| schestowitz__ | As regards my fight over corruption at the USPTO, attached are two pdfs of Comments I have made to the Federal Register, and you might be interested in my observations about David Kappos in the pdf entitled "Comments regarding proposed fee adjustments."

| schestowitz__ | I'll also like to ask you about something else, totally unrelated, as you happen to be the only person I "know" from England. | Mar 28 16:53 |
| schestowitz__ | I saw some news about Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID vaccines in Italy, being saved for sending to England. IDK if this is public knowledge (it is here), but Argentina also produces that vaccine with its own infrastructure, and we made about 15-20 million doses that never ended up on any argentine: the doses are now in the USA. We made those doses for latin america, and no latin america country has seen any dose so far from it. And | Mar 28 16:54 |
| schestowitz__ | India is another producer, which recently closed the exports of the vaccine because of contracts being not fulfilled (and Indians dying, of course). So people is starting to talk about Oxford and/or AstraZeneca trying to benefit England over everybody else in the world. | Mar 28 16:54 |
| schestowitz__ | Yet, the Italy thing is scary, as the whole Brexit stuff made the relations between England and the EU very tense. And, to be honest, I'm very scared of this thing scalating to conflict (France stance is certainly not helping). What's the word around England about all this stuff? Do you believe actual conflict is a real possibility? | Mar 28 16:54 |
| schestowitz__ | I will respond to this in post form tomorrow, without mentioning names... | Mar 28 16:54 |
