Dr. Robert Redfield, who served as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) during President Donald Trump’s first term, called for more vaccine research in his address at a health care event hosted by Politico on Feb. 19.

“I’m in clinical practice two half days a week right now, and largely doing COVID and long COVID, and I have a number of patients that have very serious long-term consequences from the mRNA vaccines,” Redfield said during Politico’s First 100 Days: Health Care event.
