Honored to chat with you recently! Your dedication to trying to improve the lives of others through global access to low-cost vaccines and also to try to explain the benefit of vaccines here in the US is truly inspiring! virologyunmasked.com/titans-…
Just a note of gratitude for your support on X, BlueSky the last two days, as you might imagine the political extremists, wellness influencers, amplified by Russian bots/trolls have used Wednesday’s Senate hearings as a dog whistle to launch a pretty impressive wave of death threats and calls for my public execution. It’s always bad, but definitely a big jump. Anyway, thanks for your kind thoughts and private emails, means a lot
