Salutations from San Diego. This is Jonathan Wosen, West Coast biotech & life sciences reporter. We’ve got an outstanding lineup for you today, featuring a look at the tricky choice facing federal officials on vaccine policy, the search for a permanent director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and a deep dive on how regulatory changes have made it harder for patients to secure a transformative treatment for a deadly gut infection.
On a personal note, I’m taking a few months of parental leave starting today, so it’ll be a while before you see my byline again. In the meantime, please continue to read my talented colleagues’ excellent coverage. I’m looking forward to keeping up with their work from afar (when I’m not busy with the little one).
