Anthony S. Faucidiary entry
Over the past few months and more intensively over the past several weeks there has been considerable discussion between Peter Staley, James Krellenstein, and David Barr and Jeff Zients, David Kessler and me concerning the activists’ desire to get the federal government to pre-emptively increase the capacity of companies, particularly moderna, to make more vaccines for low and lower middle income countries. the activists want us to invoke the defense production act (DPA) to force moderna to allow Lonza to increase their capacity for vaccine production for LMICS. below is just one of a series of emails reflecting the frustration on the part of Peter and colleagues with our inability to do that right now . What they do not completely understand is the complexity of the issues involved , although their ultimate goal as is mine is laudatory namely equity for vaccines for the rest of the world . See below emails : From: Kessler, David (HHS/IOS) <David.Kessler@hhs.gov> Sent: Monday, October 11, 2021 1:04 PM To: Konyndyk, Jeremy (USAID.GOV) <jkonyndyk@usaid.gov>; Fauci, Anthony (NIH/NIAID) [E] <afauci@niaid.nih.gov>; natalie.h.quillian (eop.gov) <natalie.h.quillian@who.eop.gov>; Jeffrey.D.Zients@who.eop.gov Subject: Fwd: Moderna, Racing for Profits, Keeps Covid Vaccine Out of Reach of Poor Jeremey How should I respond to Peter. Seems like the discrepancy between what Covax and the activists are saying is a key issue. ThAnks D Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message:

James should know what COVAX is saying. From our view, if you don’t count the badly underperforming vaccines, then we’ll need about 4 billion doses more than currently promised. And buying doses still matters, especially since we waited this long to look at manufacturing. I know you got burned with Emergent, but J&J should be back in the mix at this point.

What do you understand Covax to be saying the gap is? d From: Peter Staley <peterstaley@verizon.net> Sent: Monday, October 11, 2021 7:55 AM To: Kessler, David (HHS/IOS) <David.Kessler@hhs.gov>; Fauci, Anthony (NIH/NIAID) [E] <afauci@niaid.nih.gov>; James Krellenstein <james@prep4all.org>; Jeffrey.D.Zients@who.eop.gov Subject: Re: Moderna, Racing for Profits, Keeps Covid Vaccine Out of Reach of Poor Adding Jeff. If you all had used the DPA to setup a GoCo factory with Lonza back in February, we’d be delivering millions of doses of NIAID’s vaccine to low income countries right now. Instead, you still won’t talk directly to Lonza (even though their CEO has told us he’s ready to talk to you) because you fear offending Moderna. Jeff, David, Tony—let me be frank. You all need to grow a pair. James will be sending an email soon suggesting we hash all of this out over good food and wine in DC soon. I hope you’re all up for it.
