I’m Kara Swisher, and you’re listening to “Sway.” A couple of weeks ago, I finally got something I’ve been wanting to get for a long time: my coronavirus vaccine shot. I felt so relieved and victorious, but the elation quickly was dimmed by all the new questions I had. How will this vaccine change my day-to-day life? Can I visit my friends? Do I still have to wear my mask? Can I travel? Over a year into the pandemic, there are still so many unknowns. Have we learned enough to keep new variants at bay, or are we doomed to repeat our past mistakes? When is this going to end? To get some answers to all of these pressing Covid questions, I needed to talk to an epidemiologist. You know, someone whose job it is to actually study and try to prevent pandemics from happening, if only we listen to them? So I called one up: Michelle A. Williams, dean of the T.H. Chan School of Public Health at Harvard.
