Many thanks Jim @Acosta for hosting me with my friend colleague @ashishkjha Covid now accelerating in Southern states where vaccine refusal and defiance is high due to antiscience aggression from the political far right, including some members US Congress 
This is a self inflicted wound for the nation. The tragic reality is that if not for the antivaccine antiscience aggression from a group of US Congressional members and far right cable networks we could have possibly fended off delta. We would still need to vaccinate the world
When the history of COVID19 in America is written we’ll have to face the reality that far right extremism helped lead the return of COVID19 in the Summer of 2021
Here’s my article in @jclinicalinvest on how the antivaccine movement linked to far right extremism in 2015 under the phony health freedom banner, especially here in Texas jci.org/articles/view/…
