  • what has been your experience with this new team and in your view, what would have been different in terms of the trajectory of this outbreak for the start, had a team like this been in place at the beginning?

  • Well, I can tell you my impression of what's going on right now.

  • The team.

  • I don't know if I can extrapolate other things, but one of the things that was very clear as recently as about 15 minutes ago when I was with the president is that one of the things that we're gonna do is to be completely transparent, open and honest.

  • If things go wrong, not point fingers, but to correct them and to make everything we do be based on science and evidence.

  • I mean, that was literally a conversation I had 15 minutes ago with the president, and he has said that multiple times you looking back on your comments of the last 12 months would like to now with that sort of licensed Thio, Amanda or clarify.

  • No, I mean, I always said everything on the base.

  • That's why I got in trouble sometimes.

  • Right?

  • Uh, you know, one of the new things in this administration's if you don't know the answer.

  • Don't guess.

  • Just say you don't know the answer.

  • Yeah, I mean, I mean, obviously, I don't wanna be going back, you know, over history.

  • But it was very clear that there were things that were said, be it regarding things like hydroxy Clara Quinn and other things like that, that really was an uncomfortable because they were not based on scientific fact.

  • I can tell you, I take no pleasure at all in being in a situation of contradicting the president.

  • So it was really something that you didn't feel, that you could actually say something, and there wouldn't be any repercussions about it.

  • The idea that you could get up here and talk about what?

  • You know what, the evidence, what the science is and no, that's it.

  • Let the science speak.

  • It is somewhat of a liberating field.

  • Basically vanished for for a few months there for a while.

  • You feel like you're back now?

  • E think so?
