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.

Nov. 25, 2022 I am receiving so many wonderful warm and affectionate notes from people on the occasion of my stepping down. One among many typical notes came from Beth Cameron of the NSC. Beth texted the following note to me late last night associated with the prior note wishing me a happy Thanksgiving: "Be well. And thank you so very much. I very much hope to continue to learn from you in your future roles, and I also hope you are able to get a little bit of time to rest (though that may not be in your DNA!) All the very best. I stand in awe of not just what you have done but how you have done it and with the humanity with which you have done it." BQ.1 and BQ.1.1 still creeping up. Noe appearance of XBB:

Nov. 27, 2022 (Sunday) I received a call yesterday from Dori Solcido and a similar call last night from Ashish Jha telling me that Ron Klain was upset mostly at Ashish for indicating in interviews that we could expect a mild winter. Ron was concerned that we should not be in the business of predicting lack of severity of COVID for this winter because if we have a bad winter with COVID then confidence in the government would diminish. Ron has a point there, but I'm not sure exactly what Ashish said. According to Dori, the New York Times made it look like Ashish was saying that we don't need to worry very much over the coming winter. I know as a fact that that is not what he said but he is a bit in the doghouse now with Ron because of that. This just ici on Covid lab goes to show you that no matter what administration you're in there is a great deal of sensitivity about messaging. Sunday shows went very well. Chuck, Margaret and Jonathan were very kind to me. Flurry of activity in the press following my apearances.

We (Cliff, Gray Handley and I) brought up some of the landmines that might arise in such an accord regarding conditions placed on receiving reagents.

Nov. 29, 2022 Marty Hirsch and David Hooper from Mass General did a very nice thing and Thanked me via Journal of Infectious Diseases and put my photo on the cover: The Journal al aim infectious mm [Diseases Ta. = ' I Volume 226, Issué 11 1 December 2022 I had an enjoyable "fireside chat" at the White House Jackson St facility in which I had lunch with the White House Fellows. I enjoy this very much and have done this several times over the past few years. They are an outstanding group of about a dozen individuals from various walks of life many of which have served in the military including in the special forces; practicing physicians; lawyers, among others. I enjoy speaking with them because they are the cream of the crop and give me hope for our nation particularly in the context of the incredible divisiveness and disregard for the truth and integrity that we are seeing now in our nation.

Nov. 30, 2022 I'm sure she will do fine, but this has completely destroyed one of the most intensive social commitments that we have over the next few days. celebrating World AIDS Day: . In addition, I will have to modify my visit tonight to the home of the Italian ambassador (Mariangela Zappia) who invited people from all over the country including California to come to the ambassador's home for a celebratory dinner in my honor. I went there tonight and did a fireside chat with a mask on with a well known Italian author Antonio Monda, and then left before the dinner since I did not want to take my mask off. I will also have to Mr planned dinner with Bob Seder and Jeff Zients and families on Saturday.

Dec. 2, 2022 I am really being somewhat embarrassed by the amount of honors that are be given to me and kudos my way. For example, today we went to the Hay-Adams hotel for a ceremony commemorating PEPFAR and world aids day. The ceremony involved multiple speeches including a speech by secretary of state Tony Blinken in which he effusely praised me for my role as an architect of pepfar as well as for decades of my contribution to HIV aids research and research in general. In addition, we had a fireside chat led by Sandy Thurman between John Kkengasong and myself. The entire ceremony at the hay Adams included multiple crazy by several people on me. As I said it was somewhat embarrassing since I do not like that kind of attention. Story in Today's SF Chronicle celebrating World AIDS Day: "When the history of AIDS in 1989 is written, the transformation of Anthony Fauci may well emerge as one of the most dramatic -- and consequential -- of human interest stories," Shilts wrote for The Chronicle that year. and throughout the world.
