Description: Renowned virologist Shane Crotty, PhD joins us again to address the most important COVID-19 questions: Should people who’ve been vaccinated or had COVID-19 continue to wear masks and physically distance? How will each vaccine hold up to the SARS-CoV-2 variants? What does the research say about people who’ve already had COVID-19 who get a vaccine? How long will immunity last for the vaccines or COVID-19 infection? Shane Crotty is a Professor at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology, Center for Infectious Disease and Vaccine Research, Crotty Lab. Prof. Crotty also has an academic appointment with the University of California San Diago. See his full bio here: lji.org/labs/crotty/#overview Prof. Crotty on Twitter: twitter.com/profshanecrotty Interviewer: Kyle Allred, Physician Assistant, Producer and Co-Founder of MedCram.com (This video was recorded on March 23, 2021) Just to clarify at 8:40 in the video: Prof. Crotty is describing a theoretical person when he says "I myself am comfortable getting infected..." He hasn't had COVID, and doesn't have that opinion. He was explaining one end of the spectrum of level of concern for individuals.
