Update: Very good points, and I'm glad the interviewers pretty much gave her a format to let her run free and discuss a myriad of points from Viral structure, research efficacy, potential vaccine approaches, and regulatory capture/political failure in diagnostics. She uses how the NIH pulled funding prior to having a vaccine imminent only to have the priorities shift entirely as a recent example of how short-lived memories and fashion can be deadly if this government funded research paradigm alone is how we approach these problems.
She seems like a very knowledge person (beyond her academic concentration) and understands the implications to other catastrophes when dealing with an unnecessary bureaucratic-political maze, its just not suited for foresight or critical crisis management. Its a best reactionary in a knee-jerk manner, and fails at scale in a catastrophic way. She makes a salient, albeit alarming, point how this can be seen with how climate-change is being mishandled.
I'd like to get to know more about her and her work, highly recommended podcast.
