Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses who are making themselves available for this important research.
My first question is for Dr. Halperin. Around the globe people are hungry for a vaccine to put an end to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we also have an anti-vaccine movement that seems to keep growing, even during a pandemic.
In your professional opinion, could the anti-vaccine movement undermine the efforts to end the COVID-19 pandemic? To people wondering whether or not they should take the vaccine, once ready, what challenges may an anti-vaccine movement pose?
