      Oct 8 2025
      In this episode of Echoes of Evidence, hosts Lillian Mutengu and Dr. Evelyn Gitau sit down with Prof. Omu Anzala, founder and first director of the KAVI Institute of Clinical Research at the University of Nairobi, to unpack the misconceptions and misinformation surrounding vaccine research and development. The conversation explores why certain misconceptions persist, how misinformation takes hold, and what it takes to separate fact from narrative in an age where falsehoods spread faster than ever. Prof. Anzala also reflects on how African communities can navigate these gray zones, how scientists respond when disagreements arise, and the strategies needed to build clarity and trust in science.
