Max Cooper gave WALS Lecture at NIH. Went to dinner with him and Chris last night at Cesco Osteria on Woodmont Avenue in Bethesda. Still great press interest in the Measles situation now that Presidential hopefuls Chris Christie, Rand Paul and others have commented on it. Rand Paul put his foot in his mouth by saying that there are reports of children who walk and talk normally before MMR and then immediately after, they can no longer walk, talk, and are autistic. Good experience on Rachel Maddow Show last night. We stuck to the science and did not get involved with the politics, although she dumped all over Christie and Paul. Ran into Gov. Howard Dean in the NBC Green Room and he was very critical of Paul. Did Geraldo Rivera Radio Show today and Jose Diaz Belart on MSNBC. The Sunday Shows want me on several times. Let us see if HHS allows it vis-a-via prior discussions. ISIS burns alive and shows the video on the internet a Jordanian jet fighter pilot shot down over Syria. The Jordanians are outraged and execute Al-Qaeda prisoners in retaliation. Big news
