Episode 131 hosts Professor Nigel Crawford, a vaccine-specialist based in Melbourne, Australia.
Professor Crawford acts in a number of key positions for vaccine safety including: - Member of ATAGI (Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation) & Chair of the COVID-19 Working Group
- Medical Head of Immunisation Services at The Royal Childrens Hospital, Melbourne
- Director of SAEFVIC (Surveillance of Adverse Events Following Vaccination in the Community)
- Director of the Melbourne Vaccine Education Centre
In this special episode we cover the entire spectrum of how and why COVID-19 vaccinations are being used in the fight against the ongoing pandemic.
We explore:
- which ones are available in Australia and how the mechanism of these differs?
- what exactly an mRNA vaccine is vs more traditional vaccinations and are these safe?
- what a spike protein is exactly and whether it's dangerous to deliberately make these within our cells?
- how multiple different vaccines were developed in several countries so quickly and whether there are any safety concerns to be worried about?
- the side effects with COVID-19 vaccines and also find out more about the rare risk of atypical unusual clots ('TTS') with the Astra Zenica vaccination
- why Australia has been slower to vaccinate, vaccine hesitancy and the 'anti-vax' perspective
- are the vaccinations are safe in pregnant women, can they cause infertility or even auto-immune disease?
- what the future holds for Australia and how we might end the current lock downs
