Dr. John Swartzberg, clinical professor emeritus of infectious diseases at UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health, joins us again to take your calls on Covid-19. He talks about results from the Novavax vaccine study, who’s left out of herd immunity figures, how to talk to family members who refuse to get vaccinated against Covid, and more.

Mari Cohen of Jewish Currents addresses the ADL’s claims that anti-Semitism rose during protests in solidarity with Palestine. Read Mari’s piece here: A Closer Look at the ‘Uptick’ in Antisemitism
