Dr. Andrew Wakefield Lecture @ IPAK-EDU: The Sixth Extinction

In this lecture, Dr. Wakefield describes the problem of the vaccine selection pressure on evolving measles virus populations, and the effect of the vaccination program on the age-shift of the susceptible from the very young primarily now to adults. He is concerned that the very young are also susceptible due to the lack of passive immunity from mothers with natural immunity. This 2021 lecture is being made freely available. The lecture was part of the intensive course, "The Biology of Immunology" taught by Dr. James Lyons-Weiler, which is available annually (Spring Term) at http://ipak-edu.org
