Listen "'Not a Magic Wand': The Race for a COVID-19 Vaccine"
Episode Synopsis
Masks. Lockdowns. Shuttered businesses. Hospitals strained beyond capacity. Weary of the pandemic's myriad disruptions to normal life, many Americans are pinning their hopes on a COVID-19 vaccine. But even if an effective one is developed, it won't make the virus magically disappear. On today's episode of The Dose podcast, Dr. Margaret "Peggy" Hamburg, former commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and a member of the Commonwealth Fund's board, talks about the race to develop and deploy a vaccine. "Even the world's most safe and effective vaccine won't make a difference if people don't trust it and won't take it," she warns.
