REAL FitnessRFL 014: Pandemics, Vaccines, and YouAs of 2021, SARS-CoV-2 is still a novel virus. It's great to have vaccines, but there is a lot we do not know about the virus. In this episode, I compare Covid-19 to other pandemics like Cholera, Measles, and the Black Death. We also get a little deeper into some covid-19 data that might have eluded us because they are not so popular. Finally, we talk about the best way for you to approach the vaccines, and I do this by challenging you to think critically for yourselves. I hope you enjoy it.
