I am delighted to be a part of this effort and address lot of myths and misinformation! @AACR @HarvardChanSPH @truthinitiative @DrHowardKoh

“You can’t have it both ways. You can’t undermine public health principles and mitigation measures, and now expect the same group of people who have been persuaded to be skeptical to suddenly become open to vaccination,” says Dr K. 'Vish' Viswanath @ViswanathLab
Trump promised a “miracle” and he may need one to persuade skeptical supporters to take the #covid-19 #vaccine if and when it becomes available. 'Vaccine hestitancy' is on the rise. For years, Trump was a vaccine skeptic blaming immunizations for autism.bit.ly/2ZdQNcN
