  Remarks of Dr.

Tedros response:

WHO Director-General's remarks at the 148th
session of the Executive Board
21 January 2021

Thank you, my brother Tony, and welcome to the WHO Executive Board as head of delegation for the
United States of America.

Thank you, my friend, for your personal support for WHO over many years, and especially in the past
year.

We have benefited immensely from your participation as a member of our regular global health leaders
calls, since the start of the pandemic.

And thank you for your incredible leadership against the pandemic in the United States.

This is a good day for WHO, and a good day for global health.

I send my deep thanks and warm congratulations to President Biden and Vice President Harris, and to
the American people.

Terrific day! Briefed Biden and Harris in the State Dining Room of the White House.
Together with JZ, Natalie Quillian, Rochelle Walensky, Marcella Nunez-Smith. Really relaxed
and warm interchange with both Biden and Harris. Then, I went with Jen Psaki and did a press
briefing in the White House press room (first time in a long time). They really want me out
there and there is no pushback at all for my appearances. CNN went into major panel
discussions about the fact that Biden chose me as the first scientific press briefing.
PRESS: Did full press briefing in the White House press room.
