Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 Remarks on Coronavirus
Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 Remarks on Coronavirus Vaccine Development November 13, 2020 The President. Thank you very much. Thank you. It's beautiful out here this time of year. In the past 9 months, my administration has initiated the single greatest mobilization in U.S. history, pioneering, developing, and manufacturing therapies and vaccines in record time. Numbers like nobody has seen before. No medical breakthrough of this scope and magnitude has ever been achieved this rapidly, this quickly. And we're very proud of it, and I had tremendous help from the military—generals, admirals—and many of the great people at the White House. Operation Warp Speed is unequaled and unrivaled anywhere in the world, and leaders of other countries have called me to congratulate us on what we've been able to do, and we've helped many countries with their ventilators and all of the problems they were having. And I'd like to congratulate everyone involved in this effort. It's been an incredible effort. As a result of Operation Warp Speed, Pfizer announced on Monday that its "China virus" vaccine is more than 90-percent effective. This far exceeds any and all expectations. Nobody thought they'd get to that level. And we have others coming which we think will be at equal level—maybe more, if that's possible. In July, my administration reached an agreement with Pfizer to provide $1.95 billion to support the mass manufacturing and distribution of 100 million doses, with the option to purchase a total of 600 million doses shortly thereafter. -
COVID-19 UPDATE November 23, 2020 Global Total Cases – 59,025,871 Total Deaths – 1,393,889
COVID-19 UPDATE November 23, 2020 Global Total cases – 59,025,871 Total deaths – 1,393,889 United States Total cases – 12,369,978 Total deaths – 257,415 On Wednesday, the United States surpassed 250,000 coronavirus deaths. The total number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in the United States has reached new highs every day since November 11, when hospitalizations first surpassed the April peak. One week before the end of the month, the United States has already recorded its highest monthly case total in November, reporting more than 3,075,000 cases. The number of November cases could exceed four million, more than double the total in October. Trump Administration • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged Americans against traveling for Thanksgiving and to limit gatherings to people in the same household as Covid-19 rages in the U.S. o “Celebrating virtually or with the people you live with is the safest choice this Thanksgiving,” the agency said on its website on Thursday. “Travel may increase your chance of getting and spreading COVID-19.” o For people considering traveling for the holiday, the agency offered a checklist of risks and standard advice such as wearing a face covering and staying 6 feet away from people “who don’t live with you.” People hosting Thanksgiving guests at home should observe precautions that could include having an outdoor meal with family and friends, have people bring their own food and drink, and opening windows if the gathering is indoors. • In a call last week, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield and Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar encouraged governors to help build confidence in vaccines and stressed the importance of wearing masks. -

So Many People Are Perplexed with the Covid-19 Lockdowns, Mask Requirements, Social Distancing, Loss of Jobs, Homes, and Their Very Sanity
So many people are perplexed with the Covid-19 lockdowns, mask requirements, social distancing, loss of jobs, homes, and their very sanity. What lies behind all of this? There have been so many conflicting reports that one has to ask the question, Is there even a pandemic at all? Was there ever one? Let’s have a look. ======================== Strange advance hints (predictive programming) – A 1993 Simpsons episode called “Marge in Chains” actually accurately predicted the coronavirus outbreak. One scene depicted a boardroom meeting between government officials and major media moguls. The chairman opened with these words: “I’d like to call to order this secret conclave of America’s media empires. We are here to come up with the next phony baloney crisis to put Americans back where they belong…” Suddenly a delegate from NBC chimed in: “Well I think…” Then the chairman interrupted him, saying: “NBC, you are here to listen and not speak!” He then said: “I think we should go with a good old fashioned health scare.” Everyone then nodded in approval. Next, a female delegate remarked: “A new disease–no one’s immune–it’s like The Summer of the Shark, except instead of the shark, it’s an epidemic.” – Another Simpsons episode called “A Totally Fun Thing that Bart will Never Do Again,” first aired on April 29, 2012, featured an emergency broadcast announcing the outbreak of the deadly “Pandora Virus,” and how it was “spreading rapidly.” The announcer then said: “This unprecedented threat requires a world-wide quarantine. All ships must remain at sea until further notice. -

Miller, Roger From: J & J Schroeder <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 06, 2020 5:07 PM To: Kesarwani, Rashi; Miller, Roger; T1 Cc: [email protected] Subject: Follow up question after 1600 block Curtis St. 3/5/20 meeting Hello Rashi, Roger and Andrew, Thank you very much for the time you gave us last night to discuss T1 Bond Phase 1 & 2 infrastructure improvement projects. You very patiently and attentively listened to our concerns, feedback and questions regarding the T1 Bond infrastructure improvement projects. I sincerely appreciate your diligence and efforts of outreach to the Berkeley community to make this T1 Phase 1 & 2 planning process transparent and accessible to the public for input. After speaking with my neighbors, we would like clarification regarding the email Director of Public Works Phil Harrington sent to Joan Hamilton and me on February 7, 2020. Mr. Harrington's email was in response to an email both Joan and I sent regarding the unsafe, degraded condition of the 1600 block of Curtis St. This is the email I sent 1/29/20: City of Berkeley Department of Public Works 2180 Milvia St. Berkeley, CA 94704 January 29, 2020 Department of Public Works Director Phil Harrington: I am here tonight to strongly urge the Department of Public Works to have the second phase of Measure T1 (infrastructure bond money) go towards paving more streets.

Officials Call on States to Expand Groups Getting COVID-19 Vaccines
Officials call on states to expand groups getting COVID-19 vaccines by Melissa Jenco, News Content Editor Editor's note:For the latest news on COVID-19, visit http://bit.ly/AAPNewsCOVID19. Federal health officials are releasing COVID-19 vaccine doses they had been withholding and are encouraging states to open vaccination to broader groups of people. "This next phase reflects the urgency of the situation we face," Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II, J.D., said Tuesday. "Every vaccine dose that is sitting in a warehouse rather than going into an arm could mean one more life lost or one more hospital bed occupied." Azar said states should start vaccinating everyone 65 years and older and people ages 16 or 18 to 64 (depending on the vaccine) who have documented underlying conditions. The recommendation is a change from the initial recommendations on priority groups made by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices last month. "We are telling states today they should open vaccination to all of their most vulnerable people," Azar said. "That is the most effective way to save lives now." Administration of vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna started in December among health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities, and roughly 9 million people have received at least one dose. However, that is significantly behind the 20 million officials predicted by the end of December. Azar blamed reporting lags and states micromanaging who could get a dose. He noted nearly 38 million doses, including 25 million first doses, have been distributed to states. -
Supreme Court of the United States
No. 15-____ IN THE Supreme Court of the United States IN RE: AVANDIA MARKETING, SALES PRACTICES & PRODUCTS LIABILITY LITIGATION: GLAXOSMITHKLINE LLC, Petitioner, v. ALLIED SERVICES DIVISION WELFARE FUND, UFCW LOCAL 1776 AND PARTICIPATING EMPLOYERS HEALTH AND WELFARE FUND, AND UNITED BENEFIT FUND, Respondents. On Petition For A Writ Of Certiorari To The United States Court of Appeals For the Third Circuit PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI Nina M. Gussack John H. Beisner Anthony C.H. Vale Counsel of Record Yvonne M. McKenzie Jessica D. Miller PEPPER HAMILTON LLP Geoffrey M. Wyatt 3000 Two Logan Square SKADDEN, ARPS, SLATE, Eighteenth & Arch Streets MEAGHER & FLOM LLP Philadelphia, PA 19103 1440 New York Ave., NW (215) 981-4000 Washington, DC 20005 (202) 371-7000 [email protected] Attorneys for Petitioner i QUESTIONS PRESENTED This case involves claims by third-party payors (“TPPs”) that they overpaid for Avandia, a prescrip- tion diabetes medication manufactured by petitioner, GlaxoSmithKline (“GSK”). The TPPs claim that GSK failed to disclose risk information, entitling them to recovery under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, even though they do not allege that Avandia was ineffective; that it injured any one of their plan participants; or that they stopped cover- ing it after learning about the drug’s alleged risks. The Third Circuit nevertheless held that the TPPs could plausibly allege that GSK’s representations had an “inflationary effect” on the drug’s price. In so ruling, the Third Circuit expressly declined to follow the Eleventh Circuit, which had previously rejected similar claims, and also departed from several other appellate decisions rejecting similar “fraud on the market” theories. -

Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 Remarks on Coronavirus
Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 Remarks on Coronavirus Vaccine Development and an Exchange With Reporters May 15, 2020 The President. Thank you very much. It's very hot today. Please, sit down. This is going to be a very hot one, and we apologize to everybody out there that's going to suffer through it. But you know what? It's better than bad weather. And it's great to be in the Rose Garden. I want to especially thank this group for joining us as we announce a historic, groundbreaking initiative in our ongoing effort to rapidly develop and manufacture a coronavirus vaccine. We're joined by Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Secretary Mark Esper, Secretary Alex Azar, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley, FDA Director Dr. Stephen Hahn, Director of the National Institute of Health Dr. Francis Collins, Dr. Fauci, Dr. Birx. We're joined by a very terrific group of professionals. Tomorrow will mark 30 days since we released the White House guidelines for a safe and phased opening of America. That's what we're doing. It's the opening of America. We're going to have an amazing year next year. We're going to have a great transition into the fourth quarter. As of this morning, almost every State has taken steps to begin reopening, and the American people are doing an extraordinary job of continuing to take precautions while, at the same time, wanting to start—and they will be starting—to resume their American way of life. We will be reigniting our economic engines. -
