From mandates for health care workers, to vaccine requirements for teachers, to rules making you show proof of vaccine to eat at a restaurant, California is on an all-out push to convince more people to get the COVID-19 vaccine. However, still about a quarter of Californians have not yet gotten even one shot, leading to criticism from those who have, that the unvaccinated are selfish and stubborn and falling victim to misinformation about the vaccines. There are still many people for whom the vaccine is not easily accessible, or they are more likely to consume and be deceived by that misinformation. For more on this, KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising and Jeff Bell, as well as KCBS Radio's political reporter and host of this segment, Doug Sovern, spoke with Dr. Karen Lincoln, an associate professor and senior scientist at the USC Edward R. Roybal Institute on Aging at the Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
