A vaccine is the world's best hope of overcoming the covid-19 pandemic

More than 20 vaccines are in development, globally...

...but as scientists move closer to success...

Possible breakthrough in the development...

A growing number of people say they won't take a vaccine

I don't want to inject anything like this into my body

This is linked to declining trust in scientific experts and political leaders...

...problems brought into even sharper focus by the pandemic...

Anybody who has trusted the president has been lied to...

...and many people like my dad have paid with their life

This crisis of trust could have catastrophic consequences

So, what can be done to rebuild trust in vaccines...

...and to protect the world from future disasters?

All vaccine advocates need to be more tech savvy

We have science and evidence and right and fact on our side

This is the front line in the race to find a covid-19 vaccine

Professor Jonathan Heeney is one of those leading the charge

It has very much been a race against time...

...and sometimes I wish time could stand still

The professor has been developing vaccines for over 25 years

Now we have representatives of those viruses...

...that are closely related to SARS-1 or SARS-2

...which has brought the world to its knees, feels different

I do know people who've had covid and it's a terrible, terrible death

This project in Cambridge is about to begin clinical human trials...

If we don't have a vaccine, we will be stuck in this lifestyle of isolation...

...social distancing, masks for a long, long time

For a vaccine to immunise populations effectively against covid-19...

...around 70% of people need to be willing to take it

If only part of the population is onboard...

...we're never going to bring this virus to its knees...

...polls suggest that persuading people to take vaccines...

...may be as difficult as producing them in the first place

Many of these protesters belong to a growing minority...

...would actually be harmful to their health

Do I worry about vaccinations, this one in particular?

...and I know I want to have my choice...

...and I don't want to inject anything like this into my body...

Some here see a vaccine as part of a wider government conspiracy...

Many of these people have lost trust in their government

I call it covid bollocks, what do you call it?

And we will not give up until we get the truth

We're not going to stand for being lied to by our governments...

They want us to trust but we can't trust them

The views being expressed here are extreme and belong to a minority

The proportion of the global population opposed to vaccines generally...

But anti-vaxxers, as they are often called...

...are a vocal minority and their views are increasingly...

A poll carried out in America in September...

...found that only 36% of adults said they would take a vaccine...

...with 64% saying they wouldn't take one or weren't sure

In another survey under four-fifths of people...

...in 16 countries responded positively to the idea...

...of taking a covid-19 vaccine, if proven safe and effective

In the context of covid, I think empathy is absolutely crucial

Professor Heidi Larson is an anthropologist...

...and a leading expert on why significant sections...

...of the global population feel hesitant about vaccines

She says a failure to confront the root causes of “vaccine hesitancy”...

...is driving more of these people towards anti-vaccination views

The majority of the public that is questioning...

These are people who have genuine questions...

...but are feeling they're not getting their answers...
