Episode 182: COVID-19 Vaccine Myth-Busting with Dr. Scott Newsome

If you spend more than a minute on social media it can seem like there's more misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccines than there is legitimate, fact-based information.  And I've heard it said that if you repeat a lie enough, it becomes the truth. So we're doing some major COVID-19 vaccine myth-busting with Dr. Scott Newsome.     Dr. Newsome is an Associate Professor of Neurology and Director of Neurosciences Consultation and Infusion Center at Johns Hopkins Medicine. He also serves as the Co-Director of the Multiple Sclerosis Experimental Therapeutics Program at Johns Hopkins, and President of the Board of Governors of the Consortium of MS Centers. Dr. Newsome is also a member of the expert Task Force convened by the National MS Society to develop a COVID-19 vaccine guidance for people living with MS.   We're also inviting you to participate in the RealTalk MS Listener Survey (and be entered into a drawing for a $100 Amazon Gift Card!).   And we're giving you a heads-up to watch for a bonus episode of RealTalk MS later this week when we cover the ACTRIMS FORUM 2021.   We have a lot to talk about!
