The Science Behind the mRNA Vaccines for Covid-19

The recent poll indicated that only 58% of Americans are willing to be vaccinated with the new Covid-19 vaccines. The other 42% for some reasons or another do not want to be vaccinated. Hopefully after hearing this 34 minutes recording from NPR some of the 42% will changed their minds regarding the safety of the vaccine.

Listen to the 34 Minute Recording above from NPR. I hope that after listening to the recording your fear and apprehension about the vaccine will be erased and you will be willing to get the vaccine as soon as its available to the general population. 

As a former FDA employee, I have no hesitation in being vaccinated once FDA has approved it.
