Global USA The republican Party has gone completely crazy. See letter below where Congressmen are accusing me of collaborating with the Chinese Communist Party: Follow Up NIH Re. Emails 71521 (2).pdf There are a few things to point out. For example, tonight we had a meeting that we generally have prior to briefing the president . Tomorrow we will be briefing the president and tonight at 9:00 PM we had a zoom meeting with me, Rochelle, Jeff , and Natalie to go over the plans for how we were going to breathe the president tomorrow (Friday). We divided the responsibility between Rochelle and me. Also, we had another one of the unusual experiences with the United states Congress. A group of 20 Right Wing Republican Congressman wrote a letter to Francis Collins and me asking a number of ridiculous questions in an accusatory manner as they have been for the last several weeks. In fact, the letter was first sent to the right wing publication the Daily Caller who then called us up and asked us what our response to the letter was when we had not yet even received the letter. And so, it was quite obvious that they were doing it mostly as a publicity stunt. In any event, one of the most amazing parts of the letter was the part where they made the statement: “Doctor Fauci was working closely with the CCP (Chinese Communist Party)”. They gave a reference for that statement that was an email sent to me from George Gao on March 28th 2020. In fact, that email was George apologizing to me for seemingly contradicting me in an article in Science in which he said that the United States was making a mistake by not recommending that people universally wear a mask. He did not want that to be interpreted that he was criticizing me and he apologized. In addition, George was saying how concerned he was about the outbreak and that he was worried about me and hoped that I was doing well. I wrote back to him and said “Thank you for your kind note I hope that all is well with you.” If anyone can construe that exchange as my working closely with the Chinese Communist Party, they have to be out of their mind. For that reason, it is clear that these types of letters are nothing but a bunch of unmitigated bullshit.
