Seventeen members voted for it and four voted against it.One of those No votes came from Dr. Fuller, a virologist and viral pathogen researcher. Dr. Fuller said she was concerned about the vaccine’s long-term impact.“Because we are in a COVID pandemic and because so many lives are affected and because the public needs to understand so they know what to do,” Dr. Fuller said. “I felt like this is a lot. A heavy responsibility. It is very sobering and that’s how I take it.”It’s not a lack of confidence in the research, it’s that she believes some specific questions about the risks did not get answered. Dr. Fuller said more data would be help her be certain that she has done her due diligence.As a researcher and an expert in how viruses behave, she still had questions on the table in terms autoimmunity and hyper immunity. She just wanted a bit more research to answer a few more questions before creating a full path to wide acceptance by the masses.“I am a great advocate for vaccines. I’m a virologist by training, I think viruses are amazing. I teach them. I study them. I engage the community about them,” Dr. Fuller said. “I think vaccines are a major way that we can stop or prevent infections but ‘a stitch in time saves nine.’”Dr. Fuller says it would be better to release the vaccine gradually instead of going almost directly from the study to being given to millions of people.RELATED: Dr. Fuller added that she believes just two more months of controlled studies would answer some of those specific questions.You can watch the full interview with Dr. A.
