This is what brings us here today. So I think it’s a very strong argument for safety, actually. Over the last few weeks, we have made available more than 25 million doses of Pfizer and Moderna each and every week. So I think the message got out very clearly and quickly. MR. ZIENTS:  I have no personnel announcement to make today. Q    Thanks. This is historical material “frozen in time”. And we — while they were difficult and while we expect this to be long, we expect and — we have not been alerted of any change in planned attendance in the meetings that will resume later this week. This is obviously ongoing, and we will venture to provide you regular updates so you have a sense of what’s happening. And as I said, today we announced 28 million more Moderna and Pfizer doses are available to be ordered this week. The U.S. has repeatedly called on Russia to deescalate tensions at the Ukrainian border. The Massachusetts Department of Revenue (DOR) is extending the 2020 state individual income tax filing and payment due date from April 15 to May 17, 2021. I expect we’ll have more to say soon. MS. PSAKI:  It’s a great question. I know Alex was asking a similar one. MS. PSAKI:  Well, I would say, when it comes to diplomacy, you don’t stop calling for what it — what are the right actions and the appropriate actions and the actions the global community believes are right just because you see a hesitation in taking those actions. Q    Just a few about the vaccine and one on Iran, if I can. In the evening, the President will deliver his farewell address to the American people, where he will thank his supporters, celebrate the ways we have changed this country for the better these past eight years, and offer his vision on where we all go from here. We noticed that the director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement was not included in the tranche that was announced yesterday that included CBP and USCIS. Q    Thanks, Jen. MS. PSAKI:  Well, let me say, Phil — as you know, you’ve been covering it quite closely — we’ve been at war with this virus for over a year now, and Governor Whitmer has been in charge of a state that has been incredibly hard hit by COVID for that period of time. And second one for Jeff, if you don’t mind. You mentioned President Biden has been consistent. The President has always said that this is a wartime effort. DR. FAUCI:  You know, I think it would be premature to comment on that. This approval will help ensure access to vital health care services, promote better health outcomes, and reduce the rate of maternal morbidity and mortality. DR. FAUCI:  I think, you know, when you examine everything in general, the fact that you’ve — have, you know, 120 million doses — individuals have received at least one dose, and as you subtract, out of that 121 million, 6.85 [million], you’re talking about, you know, 114-or-so million individuals have received at least one dose and no negative red fails [sic] — red flag signals, that tells you you’re dealing with a really safe vaccine. So we have plenty of supply to continue our vaccination program and to hit our goals. I’m happy to do that, or directly to your colleague, I should say. If they find some common denominators among the women who were involved that might be synergizing and, essentially, enabling this type of an adverse event, they may know that for those who don’t have that it may be much safer. So that was fortunate that that was at 11:00 a.m. MS. PSAKI:  Well, a big part of our effort — and I appreciate you asking this question — is to create, in part, a Community Corps, which is a program that gets fact-based messages into the hands of local messengers. Also, when individuals, particularly younger women, who might come into a physician with a particular thrombotic phenomenon — which is things that happen for other reasons all the time — that we want to alert physicians to take a history of a recent vaccination. WATKINS GLEN, NY (WETM) – The deadline for police agencies to submit their reform plans to the state is tomorrow. Call Time 2:15PM – Virginia Gate, Joint Base Andrews, The President arrives in Chicago, Illinois, Chicago O’Hare International Airport Q    (Inaudible) a question from my colleague. MS. PSAKI:  Oh, I’m sorry. So why wasn’t that person included in that tranche? And we’re actually already seeing this happen today at sites across the country where J&J appointments are being adjusted, that were for today, to actually get Moderna and Pfizer today. Just to be very clear, you expect to — you expect the indirect negotiations to continue, even though you’re questioning their seriousness to those negotiations. We certainly understand that there could be changes to proposals that have been forward — put forward to date. The FDA, acting the way they did today, shows that they are indeed the gold standard. Q    And just on China, with the climate summit coming up: I mean, do you see opportunities to sort of rebuild the relationship or to sort of address the tensions in the — longstanding tensions in the relationship with China — over the climate summit — to sort of use that as an opportunity to move forward? Now, fundamentally, he does not believe that paying for this historic investment in rebuilding our nation’s infrastructure and creating millions of jobs should be on the backs of Americans. MS. PSAKI:  Well, Secretary Blinken and Secretary Austin are both in Brussels now. And that’s the reason why the pause was done, so that they can take a good look at it very carefully, look at every different factor. And while he has certainly been a vocal advocate in his support for the Equality Act, he — and, obviously, as you know and noted, it passed the House; it needs to work its way through the Senate. MS. PSAKI:  He does. Republicans are already talking as though the announcement has happened of the withdrawal of all troops by September 11th. And I think that should reassure the American public that they will be very diligent and conservative in how they approach the vaccines. Your second question was — you know, we really have thought of this as a wartime effort from the beginning, which is why we purchased excess supply so that we’d be ready for any contingency. No public schedule available at this time. WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - US President Joe Biden on Thursday (March 25) held his first news conference since entering the White House in January, … MS. PSAKI:  Well, let me first say that, as you note, the President had a call with President Putin this morning. Q    And, in this review, what — what’s going to happen? Q    So it is not under consideration here? Do you disavow her calls for no more policing? And I think that, you know, there’s tremendous track record, as Dr. Fauci has talked about, with tens of millions of doses of Pfizer and Moderna. MS. PSAKI:  Well, look, I think, Hans, we are — we believe that the diplomatic path is the only path forward here, and that having a discussion, even indirect, is the best way to come to resolution. Q    Quick question about yesterday’s infrastructure meeting. Because if you look at the frame — the timeframe when this occurs, it’s pretty tight from a few days — 6 to 13 days from the time of the vaccination. FILE – People sit at the base of a transmission tower in North Arlington, N.J., Tuesday, April 6, 2021. Vice President Joe Biden reflects on returning to Chicago for the President's Farewell Address. And that’s exactly what they’re doing. And that puts us well on pace to meet the President’s goal of 200 million shots by his 100th day in office and continue to reach every adult who wants to get vaccinated. If you look at what we know so far, there have been 6 out of the 6.85 million doses, which is less than one in a million. So we have more than enough supply of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines to continue the current pace of about 3 million shots per day. That’s the first thing. MS. PSAKI:  Well — well, I’m not going to get ahead of any announcements we have on the consequences that we will invoke on the Russian leaders for the actions they’ve already taken. We don’t know that now. We’re now working with our state and federal partners to get anyone scheduled for a J&J vaccine quickly rescheduled for a Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. Small Business Administrator — newly confirmed — Isabel Guzman will join the event with thousands of small-business owners to highlight how the American Jobs Plan support small business. Q    And then, with respect to Russia’s military buildup at the Ukrainian border, what is on the table to respond if Russia doesn’t back down? The — there was no heads up here. Sometimes we announce things because they’re through the vetting process and a decision has been made. Q    Does the President have any preference on where the location should be? Are you relying on volunteers? Do you have to change your message? I mean, could this keep happening with the vaccines because they’re so new? So we’ll have to see what the discussions look like and whether the President could support any changes that would be made through that process. Mary, do you want to kick us off? Does that also apply to indirect effects from the corporate tax changes that might not technically be tax increases? So it really depends community to community, but we work with faith-based organizations, we work with community health workers, we work with disability organizations, we work with organizations across the board of all different backgrounds and affiliations so that they can get the message clearly out to communities. MR. ZIENTS:  Certainly about — around how safety and efficacy are being monitored by the gold-standard folks at the FDA. MS. PSAKI:  Are — how we determine who community leaders are in communities? Look, if an average family of four, making under that amount, sees their heating bill go up because utility companies increased their rates to accommodate the 28 percent corporate tax rate, is that okay or acceptable to the President, you know, because it’s not technically a tax increase? We saw — we have evidence of what happens. As I mentioned, Secretary Blinken and Secretary Austin are in Brussels now having a discussion about a range of issues, including the aggression at the border. This might — this question might be asking you to state the obvious, but can you verify that means that there were no developments of blood clots — symptoms in the recipients of those vaccines? Russia is an outlier in many ways, in that regard. Some will be seen and some will be unseen, as we often say, and hopefully we’ll have more to share with all of you soon. I think what Americans — who are exhausted, who have suffered, who are worried about their kids and their family members — should know is that the President sees racial equity as a central focus of his presidency, and his actions bear that out. And today’s action, I think, is clear evidence that they’re taking every step necessary to ensure the American people have clear and transparent information about the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines. I’ll check if I do. But I will say that the President has been consistent in his view that there’s not a military solution to Afghanistan; that we have been there for far too long. And secondly, is the Biden administration considering ordering more doses of Pfizer/Moderna given — just in case this problem with J&J becomes prolonged? But in yesterday’s meeting with members of Congress, the President mentioned the gas tax, only to make a point that even a significant increase in the gas tax — which some people have proposed — would pay for only a fraction of the investment the country needs. As you know, the President also attended a congressional tribute for U.S. Capitol Officer William Evans this morning. Q    And so, kind of, how is the government working with these local officials? They are having discussions with their counterparts about a range of topics, including the military buildup on the border, so I won’t get ahead of those discussions. MS. PSAKI:  It’s a great question.

DR. FAUCI:  Thank you very much, Jeff. Urban View (Channel 126) will be covering throughout the day CNN Originals (Channel 121) will air a Race for the White House marathon from 7 a.m.-7 … President Joe Biden participated in his first presidential news conference on Thursday, facing the most intense questioning on the crisis at the southern border that he's had since taking office earlier this year as thousands of unaccompanied children arrive in the US.. Washington, DC 20500. So while the summit is still coming together, I’m not sure I would go that far, given there are over 40 leaders we have invited and we’re still finalizing the details of the — of the events. Do you have shortness of breath, chest discomfort? This is a really rare event. Most of that — subtract the 6.85 million — is in the messenger RNA from Pfizer and from Moderna. We believe that the most important steps we can take is to rebuild and support our own economy here at home, and to also be candid about areas where we have concerns, whether it’s human rights abuses or technological abuses. So part of our effort here was to work with Mexico and Northern Triangle governments to implement collaborative migration measures. In other cases, there are — covering the cost of hotels and others for quarantining. I mean, are military options being considered? Please enable JavaScript to use this feature. Q    Do you rule out sending in the National Guard? “Secretary” Austin, I guess I should say — switching — switching titles. They’re always welcome. Vladimir Putin would suggest that he’s looking to deescalate some tensions there. That would be important. Q    On — you guys have had a little bit of a back-and-forth — the White House and the Michigan Governor’s Office. Q    And if I could, I just want to get your reaction to some comments from Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib that are getting a fair amount of attention. And that’s why you see the word “pause.”  In other words, you want to hold off for a bit, and it very well may go back to that, maybe with some conditions or maybe not. Next Post: Readout of Oval Office Meeting with Congressional Black Caucus, Readout of Oval Office Meeting with Congressional Black Caucus, https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2021/04/13/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-jen-psaki-niaid-director-and-chief-medical-advisor-to-the-president-dr-anthony-fauci-and-covid-19-response-coordinator-jeff-zients-april-13-2021/. But now he’s committing to withdrawing troops to a number that is zero. The President’s view is that there are necessary, outdated reforms that should be put in place; that there is accountability that needs to happen; that the loss of life is far too high; that these families are suffering around the country; and that the Black community is exhausted from the ongoing threats they feel. And the President wants to have the bandwidth to focus on them, not on an adversarial relationship with Russia. 12:30 p.m.: Jen Psaki holds the White House's daily news briefing with HUD secretary Marcia Fudge. We bring nothing to the table. “In the coming months” would be the summer. Q    Can you talk a little bit about the process in both deciding for this pause and, sort of, what comes next? The FDA has an extraordinary group of scientists and experts that lead these types of efforts. Just tell people to just watch out for not feeling very well. And what are you doing to prepare for that? And that’s done at the community level. Q    And just real quick, how does this not contribute to — those of the very areas where hesitancy, I think, is most predominant at this point in time, based on what you guys have seen. MS. PSAKI:  (Laughs.) There have been no red-flag signals from those. I wouldn’t want to speculate as to what — what would happen. 6:36 PM ET by Adrienne Harris, Alex Zerden. Open to pre-credentialed media, The President departs Chicago, Illinois en route Washington, DC. Back in 2017, when Republicans prioritized tax cuts for big corporations over investing in working people, there were many arguments made about what the impact would be: the benefits would be passed on to consumers, they would invest in R&D, there would be jobs created. But the manifestations of this are that headache is the very common component of it, because the sinus thrombosis that they have is the draining of the blood in the brain, and it will cause enough symptomatology to make you notice it. Go ahead. The administration obviously is committed to supporting Afghan women and minorities. She’s also had to coordinate a disaster response to a faulty dam burst, all while doing all of this, and a devastated the Michigan community. MR. ZIENTS:  Why don’t you do the first part and I’ll do the second part. Q    So, I guess, how are you determining which organizations know who these influential people are who are going to reach these certain groups that you feel like perhaps you’re not going to reach? And there is — what is different now is that there is coordination on the international front, with the Europeans, with our partners. The Senate voted to extend the application deadline for the Paycheck Protection Program, the key federal relief effort for small businesses, to May 31. We have seen countless studies where the biggest impacts to these corporations would likely be on capital. I think it’s important that — you know, we have here the FDA, and the FDA is the gold standard for ensuring the safety and the effectiveness of the vaccines. Several times from the podium, you’ve acknowledged that the Biden administration may not be the best messenger for certain groups on the vaccines, such as white evangelicals, conservative white folks. ... the President will attend meetings at the White House. The departure from the South Lawn is open press, and the arrival at Chicago O’Hare International Airport is open to pre-credentialed media. And like —, Q    Reach these groups that you’re trying to, you know —. The Vice President, the First Lady, and Dr. Biden will also attend. Like, there were those announcements. What expectations should they have for change in the Biden era? Q    On Russia: The President proposing a summit with. We'll be in touch with the latest information on how President Biden and his administration are working for the American people, as well as ways you can get involved and help our country build back better. WASHINGTON – The House voted largely along party lines Wednesday to remove the expired deadline for ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment for women, despite … MS. PSAKI:  Well, then I don’t think we have to anticipate it as an issue quite yet. The President’s address at McCormick Place is open to pre-credentialed media; however, the RSVP deadline has passed. First one — and you might not have the answer to this: Do we have a timeline in terms of how long this is going — are we talking days before it might get flipped back on or a week? So, as it relates to your question, I will say that, you know, our approach to our relationship with Russia is one where we certainly expect the relationship to remain a challenge. And last night, the — or two days ago, the President was, you know, appealing for calm. Well as I said, we didn’t know about anything, in terms of the announcement, until last night. DR. FAUCI:  Well, I mean, if someone recently — within days — I would tell them to just — first of all, don’t get an anxiety reaction because, remember, it’s less than one in a million. Of course, if these are effective, then there will be fewer people who are coming to our own borders. I expect they will do a readout when those discussions conclude. So I’ll stop there. In reading the readout that you guys sent out, does the President currently characterize the relationship with Russia as “honest” and “stable,” or is that something he wants to work toward? My question is on LGBTQ rights. And she’s done a tremendous job, in our view, while facing an enormous set of challenges. Today, leaders from nearly 60 of those campuses will attend Healthy Campus Challenge Day at the White House. MS. PSAKI:  I don’t think we’re quite there yet. Jeff, is the — is J&J production going to continue during this pause? Q    Also on a diplomatic front: Was the U.S. given any heads-up about the attack from, potentially, Israel on the power facility in Natanz? I also wanted to highlight that this week is Black Maternal Health Week, and in its honor, today the Vice President and Domestic Policy Advisor Susan Rice are hosting a roundtable with women who will share their experiences with complications from pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum — the impact of postpartum — post — post-childbirth, as well as their work in advocacy and research highlighting the disparities that Black women face in maternal health. But also, we will rely on the guidance and the timeline of our health and medical teams. What are they evaluating? DR. FAUCI:  There have been no serious events to call attention to anything that would relate to a pause. That’s the reason why the CDC and the FDA want to take a look at this and say: “Is there — are there some categories now where people outside of that categories don’t have any of the factors, so it’ll be okay to go on.”. And that is certainly how we approach our relationship. Q    How helpful would a permanent director be in those efforts though? Q    You have described this as a “really rare event,” but this does seem like a pretty drastic step. Q    If I could just do — we’ll switch gears to Russia, real quick. I don’t have any personnel announcements or previews for you. We are totally aware that this is a very rare event. The departure from Chicago O’Hare International Airport is open to pre-credentialed media, and the arrival on the South Lawn is open press. But he was using it as an example of how it wouldn’t even make a sizable dent in paying for the package. We expect there will be continued difficult conversations, and we are prepared to confront those. When should we expect to be a conclusion? Do you have to do something different to address hesitancy in the wake of something like —. Does the President have any reason to believe Putin will actually listen this time? Q    And on police reforms and racial justice, you know, it doesn’t appear the Democrats have the votes needed to pass the George Floyd Policing Act, as the administration hopes. And our team will remain in contact with these officials on the ground, as well as with civil rights leaders and community stakeholders. And while we’re averaging 3 million shots in arms per day, the 25 million supports actually that level and even accelerating. Open Press Q    Just to nail it down, Jeff, one of the goals that you haven’t mentioned today is the hope that there’ll be enough supply on hand for the country by the end of May. MS.
