You can have extra time for wishing me a happy birthday.

Again, wicked is such a Massachusetts, Boston word as well, so it is bad.

Again, let's talk about that.

We need to see reforms in reimbursement. We need to see pull incentives like the PASTEUR Act be put in place.

Thank you. Dr. Boucher, you are treating patients in Boston every single day. You are seeing how bad the opioid crisis has become.

As temperatures warm, insects, animals now migrate to other parts of the planet that otherwise they would never have moved.

A person has a spotlight to continue to keep this issue front and center.

Thank you. Ms. Miller, you are the chair of the Antimicrobials Working Group, the pharmaceutical and medical device industries coalition on this issue.

We need a health care system that puts people first, providers to have all the tools readily available to treat patients with the best medications available.

So, can you explain to us why people with opioid use disorder are at risk and how can we mitigate that risk?

Like Dr. Boucher, what is stopping them from using the most innovative antibiotics that they have decided would be best for their patients?

We are all committed to attacking this insidious disease. We have got to stay together, be focused on it.

I introduced with Senator Capito... the Preventing Diabetes and Medicare Act... to extend that coverage.

Wow. I have never been to a Committee hearing like this... it shows our democracy is alive and well.

I want actionable items to do something that will help relieve pain, suffering, and save lives.

Over the course of today's hearing, we have heard baseless allegation after baseless allegation and unsubstantiated claim after unsubstantiated claim about Drs. Fauci and Collins and their involvement with the Proximal Origin paper.

Trust in science in our Nation's public health institutions has suffered.

Instead of examining this question seriously and objectively, the Select Subcommittee has so far only leveraged it to target our Nation's scientists.
