Tony Fauci is adamant about what we have to do in this regard. “We need to realize right now that we do not have an adequate vaccine for influenza,” he told us. “And we need to figure it out in the same way that we’re putting an incredible amount of money into trying to figure out if we can get a vaccine against HIV. I think we were lulled into some kind of complacency, because we had an influenza vaccine that we essentially used every year, that we modified a little bit to account for drift and shift. And we never said, ‘Wait a minute; we’ve got to do better than this!’”
