[And PS, Caputo's title isn't "assistant secretary of health," as he claimed - that's Giroir's job. It's "assistant secretary for public affairs." So he also gave himself a promotion on that radio show, along with bashing #CDC]

H/T @christymaginn for the link to the radio program Caputo was on after he took his leave of absence & says he "believes everything" he said about #CDC & will "stand by it" & says Trump "stands by" what Caputo said.
Then he claims Anthony Fauci is his doctor.
Why is #NIAID Director Anthony Fauci, an infectious diseases expert, treating Caputo for what he said was a lump on his neck & says he was seen at the National Cancer Institute?
Caputo bragged about the access to medical facilities he has in his position at #HHS.
.@WHCOVIDResponse briefing coming up at 10:30amET with someone different today: #HHS@SecBecerra, who's joining @CDCDirector Walensky, #NIH Fauci, Jeff Zients to discuss a roadmap to enable US to move forward safely & sustain/build on progress #COVID19😷
"Throughout our history we’ve learned this lesson – when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos. They keep moving. And, the costs & threats to America & the world keep rising.
"#Putin’s war was premeditated & unprovoked. He rejected efforts at diplomacy. He thought the West & @NATO wouldn’t respond. And, he thought he could divide us here at home.
Putin was wrong. We were ready."
.@VP@KamalaHarris: For the last year we've had people in positions of incredible power scapegoating Asian-Americans. People with the biggest pulpits spreading this kind of hate.
.@VP@KamalaHarris: A harm against any one of us is a harm against all of us.
The president and I will not be silent. We will not stand by. We will always speak out against violence, hate crimes & discrimination, wherever and whenever it occurs.
