Infectious Diseases, Pandemics, & Vaccines Committee

The Infectious Diseases, Pandemics, Vaccines Committee mobilizes public health experts and activists from across the country.  We focus on anticipating and responding to public health threats posed by the Trump administration.   Our members track current events, research, public health monitoring and messaging, and clinical care.  To address the administration’s misinformed and craven public health policies and drastic funding cuts, we publish op-eds and articles in the print media, mount social media campaigns, appear on broadcasts and provide expert insight to reporters.  We also submit testimony and talking points for Congressional hearings on losing America’s edge in biomedical research and innovation as well as the dismantling of the NIH, CDC and FDA.  The committee meets weekly, and we welcome new members.
