Nov. 16, 2022 photojournalist Wolfgang re Terrific event last evening. I was honored at the home of the French Ambassador to the United States (2221 Kalorama Road, NW) where I received the Pasteur Medal commemorating the bicentenary of Louis Pasteur's birth in 1822. Only a dozen medals are given this year being awarded to leading scientists, benefactors, philanthropists, and representatives of several countries. The stock of metals will be exhausted by the end of 2022 and no other metals will be minted. It was very much of a love fest with a very nice presentation of the metal to me by doctor Stewart Cole who is the Director of the Pasteur. Ambassador Philippe Etienne was very gracious and a very nice person. They sang my praises and we had a very elegant dinner. Very rainy and cold night. Janet Tobias was there.

Anthony S. Fauci
Nov. 19, 2022 Rochelle called me up this morning and arranged for a zoom at 10:30 AM to discuss her side of the story of why she wants to simplify the boosting regimen for children less than five and six years old for the Moderna and Pfizer boost. There is a tension between her/CDC and Peter Marks and Larry Horowitz (FDA) regarding whether or not the younger children should all get the bivalent boost or have them finish their primary regimens with the ancestral strain vaccine. Peter and Larry had both called me up previously (couple of nights ago) making it look like the CDC was holding back on wanting to give the most updated boost to the children. Yet, when Rochelle explained this to me this morning it became clear that it is a much more complicated situation than Peter and Larry described to me by phone a couple of nights ago. Ultimately, in January all children of all ages will get a unified vaccine either for the primary series or the boost and that will be the bivalent BA.4/5. Rochelle explained that to insert that bivalent boost into the already complicated regimen for the small fraction of children who have started on their primary series would create an enormous amount of confusion for pediatricians. I tend to side now with Rochelle even though when Peter and Larry explained that in the simplified form it seemed that they were making sense. However, according to Rochelle's explanation I believe she is correct. We will all sort this out on a zoom call with HHS tomorrow (Sunday) evening.

It involved: me, Rochelle, Robbie Goldstein, Peter Marks, Rob Califf, Dawn O'Connell, Vivek Murthy, Larry Tabak, among others. We all agreed that this was a close call and both sides have a good point. The important issues is that this involved only about 5% of the eligible children since the other 95% have not yet received their primary vaccination and those are truly the vulnerable ones if we get a winter surge. At the end of January, 2023, the VRPAC will meet to recommend that going forward all vaccinations (primary series and boosters) will be the BA.4/5 bivalent and so this will be a moot point. The question still remains unsettled as to give the children the best boost now even though it logistically will be difficult for the pediatricians since they will have multiple (11) different products in their offices from Moderna + Pfizer) or wait until we have a uniform boost for everyone at the end of January. No firm decision was made. FDA will try to push the date for VRPAC closer to close the gap.

Nov. 21, 2022 Presentation by the Shionogi (Takeki Uehara) Phase 3 data. The drug is an anti-viral similar to Paxlovid. The data were not particularly impressive since the study was done on people with very few symptoms and all the drug did was diminished by 24 to at the most 48 hours the duration of the symptoms. The study was not designed to determine whether or not the drug prevents the need for hospitalization than people with a high risk of severe outcome. All in ic. It was all I was not impressed with the data because they were looking at the wrong population of patients.

Nov. 22, 2022 I addressed the UK Parliament today on lessons learned from the COVID pandemic. It was followed by a very productive and insightful question period from the members of parliament Lawsuit by officials from Louisiana and Missouri have ruled that several government officials including me, Jen Psaki, Vivek Murthy among others must undergo a deposition since we are charged with trying to influence his social media to suppress the free speech of a number of people including those involved with the Great Barrington Declaration. It is a colossal waste of time since there is absolutely nothing there and the prep for the deposition would be about 8 hours over three days and the deposition itself which I will do tomorrow will be 7 full hours on the clock. This is total harassment. We tried to get the deposition stopped, but a Louisiana judge ordered that we have to do it. Just yesterday another judge overturned the first judge and the beck murthy does not have to be deposed, but I still have to be. ***Extraordinary press briefing in the White House Press Room today. Today was an historic day for me in that the White House comms team led by Karine Jean-Pierre and Kevin Munoz arranged for me to be part of the press briefing from the White House briefing room podium. it turned out to be a celebration of my nearly 40 years getting briefings at the White House. The moving part about it was that both Karine and Kevin were brought to tears when they said goodbye to me after the briefing. In addition, all of the press room personnel wanted selfies with me before I left. In addition, the briefing room was packed with media people who are there to hear the latest update on COVID but they directed most of their questions to me related to my retirement, my legacy, and other things that had direct relation to me.

Nov. 23, 2022 I had my 7 hour (on the clock) deposition by lawyers for the Missouri Vs Biden plaintiffs. It showed up as spectators as the plaintiff's lawyer John Sauer questioned me for seven hours. I had been well prepared for the previous few days by the DoJ lawyers including Adam Kirschner and Josh Gardner as well as Amanda Chuzi Anant Humar, Brian Netter and HHS council Chris Hammond. Although this was supposed to be on the topic of the Biden administration including me interfering with free speech by influencing the social media platforms to not allow opinions differing from our own to be put on social media, very many of the questions were directed at things unrelated to that including the origins of COVID, the Wuhan grant, Peter Daszak, my position on masking, and a variety of other issues that the Congress has been concerned about. I must say I did extraordinarily well and the DOJ lawyers said that that was one of the best performances and the deposition that they have ever seen.
