Episode Synopsis
What does it mean when companies tell us their vaccines work? Turns out, clinical trials weren’t set up to answer really important questions about how long immunity lasts, whether the shots stop disease transmission, or whether some of the many vaccines still in clinical testing might have advantages over the front runners. And since we’re supposed to “stay vigilant” for months to come, we need better studies aimed at finding who’s at risk and why, and how to distinguish big risks from small ones.
