SLAVITT Yes And I ░░░░░░░░ very much appreciate that ░░░░░░░░ comments and it s ░░░░░░░░ of the reasons why ░░░░░░░░ s so important people ░░░░░░░░ why does the FDA ░░░░░░░░ time to do their ░░░░░░░░ People also ask why ░░░░░░░░ you make such a ░░░░░░░░ of emphasizing the FDA ░░░░░░░░ independence and why do ░░░░░░░░ make such an important ░░░░░░░░ about emphasizing the transparency ░░░░░░░░ s because the science ░░░░░░░░ going to be where ░░░░░░░░ science is The results ░░░░░░░░ going to be where ░░░░░░░░ results are going to ░░░░░░░░ And the American public ░░░░░░░░ need to hear that ░░░░░░░░ And it s important ░░░░░░░░ they have great confidence ░░░░░░░░ what comes out of ░░░░░░░░ our independent scientific agencies ░░░░░░░░ we re going to ░░░░░░░░ on any judgment other ░░░░░░░░ what Dr Fauci has ░░░░░░░░ from these studies until ░░░░░░░░ hear from the FDA ░░░░░░░░ they will go through ░░░░░░░░ very rigorous process And ░░░░░░░░ that we will help ░░░░░░░░ the results to the ░░░░░░░░ So there s a ░░░░░░░░ question which I think ░░░░░░░░ for Dr Walensky which ░░░░░░░░ I believe commenting on ░░░░░░░░ and the uptick in ░░░░░░░░ and I think there ░░░░░░░░ part of the question ░░░░░░░░ you know what about ░░░░░░░░ vaccinated people that are ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ I saw down in ░░░░░░░░ didn t look like ░░░░░░░░ whole bunch of vaccinated ░░░░░░░░ but I could be ░░░░░░░░ But you want to ░░░░░░░░ that one WALENSKY Yeah ░░░░░░░░ know as we were ░░░░░░░░ before the CDC is ░░░░░░░░ on updated guidance for ░░░░░░░░ you can do if ░░░░░░░░ re vaccinated and that ░░░░░░░░ include travel I want ░░░░░░░░ sort of go back ░░░░░░░░ what Andy said and ░░░░░░░░ is much of the ░░░░░░░░ we know is the ░░░░░░░░ to people who are ░░░░░░░░ on spring break for ░░░░░░░░ most part people who ░░░░░░░░ on spring break or ░░░░░░░░ the demographic that we ░░░░░░░░ been focusing in on ░░░░░░░░ We re worried not ░░░░░░░░ for what happens when ░░░░░░░░ are on the airplane ░░░░░░░░ but what happens when ░░░░░░░░ travel That is they ░░░░░░░░ out and mix and ░░░░░░░░ s what people who ░░░░░░░░ not vaccinated We currently ░░░░░░░░ at a situation if ░░░░░░░░ look at our European ░░░░░░░░ we just don t ░░░░░░░░ to be at this ░░░░░░░░ uptick of cases again ░░░░░░░░ that is very possible ░░░░░░░░ that could happen We ░░░░░░░░ seen that We re ░░░░░░░░ the April when that ░░░░░░░░ to happen and that ░░░░░░░░ in uptick of cases ░░░░░░░░ and in deaths So ░░░░░░░░ re so close to ░░░░░░░░ so many more people ░░░░░░░░ I would just encourage ░░░░░░░░ and remind people now ░░░░░░░░ not the time to ░░░░░░░░ SLAVITT I think that ░░░░░░░░ a great way to ░░░░░░░░ this briefing.”
