    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;

    Oct. 24, 2022 The Uganda Ebola outbreak is spreading in Kampala and causing concern. Interesting meeting this AM at the Pentagon. At the invitation of general Charles Brown, I was given a tour of the Pentagon. Apparently, a lot of people at the Pentagon admire me very much and wanted to have the opportunity to show me around the facility. I spent close to two hours getting a tour that was truly fascinating and enjoyable given my love of the history of wars, and the response to me was very moving. Several women civilian employees as well as military officers came over to me wanting selfies and in their telling me how much they admired what I have done throughout my career, more than one of them actually broke into tears as they were telling me how much they appreciated me. It was very moving. I also had the opportunity to have a chat with Secretary Lloyd Austin as well as my friend Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley. Mark was amazing. He gave me his new Joint Chiefs Chairman challenge coin as well as a signed copy of three books: the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, And Washington's rules of civility. He was also hilarious and telling me that President Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland, himself, and I are going to be attacked by the GOP if they ew with Der Spiegel with Raphaela von Bredow take over the house and the Senate. Mark's comments to their attempts on attacking us amounted to two words that he told me: "Fuck 'em". He told me he was not going to take any shit from them. As a military officer he will act with civility, but if they try to push him around and embarrass him and humiliate him publicly he will blow them away. It was refreshing to hear him and his response to what I will almost certainly be facing, and I totally agree with him. PRESS: Extensive profile interview with Der Spiegel with Raphaela von Bredow

    Oct. 25, 2022 COVID in Poland versus USA I did an event at the White House with President Biden where he got vaccinated in front of a TV camera after interacting with me, Ashish, and Vivek, as well as several CEO's of pharmaceutical corporations such as CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and Albertsons. The POTUS was extremely nice to me giving me a big hug in front of everyone and telling everybody that he and I have been through hell together and that I saved the country and was the one that kept it all together when things really got bad. He was really quite sincere and very nice.
