What We Need to Know About Corona Virus Vaccines

February 10, 2021

A Corona Virus vaccine may soon be available. Each of us must decide whether to be vaccinated and, if so, which vaccine to choose and when to get the shot. Over the past year we have been bombarded with information, some good and some bad, regarding the virus and possible treatments and vaccines. To decide for ourselves, we should understand the risks and benefits of vaccination based upon the safety and efficacy profile of each vaccine and then make a personal decision regarding Corona Virus vaccination.

Presented by PLATO member, Michael Roy.  Michael studied infectious diseases for over 40 years developing vaccines for biopharmaceutical firms and federal agencies. This talk will introduce concepts of vaccine development and marketing approval, discuss the concept of measuring risk versus benefit, review reliable information regarding safety and efficacy profiles for current or pending Corona Virus vaccines and provide sources of trustworthy information readily available to consumers.

Exploring Art & History: Max Beckmann’s [Paris] Society
at Weimar’s End (1925, 1931, 1947)

January 27, 2021

Dr. Barbara (Suzy) Buenger, Professor Emerita of art history at UW-Madison, discusses Max Beckmann’s sardonic Society based on the March 1931 reception at the German Embassy in Paris that honored the opening of his first one-man exhibition in that city. The canvas was begun six years earlier, during the first flourishing of the Weimar Republic, as a depiction of Frankfurt high society at the moment Beckmann came to enjoy new professional and social prominence and prepared to marry an aristocrat. His painting is far more than just a satire of human interactions at the Paris reception; it reverberates with tensions of the world economic crisis and annus horribilis that uncoiled as he completed the work from June through late October 1931.
