Has that shifted now that Biden's taken office?
That's been a constant challenge for you throughout your career though.
You've advised seven presidents over decades and there's sort of two jobs that you're doing, isn't there?
You're sort of managing up to the president, but you're also you're you're managing communication to an entire nation.
How do you balance that managing up and also that public health messaging?
You mentioned before the vaccine rollout and uh UNSW alumnus Carla Burnett said the US struggled at the start of its vaccine rollout uh but has seemed to have picked up the slack and Australia is also struggling with its vaccine rollout at the moment and wondering what advice the US can give to Australia in this regard.
So you mentioned before about vaccination being something that everyone's to do, that idea of health equity.
And Sophia Hanning, who's a UNSW student, was asking about whether you think that the COVID nineteen health crisis in the USA has increased American public support for universal health care or if it's further entrenched the current model.
So epidemiologists and virologists and infectious disease experts have been predicting a global pandemic for years and it was called disease X and it was inevitable, but it happened.
Uh when was the moment that you realised that COVID nineteen was going to be a big deal?
Yeah, I suppose China perhaps wasn't transparent at the beginning, but they did mobilize really quickly, which the rest of the world has also had to learn to do.
And despite that early hesitancy to be transparent, the pandemic has really been characterized by international collaboration.
Obviously the United States has a lot of work to do to protect its own citizens, but what responsibility do you think that wealthy nations like the US and Australia have to the developing world?
What is our way out globally then?
Because last year it was all like we've just got to get through twenty twenty and now we're in twenty twenty one and it still hasn't quit.
Where to from here?
This is the David Cooper Memorial Lecture.
David Cooper Pioneered AIDS research in Australia.
And one of the things that really worked for his work here in Australia was partnering with the LGBTQ community.
And I know that that's something that you came around to as well in your work.
