I led USAID's operation for the 2014-15 outbreak in West Africa.
Also went to Congo with WHO to assess response at peak of the 2019 outbreak (under Trump 1).
Those were both robust USG ops.
That capacity has now been wrecked.

Bhattacharya’s answer was winding and included a defense of vaccines. He said he personally didn’t believe they were the cause of autism, but he didn’t know so it was important to have that be a hypothesis.
He also suggested he might not give his kid every vaccine on the schedule.

3/ The Kremlin’s stated intent of seizing more of UKR land and people directly contradicts US and European efforts to achieve a sustainable and lasting peace in Ukraine and reinforces RU's cont'd efforts to illegally occupy UKR territory rather than to negotiate in good faith or offer concessions.

Updating: Calin Georgescu has been indicted on 6 serious charges. His phone was tapped so Romania authorities have plenty of evidence against him, especially their calls to the Russian ambassador for help, furthermore his extremist paramilitary unit is linked to Wagner and Chechnya’s Ramzan Kadyrov.

Heavy assault weapons were also found on Georgescu’s property and possession. Including silencers, grenades, and grenade launchers. Romanian authorities raided them so quickly they had no time to react.
