Transcript: Hello, my name is Dr. Lorne Farovitch. I’m here to talk about why I decided to get involved with the clinical trials of the COVID-19 vaccine back in October or November of 2020.
Because of my studies of infectious diseases, I understood the seriousness of this worldwide pandemic. I saw how many people were becoming ill or dying because of it. It was a very frightening time for people. COVID-19 can cause a long list of health problems for many who contract it.
There are so many positive outcomes we get from vaccines. I decided to participate in vaccine clinical trials to protect myself from the disease. But it is also important to know how this vaccine might impact Deaf people. Health care data needs to become more diverse and inclusive. We need more people with disabilities to be involved with clinical studies so that we can better understand effects on people from different backgrounds. It is my wish that we make our healthcare system accessible and equitable for all. My involvement with the vaccine clinical trials was one way to do just that.
Thank you. Go get vaccinated.
