MSNBC wants me this AM. Return of the “problem”. CDC
complaining to HHS that I am on TV for MERS-CoV even though the producers are specifically asking for me. They do not want me talking about “their issue”. Amazing!! Typical situation where HHS says no to me, MSNBC cannot contact CDC and arrange in time and so now nobody from HHS is on TV and the slot goes to a health official from Illinois. The communications people from HHS are truly idiots to listen to CDC and back them. Courtney Billet blows HHS (Bill Hall, Sye Tait, Ira ?) away with several emails telling them how ridiculous this approach is. CDC is totally paranoid. I really wonder if Tom Frieden knows about this or if it is just the Communications people.
Also did AP TV today for wide distribution to networks.
Also, White House very interested in Antimicrobial Resistance and they are putting
together a White paper through NSS, PCAST, OSTP. We are obviously playing role in
its being drawn up
