Coronavirus conversations: Covid vaccines

As Covid vaccines roll out across the world, we’ve brought together a health care worker in the US who is concerned over the risks of the vaccines, and a vaccinologist answering her questions.

One of our new guest experts, Professor Manfred Green from the University of Haifa in Israel, will be joining us to answer listeners’ other questions about the virus.

We discuss the pressure from US Democrats on Vice-President Pence to act to remove President Trump from office over his role in last week’s storming of Congress. We also connect with local newspapers to hear what they have been finding out about the people who took part in Wednesday’s riot in the capital.

And we speak to our experts about Parler; the social network that is popular among supporters of Donald Trump has dropped offline.
