No new money coming in. Just slashing all over the place. On a day like today, nothing to slosh into. Least today there is reeves market. Lets start with the drug stocks. Today they simply took your breath away. How can they fall from 101 down to 73 despite making on its hepatitis c . Despite having so many irons in the fire, how can regeneron, the more fabulous than we thought. I almost hesitate it answer this question because it touched on the third rail. There is a growing believe that republicans can lose the house and senate because of issues at the top of the ticket. If thats the case and we do get a democratic wave, then the democratic bite could be as bad controlling drug price. The market is screaming that it wont pay as much for drug stocks as it would before when it seemed like the Upcoming Elections would leave us with the divide in government because the uncertainty and consequences could be too great. Given that republicans will still be able to filibuster the senate even

Thought about todays hearing as it relates to cdc, it is this. With the recent incidents, we recognize the pattern at cdc where we need to greatly improve the culture of safety and i am overseeing sweeping measures to improve that culture of safety. Cdc works 24 7 and our scientists protect americans from threats, including naturally occurring threats like ebola and mers and drug resistant bacteria such as anthrax. But we must do that work more safely and we will. Theres a recap of the recent incidents that summarized in our report which has been completed and were just at the outset of our investigation of the influenza contamination.

I dont think we can ever guarantee zero risk for some of the things that are done that we can do everything humanly possible to get that risk as low as possible, but we have to ensure that the benefit is something thats reasonably likely to occur. Thank you. Thank you very much. With th
