I believe I have a personal responsibility to make a positive impact on society.

You dont have to vaccinate every man, woman and child in the country if you have a couple of cases of smallpox cropping up.

There cannot be any impediment to science that will ultimately be good to the general public.

The launch of phase 1 Ebola vaccine studies is a first step in developing a vaccine that could be licensed and used in the field to protect not only the front line health care workers but also those living in areas where Ebola virus exists.

The immune systems goal is to protect the body against invaders either from without, such as microbes, or from within, such as cancers and different types of neoplastic transformation.

When I was a child, there were not that many vaccines. I was vaccinated for polio. I actually got measles as a child. I got pertussis, whooping cough. I remember that very well.

Certainly the support for research in HIV/AIDS was good in the Clinton administration, good in the Bush administrations. It just was.
