Why Do the Hosts of This Podcast Will Kill You Say We Should Care About Vaccines?
On This Podcast Will Kill You, in Vaccines Part 1, Let's Hear It for Maurice, the hosts treat vaccines as protection for the person who receives them and for the people around them. They explain how a vaccine stimulates the immune system, and how that protection can shield others from deadly infections. The episode walks from the earliest practices that resemble vaccination, hundreds and thousands of years ago, along the later road of vaccine development and its effect on the modern world. Dr. Gail Rodgers and Dr. Padmini Srikantiah of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation join to explain development, deployment, and what comes next.
