In this episode of British Suits and Cowboy Boots, Richard talks to Dr. Peter Hotez, internationally renowned physician-scientist specializing in vaccine development and media personality; for many, he’s the man with the bow tie making COVID understandable.

Dr. Hotez talks about COVID-19, his life’s work on vaccine development, the importance of global vaccination programs and overcoming vaccine disinformation and online hate.

He discusses how he moved to Texas to “better his science,” his long time collaborations with the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and Imperial College London and why UK-US leadership on science matters so much. Shout outs too for Indian organisations supporting efforts to vaccinate the world (and a mention for Richard’s former home Hyderabad!). And we hear why eating Antone’s Banh Mi's and drinking Tito’s Vodka is actually helping to save lives.

A can’t miss discussion with one of the world’s leading COVID-19 and vaccine experts.
