This week hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter speak with scientist and entrepreneur Dr. William Haseltine, author of multiple books including “Variants: The Shape-Shifting Challenge of COVID-19”, who warns the growing number of variants will likely diminish vaccine efficacy against the virus, and that a lack of strict public health measures, particularly in the US, will lead to more widespread infection and an endemic outbreak cycle. He urges the FDA to demand more comprehensive data from the pharmaceutical industry on the long term efficacy of vaccines, and recommends more widespread genomic surveillance of COVID infections to better understand the health impact from variant strains.
