Welcome everybody to today's episode of the Lindsay Elmore show.

and for the post-marketing surveillance of drug

and vaccine safety. He, along with Dr. Sinatra Gupta and Dr. J. Batacharya, are authors of the

Great Barrington Declaration. The three of them, as infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists,
