I met with Donald Trump for an intriguing three-hour dinner, along with his chief of staff and my manager. We discussed various topics, particularly global health, where I shared updates on our foundation's work towards an HIV cure and the potential for accelerated vaccine innovation similar to what was done during COVID. We also talked about polio eradication efforts, emphasizing the challenges in regions like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Gaza, and Africa. Trump showed a keen interest in how he could help achieve significant milestones in these areas over the next four years. I was impressed by his enthusiasm and willingness to engage with the issues I presented.

Tim Walz stated that the week was not normal, which he considered a good thing. He initially missed a call from the Vice President but later received and honored the call.

The speaker states they are watching "you guys" over a territory. The governor of Florida has been cooperative and said he's gotten all that he needs. The speaker spoke to the governor again yesterday, commending his work and offering their personal phone number. The speaker acknowledges a rough start in some places, but claims every governor from Florida to North Carolina has been fully cooperative, supportive, and acknowledges the team's work. The speaker concludes by saying they have a lot more to do.

Florida's pandemic response was a tremendous success. It was refreshing to be allowed to speak my scientific views in Florida during the pandemic. Pandemics are difficult and create uncertainty, but the root problem was the suppression of alternative ideas. I was personally censored by the Biden administration. Science needs free speech and tolerance for dissent to succeed. Florida provided an outlet for dissent, allowing the state government to adopt the best ideas. No state was perfect during the pandemic, but to do well, open communication is necessary, even when ideas are controversial.

The speaker frequently called the Secretary of Health and Human Services in Massachusetts, who worked for a Republican governor. The Secretary asked if they would allow professional football, and the speaker responded that they would not. The Secretary replied that neither would they. The speaker also had conversations about when Massachusetts would consider easing restrictions, with the state official suggesting "next Monday."

Governor DeSantis of Florida and Governor Noem of South Dakota stood out to me among politicians. Governor DeSantis reached out to me in April 2020, even before I was in Washington, and impressed me with his knowledge of data. He wanted to ensure he had the facts right. It was refreshing to see a politician who genuinely cared about understanding the data. While most of the United States implemented lockdowns, there were a few exceptions, including the states I advised, such as Florida and South Dakota. Governor DeSantis ended the lockdown in Florida early, and Governor Noem of South Dakota also took a different approach.

I'm so happy to welcome America's Governors to the White House. You're all amazing people, even some of you Democrats. We've actually worked very well together. I can only think of one or two instances where it didn't work out so well, but that's pretty normal. I want to welcome you and let you know that I'm here for you. Anything I can do to help, I'm available. We can accomplish a lot working together.

I advised the president to shut down the country, despite knowing it would have significant economic consequences. I did not recommend locking anything down, but rather made a difficult decision to protect public health.

When I was vice president, things were bad during the pandemic. Barack told me to go to Detroit to fix it. The mayor spent more time with me than he expected. God bless him.

During COVID, I was on the board of my kids' school and initially supported a strict lockdown policy. However, I now realize that keeping kids out of school for longer had a greater negative impact than the risks. We all operated with imperfect information, including myself, the CDC, and the governor. Let's learn from this and hold each other accountable while showing grace and forgiveness. Unfortunately, about 1 in 5 US adults are unwilling to get vaccinated, making them the global runner-up in vaccine hesitancy. This means roughly 56 million Americans are 11 times more likely to die from COVID than the rest of the population. It's embarrassing that some Americans are playing Russian roulette with their lives and the lives of others. Despite this, America's healthcare response to COVID has been a victory, thanks to the vaccines.

I spoke with a congressperson who mentioned getting Guillain Barre from a flu vaccine. When discussing vaccination, it's crucial to address concerns and focus on the benefits, data, and safety of the COVID vaccine. Listening to people's worries is essential.

We discussed masks and how one of us wore them extensively, even at home. Wearing masks shouldn't be a big inconvenience, as we ask people to wear pants. Initially, we didn't realize the full benefits of masks, thinking it was mainly about preventing coughing. The message about masks should be bipartisan, focusing on protecting others.
