Tony's Diary Package — page 1129

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. PRESS: Wall Street Journal podcast with Kate Lindbaugh; Univision TV with Jorge Ramos; Bloomberg interview (Exit) Dec. 1, 2022 Had a really nice Town Hall meeting with FDA led by Rob Califf asking me questions. PRESS: MedPage interview about my NEJM piece; L'Espresso Italian Magazine Exit Interview; Washington Post Live with Yasmeen Abutaleb; WUSA TV (Local) 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.
