Summary

Dr. Bob gives us a masterclass on vaccines with Baylor College of Medicine Dean Dr. Peter Hotez. Bob and Peter get into the variants, delaying the second dose, and the state of vaccinations around the world. They also discuss Peter’s work combating science misinformation, which caused him to be labeled the “OG Villain” by a prominent anti-vaccine personality.
