-There is a social media post doing the rounds that the Delta Variant is caused by vaccines being administered, is this true?
- Most vaccines go through years of testing, why has the cCOVID-19 vaccine been developed so much quicker and are we sure that in years to come there won't be side effects because of this quick development.

Take a listen as he answers all these extensively.
