Your vaccine questions deserve real answers | Kizzmekia Corbett | Your Body on Tech

What good is a vaccine people don't trust? Immunologist and TED Fellow Kizzmekia Corbett co-developed the first COVID-19 vaccine to enter clinical trials — but she'll tell you that making the vaccine was never the hardest part. The real obstacle is the gap between scientists and the people who have honest questions about the shots they're being asked to take. She shares a refreshing approach for taking on vaccine inquisitiveness and ensuring that humanity is ready for the next pandemic. And stick around after her talk for a deep dive conversation with our guest host for the week, author and podcaster Manoush Zomorodi, into the ideas she shared on stage and beyond. This is episode three of a seven-part series airing this week on TED Talks Daily , where Manoush — and the seven speakers she curated for TED2026 — explore how you can live a healthier life in our high-tech era.
