Los casos de coronavirus continúan aumentando a medida que la primera ronda de vacunas COVID llega a los estadounidenses. Este medicamento no solo ha traído una sensación de esperanza, sino también muchas preguntas. ¿Es realmente seguro después de un cronograma de desarrollo tan rápido? ¿Será realmente eficaz y durante cuánto tiempo? ¿Hay cuestiones éticas involucradas en la creación de las vacunas que los cristianos deberían conocer?

En su papel de director de los Institutos Nacionales de Salud, el Dr. Francis Collins supervisa al mayor promotor de la investigación biomédica en el mundo. También es un cristiano comprometido. En el podcast Today’s Conversation, escuchará al Dr. Collins y al presidente de NAE, Walter Kim, responder estas preguntas y más.
