COVID Vaccine Update 1/12/21 (w/Dr. Paul Offit)

The legendary vaccine researcher returns to answer a metric ton of our questions. We discuss the safety data so far after 7 million vaccinations, the case of the OB doctor who died of a platelet-related illness, why the second dose of the mRNA vaccines is crucial, why patients who've had COVID should still be vaccinated, the effect of monoclonal antibodies on vaccine efficacy, the situation with anaphylaxis/pregnancy/autoimmune disease and more, whether new viral variants will "escape" the vaccine, are there tests to check for real immunity after infection or vaccination, whether you can mix and match the two vaccines, what new vaccines are coming down the pipeline, do vaccinations prevent asymptomatic spread, un-blinding and vaccinating placebo arms of the trials, healthcare worker vaccine hesitancy, and much much more.
