Richard H. Hughes, IV, Member of the Firm in the Health Care & Life Sciences practice, in the firm’s Washington, DC, office, was quoted in The Atlantic, in “How RFK Jr. Could Eliminate Vaccines Without Banning Them,” by Katherine J. Wu.
Following is an excerpt:
The world’s market for vaccines, as it exists today, depends on the United States. The U.S. has poured immense resources into the design and development of vaccines, and has paid far higher prices for doses than most other nations can afford.
The federal government has issued broad vaccine recommendations, generating strong, consistent demand.
“That’s a predictable market,” Richard Hughes IV, a public-health-law expert and the former vice president of public policy at Moderna, told me.
