William Haseltine: A Sobering Look at the COVID-19, Variants & Immunity

Susan Ryan sits down with William Haseltine, PhD, scientist, researcher, author, philanthropist, and currently president of ACCESS Health International. Perhaps best known for his work on cancer, HIV/AIDS, genomics and currently, COVID-19, he is an internationally recognized expert on the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. Haseltine is dedicated to ensuring that quantum advancements in medical technology translate to improved health outcomes around the world. He is the author of more than 200 peer-reviewed manuscripts and 11 books, including two on COVID.  His new book, Variants! The Shape-Shifting Challenge of COVID-19, addresses the questions and issues around the virus, variants, and immunity.

Dr. Haseltine offers his perspective on the pandemic, including what the U.S. got right, and what should have been done differently. In addition, he offers his thoughts on herd immunity, vaccines and variants, as well as strategies he identifies as essential to controlling the virus, and the brutal consequences of not controlling it.

His thoughts (and warnings) are sobering and likely controversial, but definitely worthy of a listen.

Finally, Dr. Haseltine casts a vision for eldercare that incorporates his perspectives gained from his career and global observations that places value on elders and their integration into the community.
