I was concerned from the first discussions about vaccine development. I understood that these vaccines would be ineffective and potentially harmful because of the rapidly mutating nature of coronaviruses. Soon after the vaccine roll-out I began to see disturbing trends in the types of cancers and infections I was seeing under the microscope in my lab. This is the very nature of scientific discovery – to make truthful observations and study this through rigorous and repeatable application of the scientific method. I have learned through this process that the truth is not always appreciated.
