Are Vaccine 'Cocktails' A Good Idea?

As England plans to drop most restrictions after July 19, over 100 scientists and medics, including Indian-origin experts, issued a joint letter, calling this a "dangerous and unethical" experiment of ending all legal lockdown restrictions.

Our expert panelists put forth their opinion.
