Big Picture Science - Skeptic Check: Anti-Vax
They were developed in a matter of months, and
they’re 90 percent effective at stopping infection. They protect against
serious illness or death. And yet, roughly one-third of Americans refuse to get
the Covid vaccine. How can this be? How could something that our ancestors
would have considered a
miracle be refused by so many? The reasons are many,
and not all are because of an antivax attitude. We talk to health professionals
to learn what’s stopping the public from stopping the pandemic.
Guests:
- Paul Offit – Pediatrician and Director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
- Tanagne Haile-Mariam – Professor of Emergency Medicine, George Washington University School of Medicine
- Nsikan Akpan – Former Health and Science Editor for New York Public Radio
