COVID-19 gave rise to vaccine skepticism. That may affect our preparedness for the next pandemic

NPR  

COVID-19 gave rise to vaccine skepticism. That may affect our preparedness for the next pandemic SARAH MCCAMMON, HOST: Americans have become more polarized about vaccines in the five years since the COVID-19 pandemic began. NPR's Jude Joffe-Block reports on the challenge this poses to combating public health threats. Motta traces a direct line from Trump's comments five years ago to public opinion trends that persist to this day. Recently, the Trump administration slashed funding for research on vaccine hesitancy, and scientists fear research on the same mRNA technology, which was used in the leading COVID vaccines, could be next.
