I am an infectious disease Dr and I would gladly find something else to do with my life if we were able to eliminate all infections through vaccination and public health measures.That's how strongly I feel about infection prevention & the positive impact of vaccines. I am ok with being out of a job.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.
