In this episode, we discuss COVID-19 vaccine misinformation with Dr. Margarette Shegog, a family medicine physician in Northern California. We walk through the types of interactions she has with her patients and how she approaches discussions of COVID-19 risk vs the risk of COVID-19 protection measures such as vaccines, masking, and social distancing. We also discuss the relationship between current news headlines and the common questions/concerns patients express during medical appointments and what advice she has for patients when the science around COVID-19 is still in development. We end by discussing major medical misinformation spreaders such as Dr. Oz, Oprah, Fox News, etc. Full transcript can be found at https://lib.asu.edu/data/learning
