Nov. 3, 2022 Had Tabletop exercise at the EEOB-350 for emergence of new variant. Led by Ashish Jha and Kevin O'Prey. Present was HHS crew (with Becerra virtual) and Denis McDonough (VA). Only 90 minutes. We really did not accomplish much. Some good comments by Denis McDonough. Am starting to feel the reality of the fact that I am leaving for good in about 7 weeks. A lot of clearing out to do in my office.

Nov. 4, 2022 I received the call today from David Ho who had recently published a preprint article showing that the neutralizing antibody response against the BA4/5 variant induced by the bivalent BA 4/5 boost versus the ancestral strain boost were essentially equivalent, namely, the BA4/5 bivalent boost was no better than the standard boost. Last night, I heard from Pfizer in a zoom call with Jha and all of HHS (Walensky, Murthy, Kessler and my team at NIH) that in their experiments there was a fourfold higher titer associated with the boost by the bivalent BA4/5 compared to the boost with the ancestral strain. Pfizer claims that their study was controlled whereas the studies by Ho and Barouch were not and the numbers were small. David Ho called me today and emphasized that the combination of numbers of his study and Barouch's study made them equivalent in size to the Pfizer numbers. In addition, he made the important point that there were some discrepancies in the data that were in the press release from Pfizer which did not contain all of the data that made them concerned about the Pfizer data. In addition, David suggested that it is in Peter Mark's interest to agree with Pfizer since Pfizer confirms what his decision was about the BA4/5 bivalent boost. I do not know whether this is David Ho concerned that his data are not holding up or whether he has a very good point that Pfizer is not being totally above board with the presentation of their data. I will have to try to figure this out by discussing it with a few other people. I have already discussed it with Cliff Lane and he thinks that both of those studies don't definitively show the answer since they both have weaknesses. Cliff recommends that the data undergo significant statistical analysis.

Nov. 5, 2022 I had an amazing evening at the Mohammed Ali Gala in Louisville Kentucky where I received the Mohammed Ali Humanitarian Award for Lifetime Achievement. Others who received similar rewards included Jose Andres and former NBA Rookie of the year. I had a wonderful tour of the Muhammad Ali Museum at the Muhammad Ali Center and I was introduced by Ali's wife Lonnie Ali. I also received a personal tour of the Louisville Slugger baseball bat factory and I was given a bat specifically named for me. And enjoyable time all around. Of note was the extraordinarily enthusiastic reception I received from the people at the Louisville airport and at the Gala event. I was totally mobbed for selfies. Interesting that this is Rand Paul's state (Kentucky) and I thought that I might not be well-received and I actually was totally met with love and admiration. Six other honorees were recognized at Saturday's ceremony for embodying Muhammad Ali's Six core principles: confidence, conviction, dedication, giving, respect and spirituality. Those honorees include: • Confidence Award winner Gitanjali Rao, a 17-year-old from Louisville was named Time Magazine's Kid of the Year for "inventions help to detect lead content in water, provide early diagnosis of prescription opioid addiction, and counter cyberbullying." • Conviction Award winner Lefteris Arapakis from Greece for his work fighting pollution in the Mediterranean Sea. Arapakis also heads up an organization, Enaleia, that teaches people how to clean plastic out of the sea. • Dedication Award winner Mohamad Al Jounde from Syria, has helped give 200 children access to education via the Gharsah School in Lebanon. • Giving Award winner Liam Elkind, a Yale student who co-founded Invisible Hands during the COVID-19 pandemic to help ensure at-risk community members have access to food and medical supplies. • Respect Award winner Malcolm Brogdon, the former NBA Rookie of the year, for his work in Tanzania with the Brogdon Family Foundation, which helps people access clean water and quality education. • Spirituality Award winner Lual Mayen from South Sudan for working for refugee and migrant rights. He also founded Junub Games, an organization that teaches the "importance of peace through video games."

Nov. 7, 2022 I had a very important meeting today in Jeff Zients' office where he arranged me to meet with Robert Bauer, former lawyer for President Obama and Dana Remus, lawyer for President Biden until July 2022 (4 months ago). Jeff wanted them to advise me about how I should handle my legal counsel for the upcoming oversight hearings that certainly will occur if the GOP take over the house and/or the Senate. It is clear that even with Pro bono considerations Connally whom Brett arrested: ct of Maryland » that this is going to cost me a lot of money since the GOP has promised that they would make my life miserable and blame me for virtually everything that happened bad to the country during the pandemic. Jeff has been an amazing friend to me and the next challenge would be to make sure that I have Secret Service protection after December 31st at which point HHS has stated that they have no responsibility or authority to protect me despite the multiple threats on my life. In addition, HHS will not provide me legal protection after I leave. Later in the day I took off for New York City to receive the Yitzhak Rabin lifetime medical Leadership Award given by American Friends of Rabin Medical Center at the Plaza Hotel. Before I got there it was somewhat of a harrowing experience since I was recognized walking from the Hilton Hotel on 6th Ave and 52nd St to the Plaza Hotel on 59th St and 5th Ave. I was beset by a horde of at least 20 paparazzi who followed me from 6th Ave to 5th Ave walking backwards surrounding me and flashing lights that blinded me. That has never happened to me before and is a full warning of what I'm going to have to expect. I absolutely must have security protection or I am going to be in deep trouble.
