Have you found yourself confused over the past year. While face masks are currently required in some parts of China to prevent the spread of the deadly coronavirus here in the US, the Centers for Disease Control is not yet recommending them for the public. Tonight, the CDC says double masking offers more protection against COVID nineteen. Donald Trump tells us should that we've taken I'm not taking it. I want to encourage everyone to get the vaccine. It is safe.
Has it sometimes been difficult to figure out the truth? I had really been struggling with it, trying to figure out if I trust the vaccine once I sawed that video, if I didn't know it was an R and A what else don't I know about it? You know? But it was also that in the back of my head, why saw fast. I'm not against vaccines at all. I think there's a place for certain ones, but I also think some of them are not things that would give my children. We're living in uncertain times, but we do
know one thing for sure. The only way we're going to get out of this pandemic is mass vaccination. The problem is right now, many Americans just don't trust vaccines. What if I take it and something happens to me down the road. I'm torn between both, you know, I really am. I'm torn between both. This skepticism didn't actually start with the rollout of vaccines, or in March, or even with the rise of Donald Trump. This moment has
been brewing for a very long time. I'm Kristin V. Brown, the host of Doubt, a new series from Bloomberg Prognosis. In this podcast will trace the rise of vaccine skepticism in America to show how we got here and where we're going. There are forces that have been working behind the scenes to erode our trust vaccines. Today, their message has gone mainstream and it threatens our ability to fight
the coronavirus. We need everybody to release their fear from their brains, get rid of their masks, goes so hug people and absolutely say no. Doubt launches on Mark Subscribe to Prognosis today on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your PODCASTEA
