Regaining Trust through Education - Dr. Michael Whitt, University of Tennessee Health Science Center

“There is a lot of distrust for the medical profession, and certainly, for, I think, science in general,“ observes Dr. Michael Whitt. How to rebuild that trust? Dr. Whitt believes the answer is teaching. Join him in this episode of Raise the Line as he speaks with host Dr. Rishi Desai about vaccine development and his team's role in COVID vaccine testing, as well as best approaches and practices to fighting misinformation. Find out about the amazing developments that have been made over the past five years in vaccine technology, and the important part Dr. Whitt believes physicians should play in combatting fear and social weariness and rebuilding trust in science. Plus, learn about what it means for COVID to be with us for the long haul, and the challenge of messaging—here and across international borders—to get everyone working effectively toward the same goal.
