What does a freelance epidemiologist do in a pandemic? Volunteer lots of time, from developing intensive protocols for a youth ice hockey team, to researching vaccine safety and learning about what people think about vaccines. Professional curiosity drives me to read, think, and work toward a more positive outlook. I care deeply about the profession of public health, and am wrestling with how we can better connect with people to encourage wellness. I hope you enjoy hearing from the real people I have met on Twitter and at gas stations and grocery stores!

This episode summarizes what I've been reading and hearing related to reactions after vaccination. Discussion includes innate and adaptive immune response and the role of aging in muting the immune response. Recorded at zero degrees in a hockey rink during practice. Brief discussion about the privilege of boots on the ground experience playing through the pandemic. My son says - beware the placebo effect... Thank you for listening! (Btw: note that intro and closer are precisely balanced in length, like the vaccine and placebo arms... Symmetry!)
