Global – 15,800,000/640,000;     USA – 4,200,000/147,000

Today is launching of Phase 3 trial of Moderna mRNA-1273. First patient received
the vaccine in Savannah Georgia at 6:45 AM. Fastest ever in the USA from sequence to
phase 1 and fro sequence to now phase 3

We had in Building 1 a virtual press conference at 10:00 AM with me, Francis Collins,
Matt Hepburn, and Stefan Bancel announcing the start of the Phase 1 trial.

Met with the POTUS in the Oval Office today briefing him (with Azar, Collins, Gen.
Perna, Moncef, Jared Kushner) about therapeutics and vaccines. He was typical stream

of consciousness and rambling on. It is clear he wants therapeutics quickly. He
accepted that the vaccine might not be ready before the election, but he was not happy
about it. He kept pushing about when therapy would be ready. Francis and I were
surprised when some of the WH staff sitting behind us told him that the convalescent
plasma data looked real good and we would have definitive results tomorrow. Had no
idea what they were talking about since we know that the plasma data are a mess and we
are bringing in statisticians (independent) to look at the data.

The baseball card of my opening day pitch by Todd has broken the all time record for
sales with 51,512 print sales in just 24 hours. Craziness continues.

Threats against me are increasing greatly and so George Adams and my “modified”
security detail is back
