## Resource

Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield joins Dr. Drew to answer the question everyone wants to know: what happens to Dr. Fauci now? Newly released emails show in May 2021, then-acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock wrote to Fauci and NIH Director Francis Collins about reports she was getting from healthcare professionals whose patients described adverse reactions after a COVID vaccine, and told them a problem left to fester “will come back to bite you later.” The study she asked for was never done. Redfield, who served on the White House Coronavirus Task Force and the Operation Warp Speed board, also reacts to the FDA’s August 27 approval of Pfizer’s XFG-adapted COVID shot. Then emergency physician Dr. Joseph Fraiman, lead author of a re-analysis of serious harms in the mRNA vaccine trials, walks through the REMAP-CAP randomized trial of oseltamivir, sold as Tamiflu. A damning new report shows that recruitment was stopped after 19.4% of critically ill influenza patients treated with the drug had died by day 90, compared with 13.7% of those given no antiviral. The authors conclude the drug is ineffective – and actually appears likely to increase the 90-day death rate in these patients. Dr. Robert Redfield is a virologist, infectious disease expert, and former CDC Director. He served on the White House Coronavirus Task Force and Operation Warp Speed board, co-founded the University of Maryland’s Institute of Human Virology, and was Chief of Infectious Diseases at UMD School of Medicine. He advised President Bush on HIV/AIDS and Governor Hogan on public health, and now practices at GBMC Health Partners.
