South Haven Speaker Series Presents: The Inside Story of the Virus and the Vaccine

This exclusive virtual presentation, streamed live from Washington D.C., will feature Dr. H. Clifford Lane, M.D., Deputy Director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease, who serves on a team of scientists led by Anthony Fauci who heads up the NIAID.

Dr. Lane will provide his findings on the virus, where it came from, how it got started, and how it spread so quickly and broadly throughout the United States. He will share stories about what he learned about the virus during his trip to China in February 2020 as one of two U.S. scientists to tour five different cities to get a first hand look at the epidemic. You will hear his expert opinion on the vaccine and how it combats the virus, how it differs from other vaccines and how it was developed so quickly. We will also hear his views on what we have learned to prevent future pandemics and how the method used to develop this vaccine can be utilized in the future as we encounter new diseases.

This event is being sponsored through the generosity of Spectrum Health Lakeland, The Mendel Center at Lake Michigan College, Kiwanis of South Haven and Rotary of South Haven.
