This is clearly a very important question. I do share the preoccupation about the resurgence of some preventable diseases—not only polio, but chicken pox and others. I think science can help us in understanding vaccine hesitancy, because I don't think you can lump it all.... Not everyone who is hesitant towards vaccines can be lumped into the same bucket.
Of course, the absence of proactive engagement to present the data, to inform the public and to understand their preoccupation leaves a lot of room for disinformation and misinformation. That's something that is very serious, actually. Earlier there was a question about vaccine safety and the vaccine-induced myocarditis, for example. I just want to say that my expert committee during the pandemic actually looked into this. I had a whole bunch of experts—from cardiologists to infectious disease experts—and the data was clear that the chances, the risks, of having myocarditis following infection were 10 to 20 times higher than the ones from vaccination.
It's this kind of information that I think we need to maybe package better for the public, and we need to find ways to inform the public about it in culturally sensitive ways—especially vulnerable populations.
