b'The Coronasode we\\u2019ve been waiting for! Vaccines. Finally. But what does this mean? As a Vaccine Infodemiologist and science communication lead for The COVID Tracking Project, Jessica Malaty Rivera specializes in infectious disease epidemics and the surge of misinformation that accompanies them. The very first human trials of the COVID-19 vaccine occurred in March 2020, and Alie asks Jessica one million questions about the differences between the two available vaccines, rollout schedules, herd immunity, mRNA, vaccine hesitancy, mutated virus strains, picnics, vision boards, the post-holiday spike, how history can influence current vaccine rates, whether you should wipe down your groceries and more. Consider it a critical booster shot to the info we\\u2019ve gathered all year.\\xa0\\n\\nFollow Jessica at instagram.com/jessicamalatyrivera and Twitter.com/jessicaMalatyRivera\\n\\nMore info on Jessica Malaty Rivera: https://linktr.ee/jessicamalatyrivera\\n\\nSponsor links: www.alieward.com/ologies-sponsors\\n\\nA donation went to 500WomenScientists.org\\n\\nMore links and info at alieward.com/ologies/vaccineinfodemiology\\n\\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month: www.Patreon.com/ologies\\n\\nOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, pins, totes!\\n\\nFollow twitter.com/ologies or instagram.com/ologies\\n\\nFollow twitter.com/AlieWard or instagram.com/AlieWard\\n\\nSound editing by Jarrett Sleeper of MindJam Media & Steven Ray Morris\\n\\nTheme song by Nick Thorburn\\n\\nSupport the show: http://Patreon.com/ologies'
