[Rerun] Vaccines are not effective without trust
There are three things that must be done before a vaccine can work. It must have a significant effect against the disease that it is to protect us against. It has to be secure, and then the people who are going to have to trust it. Without trust, it does not matter if there is a vaccine. But where does trust or mistrust of vaccines, health authorities and medical doctors come from? Who benefits from it, and what does it mean for society that we believe or mistrust the stories we are told?
Professor David Budtz Pedersen from Aalborg University talks to Science Journalist Jens Degett (in Danish) about the mechanisms that create either confidence or mistrust in vaccines.
