If you teach virology to medical, dental or graduate students, of have occasion to defend the importance of vaccines, you’ll want to listen to this Podcast from “The 1A” (the successor to the Diane Rhem Show on NPR):
http://the1a.org/shows/2017-02-28/what-the-race-to-develop-the-rubella-vaccine-teaches-us-about-fighting-disease-today
It’s an interview and discussion with Meredith Wadman about her new book “The Vaccine Race”, which focuses on the history and personalities involved in the development of the Rubella vaccine. In her book, she also covers the ethics, politics and economics of vaccine development. Towards the end of the hour she discusses the issues surrounding vaccine skeptics. A very lively, lucid and knowledgeable presentation of virology and history of virus vaccines.
