...how to look out for vaccine misinformation? (with Tara Haelle)
b'
A few weeks ago, we spoke to journalist Tara Haelle (@tarahaelle), who\\u2019s written about vaccines and vaccine hesitancy for a decade. If you haven\\u2019t already listened to her first episode, where she breaks down how to make sense of all the news around COVID vaccines, please go check it out. We had such a great conversation with Tara that we couldn\\u2019t fit everything in a single episode\\u2014so now we\\u2019re airing more.\\xa0
\\xa0There\\u2019s so much news coming out about COVID vaccines, it can be hard to keep up. And it doesn\\u2019t help that our best efforts to make rational decisions can be thwarted at every turn. It turns out that our own brains can sometimes mislead us, making it harder to judge whether what we\\u2019re learning is likely to be true or not.
\\xa0Do you ever wonder how to look out for vaccine misinformation?
\\xa0Tara had some great advice for dealing with misinformation. And she explained why humans are so bad at evaluating risk and what we can try to do to be better at it.
