Welcome to this episode of the Aussie English podcast!
We got another man of science in the podcast today!
This guy like me is another science lover – he got his bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology and Molecular Biology from Clarion University and his PhD in Molecular Biology from Carnegie Mellon University.
Meet Dr. Dan Wilson, creator of the YouTube channel Debunk the Funk with Dr. Wilson!
In his channel, he debunks the claims of anti vaxxers, the covid deniers, and various misinformation that’s circling the Internet.
In this second instalment of this 4-part series of interviews, we talk about the technology of different COVID vaccines and how they work.
Like how the body’s immune system works when injected with a vaccine for fighting disease.
How we know the COVID vaccines are safe and effective based on the science. Also, what science has to say about these vaccines, how the scientific method works, and the incentives of scientists and big pharma!
We also discuss why the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines are so controversial amongst anti-vaxxers.
Lastly, we talk about why, if you could show the vaccines didn’t work using science, you’d become the most famous scientist alive today!
See you in the next episode!
