A Gay Doctor on Convincing Doubters to Get Vaccinated
Out ABC News medical contributor Dr. Darien Sutton provides some insight about the future of the vaccine. May 11 2021 12:44 PM EDT
I’ve been teaching at a New York City college for almost five years, and I’m still in touch with a number of my former students. Many reach out for career advice, or help on getting a job, or wanting a letter of recommendation, and I’m always happy to oblige.
However, I was caught off guard recently when a former student told me that he decided not to get the COVID-19 vaccine. This person reads my column and knows that I’ve written a lot about the pandemic during the last year, including speaking to a number of medical experts including Dr. Fauci, Dr. Mike Osterholm and science writer Laurie Garrett. The student assumed that I was the closest thing to an “expert” that they could find, and I sensed he was challenging me about his decision.

WHAT’S GOING ON Covid cases have surpassed winter peaks in Michigan during the past two weeks, even as more than 40 percent of the population has received at least one dose of a vaccine. Hospitalizations in the state have hit their highest levels since the start of the pandemic, including 45 children, a record high.
We have a new epidemic of mixed messages on our hands. On the one side are those experts who remain very worried about another surge before the vaccine delivers us to the promised land and on the other those who see the vial as half-full and rising with each jab. One thing’s certain: The most highly contagious B.1.1.7 variant that brought Britain to its knees over the winter and is now ripping through Europe has landed in all 50 states in no.
