It was a real treat spending time with @StevenAustad and @sjayolshansky and talking #longevity and a most unusual bet.

If Donald Trump wins another term in the White House, he'll be 78 years old when it starts. That would make him the 2nd oldest president after Biden, who turns 80 on Sunday. @sjayolshansky and ageism activist @thischairrocks discuss on #Banfield.

How Vaccines Work (5)
•Vaccines work best when we all coordinate together to eliminate the risk.
•The Tigers are COVID variants, vaccines are closed doors, and when the tigers leave town – that’s called herd immunity.

How Vaccines Work (4)
•The people at immediate risk are those that leave their doors open – jeopardizing their own health and that of their families, but by not working together as a group they place the entire village in jeopardy.
#vaccines
How Vaccines Work (3)
•If anyone chooses to leave their doors open, the tigers stay in town and search for others that have left their doors open.
#vaccines
How Vaccines Work (2)
•Imagine you live in a village with thousands of other people, and hungry tigers comes into town looking for food. If everyone is aware that tigers are on the loose and they coordinate together to close all of their doors, the tigers leave town.

How Vaccines Work (1)
•Vaccines protect people who receive them by training your immune system to recognize a viral invader and destroy it before it harms you.
•Vaccines are most effective when we work together to protect each other.
