in any post where I said I am not receiving money, I had not been receiving money at that time.

I'm happy to look at whatever documentation you're talking about, but I do not.

This is it's incorrect and it's a false representation.

And just to be very clear, I've spent the last several months working with the Office of Government Ethics to be fully compliant with this process.

I take it very seriously.

I just want to repeat, I've worked with the Office of Government Ethics.

I'm not going to be taking any financial compensation.

We're talking about conflicts.

And I have been clear.

But we're not talking about that by the Office of Government Ethics through an exhaustive process.

I've signed a letter that I will be fully compliant.

This is before, during, and after the term.

I take it very seriously, and I'll work closely with them to make sure there are no conflicts.

Thank you so much, Senator Collins.

And I also thank you sincerely for engaging so deeply with my work and learning about me.

This is a very important question and

I would start by just saying that I believe what I would say as a private citizen is in many cases different than what I would say as a public health official.

Joining a team where the purpose of this role is to communicate absolutely the best evidence-based science to the American people to keep- Now remember what she's saying, communicating the best evidence-based science.

We're gonna get back to them.

Safe, thriving and healthy.
