Elderly New York liberals mixing politics with science
I am a left-leaning scientist and try to listen to these folks, but every. single. time. they turn me off by deviating into some partisan rant. Today I listened to their interview with Paul Offit, and it was all good and factual and fine until they went on a ten-minute rant in the middle about the horrible unvaccinated people and how they can’t possibly be rational…then the hosts went back to explaining how the push to mandate boosters is unsupported by evidence. If you can’t see the relationship between these two topics, perhaps you ought to seriously consider your biases. At the very least, stick to the science, and keep your Upper West Side political opinions to yourselves.

TWiV is an excellent source of virology information for individuals of all backgrounds. The topics discussed on TWiV serve as excellent launching pads for discussions, particularly for those of us teaching virology courses. Highly recommended!
