees if the GOP takes over the Congress. In addition, they are going to discontinue my protective service that has been given to me for the past 2 1/2 years. They even went on to suggest that I could hire a private security firm to protect me. I would say that this is a relinquishment of their responsibility to me since everything that I've done that has put me into this position I've done in my service to HHS and the US government.

She is writing for her school newspaper and she asked for an interview. She was over the moon that I agreed to do the interview Considerable concern that is growing about the impact of new variants that have a transmission advantage and that evade the critical monoclonal antibodies such as Evusheld: It's the BQ.1 and 1.1 that we should be terrified about.

Oct. 16, 2022 Did a panel at the Annual meeting of the NAM. Panel chaired by Salim Abdul Karim. I spoke on "Lesson Learned from COVID-19". Has a brunch at "Founding Farmers" restaurant with Salim and Quarraisha. Still very tough going out in public since I get swamped by people wanting selfies. The agents do not like that since if I say yes to one then a whole crowd forms. Washington Post Opinion piece by John Erickson: Opinion Anthony Fauci's work saved countless lives

Anthony S. Fauci
Oct. 17, 2022 Crazy thing has now emerged. Boston University investigators have done an experiment that clearly would have fallen under the category of oversight by the P3CO process. Yet they never told our NIAID program people about it, nor was there any mention of these experiments in the grant that they cited in the pre print paper, nor was there any mention of this in the progress reports from the grant. What they did was swap an omicron spike on to a Wuhan matrix to determine the effect of the chimera on the function of the virus. As you might expect the people who have been attacking us for gain-of-function research are jumping all over this. We are putting out a statement indicating that we knew nothing of these experiments and they should have told us about them and put it through the P3CO process. Let us see how this plays out.

Oct. 19, 2022 BU admits that they did the experiments on their own and did not use NIAID funds. Stll ongoing discussion whether this was actually GOF since fewer mice died. In any event, we are clear of this. Presented for the last time as NIAID Director to the Executive Committee of IDSA at the Marquis Marriott Hotel in DC PRESS: CBS TV News;
