Description

Join me as I take on another complex topic with serious implications – the COVID vaccine. I’ll thoroughly discuss the process of vaccine development, address concerns about safety and efficacy, and tackle some of the issues contributing to vaccine hesitancy. I hope you’ll soberly consider all of the information presented as you each make your own decision regarding the vaccine.
