How Safe Are Vaccines: Wading Through the COVID-19 Vaccine Myths
Manage episode 282431873 series 2824473
Over the last 100 years, vaccines have become an important tool for helping prevent the spread of disease. Smallpox and polio claimed countless lives in the 1900s and were just a few of the diseases that devastated American households prior to the development of effective vaccines.
Today, the World Health Organization estimates that 2-3 million lives are saved every year. That means that more kids get to grow old, more parents are able to see their children graduate college and become independent, and grandparents are able to enjoy retirement for longer than any previous generation.
With countries around the world, including the United States, working against the clock to administer COVID-19 vaccines safely and equitably, a growing number of misconceptions and myths are coming into focus. Join Dr. Jim McDonald and Dr. Philip Chan for another insightful conversation as they wade through the lies, misinformation, and false statements made about COVID-19 vaccines.
In this episode, you’ll learn more about the diseases we’ve overcome by using vaccines, some of the myths that have become more common, and the rigorous process COVID-19 vaccines went through before becoming more widely available.
