When it comes to the health of the population right now, we have had this massive area that we're not talking about that we need to be talking about, and that is the rise of all these chronic diseases. We've got one in six women now affected with autoimmune diseases. Half the kids are sick. Prediabetes affects about 20% of teens. 70% of kids are not qualifying for the military.

So we've got to start talking about our problems and not just keep throwing medications at them.

Well, I got to be honest with you. I had a lot of emotions the last day I was in the operating room the day before my Senate confirmation hearing. And so it's an entirely different world here. I am on a listening tour. We're talking to the career scientists. We're trying to make sure they have all the resources they need to do their job well.

We're trying to change the culture here to make it more of a teamwork culture. It's been very siloed. Each of the centers has developed their own fiefdom with their own communications department and lawyers and lobbyists for Congress and IT departments. And the IT systems don't talk. They're on different systems.

So that's why you have VAERS and FAERS and CARES and 10 different adverse event reporting systems. We probably need one really good one. So I'm doing an inventory right now, trying to assess the lay of the land. And then we're also trying to change the culture to a culture of teamwork, the scientific gold standard and common sense working together. And that is our goal right now.

We need both. We need somebody who is a highly sub-specialized pancreatic specialist. We need people who think broadly and think functionally and think about the fact that 90% of type 2 diabetes is curable by changing what you eat. Changing what you eat can actually...

take care of a certain type of rash that somebody develops, almost as good as some of these expensive biologics in certain circumstances. So we need people who think differently. We need fresh new ideas. We need the old guard to ensure that we hold to rigorous scientific methodology, and we need fresh new ideas at the same time.
