What good is a vaccine people don’t trust? Immunologist and TED Fellow Kizzmekia Corbett co-developed the first COVID-19 vaccine to enter clinical trials — but she says making the vaccine was never the hardest part. The real obstacle is the gap between scientists and the people who have honest questions about the shots they’re being asked to take. She shares a refreshing approach for taking on vaccine inquisitiveness and ensuring that humanity is ready for the next pandemic. (Recorded at TED2026 on April 15, 2026)

Flu vaccine is scam…

Didn’t listen to anything she said. Flu virus 🦠 continues to mutate hence why we need shots every year

@julandazachary2776 how long have humans been around, not vaccinated, with the flu around, naturally building immunity.
Huh. Interesting.

@letsgoebeyondDo you know what variolation / inoculation is?
@julandazachary2776
July 6, 2026 at 3:37 pm
Variolation/ inoculation proceeds vaccinations. You should look up Cotton Mathers and a west African slave named Onesimus. Humans used this method to fight against smallpox because a 50% chance is better than dead. Vaccines efficacy is around high 90’s to 85% on most vaccines. Flu shot is around 60%. This shows vaccinations are highly effective.

@letsgoebeyondnatural immunity is 50% efficacy lol

40% of all research is invalid. Science is political and can be corrupted. Two examples climate change and renewable energy The CDC completely screwed up their response to the virus. IT didnt help to have president who was o impaired he couldnt function.

@jageo48

*TRUST?* insists on allowing alternate scientific narratives. The old _expert opinion_ is the lowest rung of the scientific validation ladder. It was extensively used in C-19. There were no peer-reviewed meta-analyses of data. Even now, years later, no country I am aware of has stated categorically that C-19 was transported by air, not on hands or clothing. All info points to the US paying a Chinese lab to engineer a virus for wartime purposes that either escaped the lab or was intentionally released.

Look into to First Principles of virology. Go all the way back to the beginning. It’s not a science as they claim.

Ma’am, what part of vax injury and death do you not get?? This is disgustingly inappropriate and condescending at this time of mourning.

Please show us the evidence of any such injury!

@julandazachary2776please understand that if there’s a next time your fears and demands costs others their lives, you’ll be stopped dead in your tracks on the way to hide your face behind a mask. Best you get a booster in light of the cognitive dissonance you exhibit — for the safety of the rest of us and apparently …yourself. Next please!

When did TEDtalks get good again? I thought I was done with this channel.
@Avarice7D
July 6, 2026 at 11:41 am
listen, I understand logically that there is no way a virus that is dead can make me sick. I also know from personal experience that every time I get a flu shot or any vaccine shots within a month or so I get extremely sick. Same as when I got my mil. vaccine shots, super sick afterwards. If i chose to not get a vaccine shot one year, I wouldn’t get sick that year. So I learned to hate vaccines. I know logically this can’t be, but the evidence from reactions in my own body tells me something is happening. Can you explain what’s going on or why this happens and is it possible for a person’s immune system to kill them, from a reaction to a vaccine? cause it sure felt like I was there with 104 deg. temps, to delirium, and throwing up. Basically, what’s really going on when you get a vaccine to when your body makes the antidote? I would watch a video like that and maybe get another vaccine next year.

You may be allergic to a comical in the vaccine. Get the tama flu.

Sorry to hear that.
@Avarice7D
July 6, 2026 at 1:12 pm
Everybody’s allergies are different so that maybe a possibility. I’m allergic to a substance that heals most people. So there could be something to that.

People in general didn’t have trouble with the shot. They had trouble with what the government and media did with the shot.. It changed the lives of hundreds of millions of people for the worse.. Lost business and lifestyle changes..That most have never fully recovered from. Or was it just a power grab by government agencies.??
@linkdude64
July 6, 2026 at 11:56 am
Here in Los Angeles the flu shot had a negative efficacy rate lol you were 25% MORE likely to get the flu. Your self-aggrandizing and condescension is losing me.

Great point. Changing definitions without telling anyone is a major red flag.

They are the newest of vaccine technology. Stop spreading misinformation
@polygon2744
July 6, 2026 at 4:56 pm
@julandazachary2776 The classification of this technology as a “vaccine” emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Regulatory definitions were updated to accommodate these drugs under existing vax frameworks, which have low safety and approval standards compared to traditional pharmaceutical drugs. Who’s spreading misinformation.
@julandazachary2776
July 6, 2026 at 5:03 pm
@polygon2744vaccine Technology is proper scientific usage for over 30yrs. Science and technology work in tandem. Now you can concede.

One issue is, this is a somewhat complex immune therapy issue and the average American reads/understands on a 5th or 6th grade level. You may as well be trying to explain String Theory to Floyd the barber.

These morons in chat will inject black market peptides, eat horse paste, and turn into a porcupine via accupuncture, but question the most studied and tested vaccines. It’s truly incredible. Natural selection can’t work faster! 😭
@Larissa-x6u5j
July 6, 2026 at 5:53 pm
Why are y’all worried about who is getting what ? If your shots work for you and make you feel safe great but no one should be pressured into putting things into their body they’re not comfortable with that’s what pro choice is about you choose what works for yourself and your body right ? people really need to mind their own business .
@rikachiu
July 6, 2026 at 6:16 pm
@Larissa-x6u5j Because we need to create herd immunity and protect those who are immunocompromised AND prevent new diseases to further mutate forcing us to go back to the drawing boards to create another vaccine when we could have nipped the original disease in the butt!
For vaccines to work fully as intended requires the collaboration of every human!
