Description

QAnon has gripped the fascination of many people in the country. People have been hanging on every cryptic post that Q would send to message boards and while many of the conspiracies and predictions of President Trump staying in power, mass arrests of politicians, and Satanists pulling the strings of the deep state have not come true, Q’s followers still persist. And what if one of those followers were in your family? For our first story, we will speak to Albert Samaha, investigative journalist and deputy editor at BuzzFeed News, about his struggles to get his own mother to stop believing in QAnon.




Next, good news as we may soon have another vaccine available to us. AstraZeneca and its partner, Oxford University, have released information about their clinical trials in the U.S. and found their vaccine is safe and prevents 79% of symptomatic cases of Covid-19. It also reduced severe cases and hospitalizations by 100%. There has been recent concern of blood clots associated with the vaccine in Europe, but the trials showed that no cases of that in the U.S. Karen Weintraub, health reporter at USA Today, joins us for more.
