3 weeks ago
A podcast that explores the intersection of anti-vaccine beliefs, technology, and politics. We report on how misinformation, disinformation, and fake news are constructed and how they spread. We talk to researchers to find out how serious the threat of disinformation is, and how politics and politicians use antivaxx-views to score points with voters. We look for examples of people who successfully navigate misinformation. The show is hosted by Eva von Schaper and Daiva Repeckaite, journalists with two decades of reporting experience between them. You can sign up for our weekly newsletter, Inoculated, at www.theinoculation.com. Transcripts are available at www.theinoculation.com.How vaccination went from being a question of science to a question of beliefs and how this change will shape our future.

Who are the Doctors Who Spread Disinformation and Why Do They Do It?
As Dr. Oz loses his bid for a seat in the US Senate and the American Board of Internal Medicine moves to strip a falsehood-spreading doctor’s qualifications, we look at the phenomenon of medical doctors spreading COVID-19 disinformation on both sides of the Atlantic.
