'al are still either "should" or "may" be vaccinated with the booster shot. I clarified unambiguously on TV that we should not let that confuse us and that everybody should go ahead and get a booster shot if they have had get full vaccination. I also made it very clear that although the cases very well may surge in the upcoming cold months that the people who are vaccinated and preferably boosted can enjoy a comfortable safe holiday with their family indoors without wearing masks. I was very explicit about that because every time I even hint that people need to be careful over the holidays the far right radical idiots take things out of context and have a field day. There is some buzz around regarding the Justice Department moving against not only Steve Bannon , but also Mark Meadows, and Peter Navarro. The reason for the subpoenas or that they refuse to abide by the house subpoena to appear before the committee. Peter Navarro continues to claim that I am responsible for causing the death of over 4 million people worldwide because I created COVID-19 More and more papers are appearing in the medical literature making it very clear that the outbreak was almost certainly a natural occurrence and not a lab leak. The most recent paper was one by Michael Worobey that appeared in Science 3 days ago: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abm4454 Also, commentaries by Eddie Holmes (Australia) and others are nailing down the natural origins story. Yet, the 3 stooges (Richard Ebright, David Relman, and Jesse Bloom) are still pushing the lab-leak hypothesis literally based on absolutely no solid evidence, but only conjecture Nov. 21, 2021 - Global USA Mike Osterholm and Eric Topol wrote an editorial in the New York Times sharply criticizing the CDC and the ACIP for not giving a clear message that everyone over 18 years old should get a boost. This is something that I have also felt strongly about in that the ACIP is being very rigid and overly careful and give a confusing message of who "should" get vaccinated versus "who" may get vaccinated. Mike called me up after that and told me that Rochelle called him and was very pissed off at him for writing the editorial; however, as much as I love her, Mike and Eric were correct. The editorial got Jeff concerned since it did point out the reality of the problem with the CDC, but it also reflects poorly on the federal government responds . Jeff was extremely pleased as was Ben Wakana about the strong response that I gave on the TV shows today ; however, Jeff wanted me to call Mike and ask him to tone down the criticism since it reflects badly on the USG response. I gave Mike a call and we discussed the situation and ne promised to make sure going forward that he separates the CDC response from the total government and Tony Fauci response. I don't know what I can do to get the CDC and particularly Rochelle to move away from that overly careful, slow, rigid approach that the CDC and the ACIP had been taking for so long; it leads to nothing but confusion. On the Sunday shows today I was very clear that we should not worry about "should" or "may" and that
