Safety is Bipartisan: Addressing the COVID-19 Vaccine Political Divide
Listen now
Description
Recent polls show there is a political and religious divide in the desire to get vaccinated against COVID-19. But why? In this final episode of the series, we hear from some folks who can help answer that question, as well as providing further facts and nuance to the conversation. Pastor Jared Cornutt of Irving, TX, breaks down some of the theological arguments for getting vaccinated; then, host Robin Roberts sits down with Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health. A person of faith himself, Dr. Collins is known for his ability to speak about science to both sides of the aisle. Ultimately, both conversations reveal that what seems to be a political divide isn't always politically motivated. Tune in for tips on how to have effective conversations about the COVID-19 vaccines, and to get some of your own questions about the vaccines answered, too.
