Hi, this is Josh Marshall, and this is the Josh Marshall podcast.

We're going to talk a lot about vaccines today and I guess some of it is going to be the, you know, inevitably there's, there is, there's going to be a lot of, you know,

snaf foods and stuff like that and the rollout of a vaccine. I don't think I don't think any time

Maybe in history ever there's been a case where there's a new vaccine.

The effort is to get everybody in the country inoculated as soon as as possible and it's a case where the the disease in question is one that is like

totally upended the world and you, you know, because there have been new vaccines,

there's chicken pox vaccine, what, 20 years ago,

there's a Gardisil, there's various different stuff, but those are all things that like you know there was no like

chicken pox lockdown and so so it is a huge logistical thing not to mention the fact that it's the, you know, the entire world.

So we're going to talk about that.

We may also talk about her. I mean, I've been looking into there's been a kind of a flurry of news reports and

and concern and some panic about this new COVID variant in the UK. It's sort of getting labeled as being in the UK.

But it's not even clear it started in the UK. It may have started in like, what is it, Denmark

or the Netherlands or something like that. It's also in South Africa.

So we're gonna talk about that.

And before we do, let me say a quick word

from our sponsor, Grady's Cold Brew ice coffee.

There are two kinds of cold brew drinkers out there.

Fair weather friends who switched a hot coffee when the temperature dips and everyone else.

With 36 servings per bag, Grady's reusable all-in-one cold-brew kit gives you the space to explore

your coffee preferences with less than a buck a cup, four less than a buck a cup.

Brew it hot on frigid mornings or spike it over ice for a chilly winter
