I am a neurologist, now retired, having lived through the pandemic- from seeing reports in the Times about a surge in a a SARS-like illness in China to the chaos in Naples to the first cases in Washington state to the waves of patients overwhelming my hospital in SC.
For a long time, as a medical director of in-patient neurology and a comprehensive stroke program, I never saw anyone who survived covid. And it wasn't just the death, it was the level of human suffering. I'd practiced for over 30 years, but nothing prepared me for the level of suffering that I witnessed every day for months on end. It was a fever that finally broke with the introduction of the vaccine.
RNA vaccine technology is a scientific triumph. The key breakthroughs were made by Kaitlin Kariko and Drew Weismann, at Penn. I met Kaitlin when she was a post doc at USUHS and I was a fellow down the street at Walter Reed, so I feel a deep personal connection to the story of RNA vaccines development.
It should come as no surprise that I feel the greatest anger, frustration and personal animis toward RFK2 for wrecking the edifice of public health and the most important biomedical advance of the 21st century.
A pox on your houseβ¦
