  • 5. But I do know about COVID-19 adenovirus vector vaccines

    Adenovirus vector vaccines have recently become available for COVID-19 immunization, however, there is lots of discussion surrounding their safety. In this episode, I discuss the science behind adenovirus vector vaccines, their safety and effectiveness in preventing COVID-19, rare blood clot development related to their distribution, and why they were restricted for use in some populations.

  • 4. But I do know about COVID-19 vaccine misinformation - Part 2

    The authorization of the mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 has amplified the misinformation being spread about the vaccines and the pandemic. In this episode, I address questions surrounding why vaccination is important for herd immunity, the COVID-19 testing process, and the new B.1.1.7 COVID-19 variant. The B.1.1.7 variant that was first detected in the United Kingdom is separate from other emerging variants. This episode addresses the B.1.1.7 variant only. Producer: Calvin Hillis

  • 2. But I do know about COVID-19 mRNA vaccines

    The breakthroughs of mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 have demonstrated how fast science can work when there are no limits of funding or disease prevalence. In this episode, I discuss the science behind mRNA vaccines, the approval and regulatory process of these vaccines for COVID-19 infection prevention, and the ingredients of the vaccines. In this episode and the remaining episodes, I address the SARS-CoV-2 as 'COVID-19' which I use broadly when I talk about the virus and the respiratory illness that follows infection.
