Temperature screening has become a common Covid mitigation practice in many settings. But as noted by one of our viewers, this practice doesn’t seem that effective at face value. So should we be relying on temperature checks to help curb the spread of Covid-19, or is it just medical theater that distracts from more useful efforts?

We’ve scoured the data for you when it comes to Vitamin D supplements, coming up empty-handed almost every time. We know it doesn’t help with a variety of conditions, including those related to the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems. But what about mood?

As the vaccine to protect against Covid-19 continues to roll out to more and more people, interest in side effects is high. This can lead to lots of media coverage when people experience side effects, particularly when serious side effects occur. We're here to talk about side effects and put some of these stories in context, which will hopefully leave less room for disiformation and scare tactics to be part of the conversation.
