Went up to Philadelphia to see the White Coat Ceremony at the
University of Pennsylvania Medical School where my daughter Megan is beginning her
first year of medical school. Beautiful day and wonderful ceremony. We are so proud
of Megan and hope that she will be happy. I know that she will do well having
graduated summa cum laude from Columbia and then excelling in the Post-Bacc pre-med
year at Hopkins.

August 16-19, 2014 – Media blitz stopped, but the epidemic still rages. The West
African countries are instituting quarantines and border closings, which may slow down
the epidemic, but there is the beginning of a humanitarian crisis to get food, water and
supplies to the quarantined areas.

Tom Frieden and I are working out how we can reconcile the issue discussed above about
the balance of open access of vaccine following phase 1 versus the need to know by RCT
whether the vaccine actually works and whether it might actually do harm, as per the Ad5
HIV vaccine enhancement of HIV acquisition in a former clinical trial a couple of years
ago. The department was clearly concerned (Andrea Palm – chief-of-staff to Burwell-
pissed me off on a conference call by acting annoyed with Tom and me in our discussions
on the daily conference call) about the disagreement between Tom and me; however,
Tom and I are now trying hard to work it out behind the scenes.
