We're back with another apolitical science episode! Dr. Preeyam Patel (PhD in immunology) and Eric follow up their initial episode (8 of this podcast) and the supplemental vaccine talk (of episode 12) to update listeners on how much of the information previously discussed is still accurate (spoiler: it's 100%!) and talk about the latest questions emerging from COVID-19 across the globe.

- How long do antibodies last?
- Will COVID variants increasinly get more deadly and worse as time goes on?
- What if COVID mutated as fast as influenza / the common flu?
- from beach balls to proton packs, Dr. Patel has no trouble explaining heavy concepts to a captive Eric.
- We discuss variants B117 and 501.v2, what gives them an edge, and whether they're actually more deadly or infectuous than other COVID.
- ONCE you are vaccinated, can you still transmit the virus to others?
- What's the deal with COVID reinfection?
- We deep dive into the 5 major vaccines getting approval and trials across the globe
- a summary of what went wrong with AstraZeneca's trials in the UK
