CHARLOTTSVILLE (WINA) – UVa physician and former 5th District Congressional candidate Dr. Cameron Webb is joining President-elect Biden’s White House COVID Response Team. Webb is no stranger to the White House since he worked as a White House Fellow in the Obama Administration in 2016 and through the transition to the Trump Administration. After that, he joined the UVa faculty where he has been an assistant professor of medicine and public health sciences, and as director of health policy and equity at the UVa medical school.
Webb will be Senior Policy Advisor for COVID-19 Equity on the new White House COVID team.

The vice president attended a briefing on inauguration security on Thursday before greeting National Guard members stationed at the Capitol after last week s riot there.
Pence also flew to the funeral of the late pilot Chuck Yeager on Friday, and he will deliver addresses on Saturday and Sunday in California and New York, respectively, to tout the administration s military achievements.
The vice president will attend Biden s inauguration on Wednesday, while Trump is expected to depart Washington, D.C., earlier that morning.

When we queried the Biden-Harris transition team, we received citations for each factoid within 15 minutes setting a standard for a response that we hope is maintained. The Trump White House, of course, rarely responded to such queries, generally because the president’s claims almost never could be supported.
