Episode description

There's a lot of information flying around about viruses and vaccines, so Nick and Ellie decided to make a one-stop shop about virus and vaccine fundamentals. Why are viruses spiky? How are vaccines made? Why can singing cause super spreading? Can Santa catch Covid-19? Learn the answers to these questions along with vital information about Rocky and Jonathon Groff in this latest episode of An Everyday Dissection.
