This is super important. That is a very important position. I hope he is both a great scientist and a great communicator. Our local "news" station reported that Dr. Prasad claimed "without evidence" that COVID jabs had injured children. The editorializing modifier was a blatant lie. This is what Dr. Milhoan and his colleagues (Prasad, Bhattacharya, Kennedy, et al) are up against.
Great news!!! His heart is for the children. One of the most conscientious, God-fearing men you could ever hope to meet. I'm thankful to say he's my Pastor. I've and the privilege to go on one of the mission trips to Tanzania and personally witnessed the amazing work he and his volunteers do to help the children of this poor country.
