#36: The Delta Variant, Vaccine Misinformation, and Herd Immunity
In this episode, Jonathan is speaking with Patrick Maloney about the delta variant, vaccine misinformation, and reaching herd immunity.
They discuss:
•The delta variant and its implications on global public health; particularly in the U.S.
•While breakthrough infections are occurring due to the delta variant, vaccines are still very effective at preventing severe disease, hospitalizations, and death.
•How generational events in the past (i.e., 9/11, the World Wars, etc.) have unified the nation, but we haven't seen that with this event due to politicization.
•The “disinformation dozen” and how their lies have cost people their lives.
•The vaccines for the under 12 population and why it's important to vaccinate our children.
•How the delta variant with its increased infectivity has pushed herd immunity closer to 85-90%.
•Everything you need to know about the boosters for the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.
•And other topics.
