Abstract

We, members of the Australasian Virology Society, agree with and support the state-ment entitled“Virology under the Microscope—a Call for Rational Discourse”(1).Like virologists everywhere, we have worked with scientist and clinician colleagues world-wide to develop knowledge, tests, and interventions which collectively have reduced thenumber of deaths due to COVID-19 and curtailed its economic impact. Such work adds tothe extraordinary achievements resulting from virology research that have delivered vaccinesand/or antivirals against a long list of diseases and global scourges, including AIDS, smallpox,and polio
