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.
