VACCINE is part of Transmission: A series of five Podcasts on Disease and Pandemics in a Distorted World (2021), a podcast series by Ines Doujak and John Barker on the history of pandemics.

The ferret and the prisoner play an unrequited role and victory is wrongly claimed. The armies of the world see bio-weapons and bio-defence but the virus born in deranged landscapes and encouraged by incontinent trade knows no borders. Vaccine promises play the stock market and promise that we do not need to change our ways.

Voices of Serena Swanson, Marina Vishmidt and Danny Hayward Music composed by Volkmar Klien and performed by Wientaler Dreigesang (Christine Gnigler, Lorina Vallaster, Joachim Rigler)
Song lyrics by Barker & Doujak Jingle by Maja Osojnik Sound editing, mixing, and mastering: Michael Jellasitz
