- Suppose you are designing a study to determine whether a vaccine is effective. You recruit volunteers and then assign them into two groups. Which of the following is a better way to determine if the vaccine works in a wide variety of people? (a) Recruit people from a variety of backgrounds: different ethnicities, ages, sexes, etc... and then randomly form two groups. (b) Recruit people for the study who are very similar to one another, such as married nonsmoker female nurses in their forties who don't drink with no health problems and good incomes, then randomly form two groupsarrow_forwardGiven that many people are hesitant with vaccines, how will you fight anti-vaccine myth and misconception with scientific facts? How does vaccination refusal affect the community?arrow_forwardAs conversations about vaccines goes on around the various social media platforms,why would scientists want to study these conversations and what might they may be able to learn from these social networks?arrow_forward
- Beginning in the 1900s how/ where did scientists produce vaccines instead of depending on human bodies to directly produce it?arrow_forwardIt used to be that our only method of creating vaccines was to use dead or weakened pathogens.
