One in Four Americans would refuse a COVID-19 vaccine according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll.

'We need to be actively engaged in questioning what the algorithms do, what the results mean, and how inherent bias in the training set can affect the results,' says MIT Professor Bernhardt Trout. But it doesn't always work out that way.
