Please bring this informative and interesting podcast back. It was excellent and we have more to learn. I am a current subscriber and still i want The Jab podcast. Many thanks.

Sorry, but this COVID epidemic is not over! You need to come back ASAP.

Such informative, thorough, thoughtful content on this global issue. I learn so much from every episode.

If you want to get beyond the headlines and understand the state of world thinking in vaccine strategy, this is the podcast you want. Definitely worth your time and can’t wait for the next episode!

Reliable, reputable, and often fascinating. Like everything else from Economist radio, it’s full of important information in a friendly format.

A unbiased fact based news source for anything COVID 19. Enjoy the slightly playful flavour too.

I love the diversity of science topics this podcast digs into, from COVID to aliens to AI. I binge-listened to the whole backlog of episodes and now look forward to each week.

This is one of the few podcasts I actually learn something from each time I listen. It’s good to hear what is happening in the EU and UK.

Mostly rehashing old news, especially - if one regularly seeks news from various sources. A lot of opinion, very little “science”. And adding a pitch to subscribe to E cheapened the seriousness of the message. Surely you can mount an aggressive drive for new subscribers without interjecting crass commerce into the middle of a very serious subject. I am a subscriber, you can do better. Israel, few people, quick vaccine, who would have guessed. How about other small wealthy countries, have they done as well. If so, the main takeaway is to have few people. Such a comparison of similar countries would be news and science and truly identify if Israel is a true model, maybe so, maybe not, we just don’t know with current reporting.

Hello, I find this narrative that skeptics are only uneducated, republican, or black. I am 30 years old, a women of color, I hold a bachelors degree in Economics, and an MBA. I make well over $50,000, I am VERY liberal. I would consider myself more of a socialist. I believe in science and medicine. However, I am not jumping to get this vaccine. Especially when you look at the data. Are any of surprised that women are mostly effected? I am skeptical of women being protected. I have not contracted covid19, I work from home. I am very healthy. Aren’t are bodies built to fight this off? I also don’t get the flu vaccine each year, and don’t get the flu. I understand vaccines help with herd immunity and protecting our elders. But who is protecting me? Who is looking out for the women that already face so many other safety challenges in this mans world?

A show that purports to be about science has devolved into a Brexit-fueled, lie-packed assault on the EU. If you need any proof of thing, give the first half of the March 22nd episode a listen. This section could have come straight from the producers of Fox News. And it effectively mirrored Boris Johnson’s assertion in the same week that it is the “greed” of the UK that is saving it from the pandemic. Absolutely disgusting and shameful.

I really like the worldwide dive regarding vaccinations, variants (development of boosters, etc) We are world travelers and would be very interested on attempt for global passport.

Gives an amazing, very informative, realistic global view of Covid.

Love the hosts so far, & the musical section is a beautiful touch. I hope you keep focusing on the issues of equity in healthcare & vaccine administration!!

We believe!

Like other Economist podcasts, this is an informative dense podcast full of informative material.

Excellent information clearly and concisely presented. And there’s an energy and humanness to the presentation. An outstanding public service. Thank you.

As a physician specializing in infectious diseases for 45 years, I commend this new podcast to anyone wanting to learn about SARS-CoV2 immunization. Each presentation is scientifically accurate but perhaps more importantly grounded in economic and contextual realities. And of course there is the joy that that one expects from hearing good Economist writing. Give a listen! Mark S Drapkin MD Brookline MA

I’ve been looking forward to this podcast and the maiden episode did not disappoint.

Good luck.

We need this podcast more than ever. As disinformation spreads faster than Covid, this is a syringe full of truth.
