It's having profound effect on the poor, on women, on people of color.” —Chair of the Gates Foundation Melinda Gates, July 2020 “mRNA technology is here to stay. I believe that in the future, this technology will be used to produce many more vaccines against viruses, but also I believe will be used in other medical applications, like, for example, fighting cancer and many others.” —CEO of Pfizer Albert Bourla, November 2020 “I don't have the hope like I might with influenza, that it would one day attenuate or become less serious and no longer be the pandemic risk. This one, I think, is going to be with us for a long, long time. —Epidemiologist Dr. Michael Osterholm, February 2021 FIRING LINE WITH MARGARET HOOVER airs on PBS.
