KU professor Graham warns vaccine delays hinge on basic science
The retired deputy director of the Vaccine Research Center, Graham, told a Lawrence audience that rapid COVID vaccines depended on 20 years of basic research and that if the pandemic had been caused by a different virus, a quick vaccine might not exist. He urged more funding for basic science and improved public trust. He recalled his Kansas roots in Paola and noted rural vaccine hesitancy. He warned that mistrust in institutions hampers response, but stressed continuing vaccine and science efforts and better science education.
