Global USA Mike Osterholm and Eric Topol wrote an editorial in the New York Times sharply criticizing the CDC and the ACIP for not giving a clear message that everyone over 18 years old should get a boost. This is something that I have also felt strongly about in that the ACIP is being very rigid and overly careful and give a confusing message of who “should” get vaccinated versus “who” may get vaccinated. Mike called me up after that and told me that Rochelle called him and was very pissed off at him for writing the editorial; however, as much as I love her, Mike and Eric were correct. The editorial got Jeff concerned since it did point out the reality of the problem with the CDC, but it also reflects poorly on the federal government responds . Jeff was extremely pleased as was Ben Wakana about the strong response that I gave on the TV shows today ; however, Jeff wanted me to call Mike and ask him to tone down the criticism since it reflects badly on the USG response. I gave Mike a call and we discussed the situation and ne promised to make sure going forward that he separates the CDC response from the total government and Tony Fauci response. I don't know what I can do to get the CDC and particularly Rochelle to move away from that overly careful, slow, rigid approach that the CDC and the ACIP had been taking for so long; it leads to nothing but confusion. On the Sunday shows today I was very clear that we should not worry about “should” or “may” and that everybody who is 18 years of age or older whose been vaccinated absolutely should get a booster. Another example of the real problem we have with the CDC and its current mindset. I should make sure that I spend considerable time on this in the book.
