Viruses, Vaccines, and Skepticism

What is a virus? Are they alive? Are vaccines safe? Can we trust the COVID-19 vaccines?

They also go over topics such as the paleohistory of viruses, the history of vaccines, analyze the  anti-vaxx movement (past, present, and future), and go over some FAQs regarding COVID-19 and vaccines in general.
