All with one goal: better protecting the American people On a personal note For a poor immigrant kid from India The privilege to work for this President on behalf of the American people has been just extraordinary I am so deeply grateful Signing off from this account

And of course, there is other work that continues Work on Long COVID, fighting bad information, rebuilding our battered healthcare and public health systems Making sure the uninsured continue to have access And building the next generation of vaccines and treatments 6/n

We have a terrific national wastewater surveillance system that’ll allow us to detect surges and variants early In my current role, I’ve worried less about predicting and more about preparing And we are much better prepared 5/n

We don’t know what the summer or winter will bring Hopefully not much But if the virus takes a turn for the worse We are prepared We have a large stockpile of vaccines, tests, treatments, gloves, gowns, and masks And.... 4/n

Most deaths today are in people who are: 1. Not up to date on their vaccines 2. Didn't get treated during their infection Often both Deaths among people who are up to date and get treatment is exceedingly rare And vaccines and treatments remain free and widely available 3/n

Amna asked if we should learn to live with 100 deaths/day No. Its still too high Annualized, today’s death rate means 36,000 deaths/year from COVID And yes, most of those really are deaths as a complication of COVID But here’s the thing Most deaths now are preventable 2/n

It was a pleasure speaking to @IAmAmnaNawaz on @pbsnewshour An “exit” interview of sorts as I finish my term at the White House So where are we with COVID? We are down to about 100 deaths per day Among the lowest in the pandemic. That’s good But 🧵 https://t.co/jZWfw1dvFl

The President made a commitment to protect the American people from. That commitment continues. I am deeply grateful to the President for this opportunity to serve End

We have tests, vaccines and treatments now widely available to the American people to help manage the virus We built up our surveillance systems and our stockpiles and are better prepared for the future The Public Health Emergency is over but COVID isn’t. The work continues 2/

So, as they say, some news. It has been the honor of my life to serve the American people and this President in our fight against COVID. We have some of the lowest rates of hospitalizations and deaths since COVID first appeared.

It’s been an honor to partner with @AshishKJha46 this past year. Under his leadership, COVID-19 no longer controls our lives, and we've been able to transition out of the emergency phase of the response. I look forward to learning of his next game-changing endeavors.
