About this listen
Winkler residents Henry Wiebe and Adina Hamm speak with CBC’s Rosanna Hemple about their concerns following a measles exposure warning at the Manitoba city's Superstore. Winkler Mayor Henry Siemens shares his thoughts on the importance of clear communication during the outbreak.
Also on the podcast today: Dr. Peter Hotez, a leading American pediatrician, virologist and globally recognized vaccine expert, is in Winnipeg for a series of talks at the University of Manitoba. Named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in global health in 2024 and co-nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, Hotez played a pivotal role in developing a low-cost, patent-free COVID-19 vaccine. CBC host Marcy Markusa sits down with him to discuss his work, the challenges of public health communication and the viral moment when he declined an invitation from podcaster Joe Rogan to debate vaccine science.
