Long Shot: This is one of the best podcasts I've heard. It goes through the history of vaccines and talks about how we just happened to luck out and quickly get a vaccine during the pandemic because of some research that had been going on for 10 years or more. If we hadn't been doing that, it could have been much longer. The podcast has a limited number of episodes and they're chronological, so it's not a huge commitment. #forkiversepodcasts

Long Shot

Driven by a pandemic unprecedented in our lifetimes —a virus that has killed our neighbors, our friends, our families—we are witnesses to the massive international effort to create COVID-19 vaccines and get shots in arms. The vaccines were developed in record time, but they evolved from centuries of experimentation and science. “LONG SHOT: THE 250-YEAR JOURNEY TO THE COVID-19 VACCINES” travels back in time to the long-forgotten first inoculators and connects them to the research, methods, and people behind today's vaccines.
