RTBS 01 05: “The Needle Has Landed: Vaccine Science and Anti-Vaccine Activism, Past and Present.”
Manage episode 242400509 series 2545581
As vaccine fever runs high, UHC Brackenridge fellow Lo Reese joins Emma, Jake, and Jeff in the studio for a discussion about vaccines and the people who fear them, from the early days of smallpox vaccination to the present day of discredited anti-vaccine “experts” and “conspiracy cruises.” In an episode likely to lose us Jessica Biel and Jenny McCarthy as listeners, we delve into the science, culture, and spin around inoculation, with side- journeys into Dr. Seuss, herpes viruses, ethically-questionable vaccine trials, the surprisingly deep and international history of vaccination, and even a bit of spontaneous human combustion.
