Cases 140,000 yesterday. It seems that my prediction of 200,000/day will come true
unfortunately.

We're having continual and difficult discussions concerning boosters. With my strong persuasion
we have now finally arrived to the reality that we must give an additional dose to
immunocompromised people as quickly as possible. The real issue that we are struggling with is
when how and to whom we should give boosters among the population in general. Clearly, we
want to stagger it so that we don't have rush to the gate. We're trying to get as much data as
possible to validate a decision to start giving it to the elderly at approximately 8 months
following their initial vaccination.

I continue to struggle with having to defend the CDC against reasonable concern about the fact
that they are generally behind the curve when it comes to accumulating data that would inform
proper public health action. He gets back to previous conversations that we had concerning the
entrenched culture at CDC who feel that they know best and they are not accountable to anyone.
Under non pandemic conditions this goes un-noticed. However, in the middle of an outbreak of
this proportion it is a glaring deficit.
