No, being vegan doesn't protect you from COVID and other debunks with Dr. Katrine Wallace
The pandemic isn't over, although most people have moved on with their lives. Epidemiologist Dr. Katrine Wallace joins Emergency Drinks host Diana Edelman to discuss her experience during the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges of communicating science to the public as she rose to popularity on social media. She talks about the initial response to the pandemic, the spread of misinformation, and the surprising backlash against public health measures. The in-depth chat also addresses the role of the vegan community in spreading vaccine misinformation and the importance of evidence-based information. The two also tackle mask-wearing, community mindset, bird flu and the rise of raw milk, and more.
