    This was a very interesting episode! I found out about your program when you (Vincent) were on the Lex Friedman podcast. I started listening to TwiV to learn more about Covid-19 vaccines because I couldn’t stand all the mixed information out there and I’ve been a fan ever since. Thanks for making this amazing podcast and contributing to my understanding of the science of how viruses and vaccines work! It has helped me clarify some of the reasons behind vaccination for a few people and two people I know have opted to get vaxed because of it!
    From this Canadian layman, i thank you and truly appreciate your effort to share your wonderful knowledge. Thank you also to Daniel Griffin for the clinical updates!
