We sat down with Morton to discuss his segment on the the scientists looking for new, natural sources of antibiotic compounds to stop superviruses before we're hit with a global pandemic.

We're now deep into the third season of our show VICE on HBO.

We just aired a new episode where host Thomas Morton investigated the rise of superviruses immune to our antibiotics and the scientists searching deep into the jungle for new, natural sources of antibiotic compounds before our world is hit with a global pandemic. We sat down with Morton to debrief the episode. Check it out above.
