That was amazing, an incredible tour de force.

about how to protect our country and keep

it safe over the last 30 years than Tony Fauci--

So if we could have Mike, Dennis, Hillary, and Mosoka

so we had asked Larry Summers to come, and offer some remarks.

So then the question is, why Larry Summers?

may not be able to see the video from sitting up there.

And so Larry was kind enough to record a video for us.

and we'll get started on our first panel.

- I welcome the Harvard Global Health Initiative's review

of what happened a century ago with the flu pandemic

and its effort to look forward to mitigating the risks

and the consequences of future pandemics.

I am convinced that pandemic flu is the least focused on

Vast efforts and concern surround nuclear proliferation.

Vast efforts, appropriately, are directed to issues

I believe that the consequences are similar,

in terms of lives lost, to the risks associated

with climate change and the risks associated

And yet, pandemic risk is a obsession for specialists,

a preoccupation of those concerned with insurance

and reinsurance, but a much less-mainstream issue

than nuclear proliferation or global climate change.

And so, I believe that this initiative that reminds us

that more people died in the flu epidemic after World War I than

that reminds us of how profoundly society was changed

by a disease that took the strongest rather

were young or of middle age, is something

in the biomedical sciences over the last century.

On the other hand, we live in a much, much smaller and much,

means that disease vectors will be transmitted

Full quarantines will be that much more difficult.

dare I say it-- fake news, and confusion with respect

to vaccination, which has to be at the center of any effort

And we live in a world where, too often, the preoccupation

is with the urgent rather than with the profoundly important.

I believe that this is a central challenge

that deserves far more global attention than it is now

And I am glad to see Harvard's Global Health Initiative do

its part to arouse concern, prompt study and reflection,

and drive preparation for the epidemics and pandemics that

are all too likely to come, albeit unpredictably,

have been thinking about and working on these issues.

But Larry Summers, who has thought broadly, has worked,

obviously, across a variety of sectors and is one

of the leading economists-- and I think, public intellectuals--

has glommed onto something that is really

a key issue, which is that this is not a specialized issue.

This is not an issue that specialists need to obsess on.

think about the things that can cause catastrophic harm

global climate change is more slow moving.
