Description
Interview with Dr. Ferric C. Fang, professor of laboratory medicine, pathology and microbiology at the University of Washington School of Medicine, conducted by Scott Harris.
University of Washington School of Medicine professor Dr. Ferric C. Fang discusses his views on the decision by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattachary to cancel all federal contracts for research on mRNA vaccines because RFK Jr. believes “the public lacks trust in the technology,” and the consequences for U.S. and global public health in normal times, as well as in the event of future deadly pandemics.
