322 - Epidemiology 101, with Colin Furness

About this episode

What exactly is herd immunity? How can we be sure that the vaccine companies aren't lying to us?  What is this 'R0' value and why does it matter? What are the proven methods to stop outbreaks?  Are what are the reasons for hope? These are just some of the topics I cover on today's podcast with Colin Furness, PhD, a epidemiologist at the Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation, University of Toronto. 

Given the amount of deliberate disinformation and malicious misinformation going around please, please, please share this episode with someone who's on the fence about who to believe during the pandemic.
