Episode description

There hasn't been a shortage of vaccines in Bulgaria, but only around 30% of the population are vaccinated, in a country which already had the lowest life expectancy in the EU. Professor Antoniya Dimova joins Gavin and Jessamy to talk about the pandemic in Bulgaria, how misinformation shaped the public health response during COVID-19, and where Bulgaria goes from here.
