Major, major world publicity regarding patient                        who
had Extensively Drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) and traveled by plane to a number
of countries in Europe despite somewhat bungled instructions by Georgia (he is from
Atlanta) Health Officials and the CDC to not travel. The CDC looking real clumsy on
this and the media continue to go after Julie Gerberding (Director, CDC) about this and
other issues. I believe that she is being treated unfairly by the press and the Congress. In
any event, I appeared with Julie and a customs official (Speaker crossed the border from
Canada to New York after secretly flying from Prague to Montreal) at a Senate
Appropriations Committee Hearing (Tom Harkin, Chair) on the subject. I was there to
discuss the science of TB. Julie got slammed by the Committee and Speaker was on the
next panel and said that the CDC was lying. What a mess. I was on major media
appearances for the next week – Nightline, NBC News, 20/20 (about Heimlich and
malaria treatment for HIV), NPR Morning Edition, WTOP Radio, CNN American
Morning, etc)
