About this listen

 HOW A TINY VIRUS CHANGED THE WORLD So much of the past year has been spent by our nation and the world in suspended animation. People have experienced fear, confusion, isolation, anger, and frustration over the COVID-19 pandemic. We've had to mourn our dead, protect ourselves, protect our families and somehow try to plan a future with severely constricted or constrained freedoms. Trying to guide us through the disaster have been our scientists and doctors. Always cautious, these highly trained specialists depend on precise writing and oral presentation. They speak a language of their own, which helps them communicate with each other but which can be frustrating for the lay public. The public has the right to understand the science The editors at the Charles A. Dana Foundation, where I worked for 12 years, understood the necessity of communicating scientic advances in clear, understandable language that the public could trust and support. In writing this book, I used that concept as a guiding principle. The public has the right to understand the science so that we can make informed choices and decisions, never more urgent than in the age of COVID-19. This book is intended as a gateway to information on the COVID-19 vaccines that offer so much hope for recovering from the pandemic. The reader is strongly encouraged to follow the links and references in order to understand concepts that may not be immediately clear. Please stay up to date on the COVID-19 pandemic.
