Show Notes
Professor Peter Doherty is a Nobel laureate …a world-famous immunologist. He’s been called the David Attenborough of the Covid-19 pandemic. He’s patron of the Doherty Institute, which publishes predictions on what’s on the horizon in terms of the pandemic. The Institute operates under his name.
The 80-year-old has not been content to rest on his laurels….he’s decided to engage with anti-vaxxers on Twitter to dispel myths and propaganda.
Professor Doherty talks to us about what the future looks like post-Covid-19, what he’s learned from the pandemic….and how and why he’s waded into the Twitter swamp to wage war with internet trolls.
