CDC facing formidable challenges in convincing conservatives to get COVID-19 vaccines
Public health experts at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are facing challenges even struggling as they try to figure out how to convince hesitant Republicans to take the COVID-19 vaccine, federal officials familiar with the situation told CNN.
“It’s kind of a mess to figure out with this particular audience what resonates with them, because they see vaccines as taking away their freedom,” said one official. “It’s a hard climb for everyone in public health. It’s moving a rock up a mountain.”
According to a Kaiser Family Foundation survey in April of more than 2,000 people in the US, 42% of Republicans, but only 19% of Democrats, are less than enthusiastic about getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
Covid-19 Wuhan lab leak theory must be taken seriously and the WHO has failed to make a balanced consideration of it, leading scientists say
The lab leak theory has to be considered until data-led probe proves it wrong, group of leading scientists said in a letter published today
Experts accused WHO probe into origin of virus as failing to consider all theories
In WHO-China report, experts dismissed theory of lab leak as extremely unlikely
LONDON (Reuters) -The origin of the novel coronavirus is still unclear and the theory that it was caused by a laboratory leak needs to be taken seriously until there is a rigorous data-led investigation that proves it wrong, a group of leading scientists said. "More investigation is still needed to determine the origin of the pandemic," said the 18 scientists, including Ravindra Gupta, a clinical microbiologist at the University of Cambridge, and Jesse Bloom, who studies the evolution of viruses at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. "Theories of accidental release from a lab and zoonotic spillover both remain viable," the scientists including David Relman, professor of microbiology at Stanford, said in a letter to the journal Science.
