The Sci and Tell Show
Viruses, Vaccines, and Skepticism
What is a virus? Are they alive? Are vaccines safe? Can we trust the COVID-19 vaccines? Why do we need to take the vaccine? These are just a few of the questions Billie and Mike address in the latest episode of the Sci and Tell Show. They also go over topics such as the paleohistory of viruses, the history of vaccines, analyze the anti-vaxx movement (past, present, and future), and go over some FAQs regarding COVID-19 and vaccines in general.
