Best-of Edition: Looking back on the COVID-19 outbreak part 2

Vital Health Podcast

In this Best-Of edition of the Vital Health Podcast, we’re looking back on the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and discussions we had with statistician Miriam Sturkenboom and Ivor Cummings, both of whom, in very different ways, were at the center of COVID-19 as to the appropriate response to the pandemic.

Miriam Sturkenboom, who’s vaccine safety monitoring platform VAC4EU, found herself at the center of a tsunami of vaccine rollouts and safety studies in Europe, providing evidence to the European Medicines Agency and other public health bodies. This podcast was first broadcast in October of 2021.

Now an internet and social media legend, it’s likely you’ve stumbled onto Ivor Cummins dissecting the impact of the response to the pandemic with detailed graphs and analysis on YouTube or X (f/k/a Twitter). Before the COVID-19 era, Ivor was a biochemical engineer and had a large following as a presenter on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity on his popular website, ‘The Fat Emperor.’ The interview with Ivor was first broadcast in February of 2021.
