Michael Lemke joins host John Kingston to make his case for why drivers should be prioritized for the COVID-19 vaccine.
Michael Lemke is a former driver who now studies trucking and, in particular, drivers’ health from his position as a faculty member at a Houston university.
In a recently published paper, Lemke made the case that truck drivers should be much farther up the line to receive COVID-19 vaccinations. He joins Drilling Deep host John Kingston this week to lay out his case why he thinks drivers need to be a much higher priority to get a needle in their arms.
Also on the podcast, Kingston talks about how the rising diesel market is starting to come full circle and is approaching pre-pandemic levels.
