WEBVTT - Introducing: Incubation

0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>What should I do if I don't want to get

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:04.800
<v Speaker 1>a cold?

0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Stay away from people all the time.

0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 1>We've heard so much about COVID in the past few years,

0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:17.120
<v Speaker 1>but humans have been living with viruses since the beginning. Smallpox, polio,

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:20.640
<v Speaker 1>the common cold, herpies, the flu. It's H five N

0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:22.760
<v Speaker 1>one two three four four B. It just rolls off

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:27.120
<v Speaker 1>the tongue right From Pushkin Industries and Ruby Studios at iHeartMedia.

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 1>This is Incubation, a podcast about the other viruses that

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>shape our lives. I'm Jacob Goldstein, and on this show

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>you'll hear how viruses attack us, how we fight back,

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:42.200
<v Speaker 1>and what we've learned in the course of those fights. Well,

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:45.800
<v Speaker 1>here why volunteers signed up to spend their vacations getting

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 1>colds at an abandoned hospital.

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:52.320
<v Speaker 2>The researchers would collect all their snotty tissues and try

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 2>and incubate and analyze the material in those snotty tissues.

0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>We'll learn how scientists have transformed our understanding of virus ruses.

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 3>There is just something about the way the virus was shaped.

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 3>It always felt like there was no hope for creating.

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>A vaccine until now. Until now, and we'll celebrate the

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>victories like the incredible story of how smallpox was wiped

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>off the face.

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 3>Of the planet.

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 4>Eradication means you have to get to whatever disease you're targeting, everywhere,

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 4>wherever it exists.

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Incubation is a show about humanity's struggle against the world's

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 1>tiniest villains.

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 4>It's mind bad, crazy, dangerous, so it's completely contraintuitive. The

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:42.319
<v Speaker 4>amazing thing is it did work.

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Join me every Thursday starting September seventh for Incubation, the

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 1>viral drama you won't want to miss.
