We had multiple zooms today (with HHS folks) that will culminate with a briefing of
secretary Becerra on the evolving situation of Ebola in Uganda. I brought up in the
premating the consistent difficulties that we have with WHO who always want to actually
design the protocols and then have organizations like NIH or CDC be the implementers of their
protocols. This arrogance lies fundamentally with Anna Maria Restropo who has clashed
frequently with Cliff Lane in prior Ebola situations dating back to 2014. We shall see how all of
this plays out. Currently, there are 30 confirmed cases of Ebola in Uganda and more than 20
probable cases. In the zoom meetings we discussed all of the things that we discussed in the past
when ebola struck West Africa and DRC. This has to do with the availability of testing, with the
issue of travel into the country of people who might be infected with ebola, as well as our role in
supplying vaccines testing and therapies in the form of monoclonal antibodies and other drugs to
the Ugandans. More to come. Becerra backs my concern about the WHO trying to dictate the
design of clinical trials. I referred to Anna Maria Restropo without mentioning her name.
Becerra gets it.
