Rank: 12
Dr. Tom Inglesby
Director, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security
From leading the most reliable source of COVID data to advising local and federal officials on the public health impact of economically-driven decisions, Ingelsby, had a very busy year. A lifelong infectious disease expert, Ingelsby early on warned of the country’s lack of preparedness. In recent months, he has turned his attention to the vaccine distribution. Given his prescience of the outbreak, states and providers would be smart to heed his warnings.
