Well, I guess to start with the idea of sticking metal needles in children and they scream and get a fever, and that's the best thing you can do to protect their life, it is counterintuitive. And in most of the countries we work in, our vaccine work is mostly in the poor countries where the deaths are. If there's a period where people are skeptical about vaccines, very quickly,

you'll see kids die of measles. So there's a correcting factor that, wait a minute, these kids died. In the US, because these infectious diseases don't come into the country much at all, and kids are well-nourished, you can have a laxity in vaccine coverage that is dangerous, but you don't see the problem for quite some time. And even when you see it, it won't be tens of thousands of deaths.

It will be a very small number. So we have good sanitation, good nutrition. We're very lucky. I couldn't believe the craziness and Robert Kennedy was part of promoting some of these things. He wrote a book about how Fauci and I, he said, kill millions to make money, which is exactly correct. If you invert the sign, yes, I give billions to save millions, not the other way around.

And so a little bit, you have to have a sense of humor about what the heck, why were people under so much pressure for oversimplistic explanations? And, you know, the vaccine came in and saved millions and millions of lives. And, you know, next time, the next pandemic could be 10 times as fatal as this one was.

who got a little bit of money for us, said that, you know, the idea that there's one answer in math is a racist, you know, sort of white thing, that there's just one answer in math. And so, you know, when you let something run, it can get pretty extreme. You know, so both sides. Look, you know, I'm a centrist, and I'm more of a technocrat than a political person.
