    Harm Reduction with Dr Taylor Nichols and TikTok's Nurse Emma. S4E1

    Dr Taylor Nichols MD is board certified in emergency medicine and addiction. Emma is my friend is an RN with experience in the ER. You can find her on tiktok and other social media platforms. She is hilarious and tactful. I am very fond of both of them as we are all passionate about being healthcare advocates. As a recent nursing grad I wanted to pick their brains about harm reduction myths and facts.

    S3 E5 Susan Former Antivax Insider Turned Provaccine

    Susan is a fellow former antivaxxer that would volunteer her time online, in real life at antivax events, and collected footage for a major antivax documentary. She was witness to how the movement and its leaders operate from the inside and wants to share her story. We discuss the cult like grip of the antivax movement and how difficult it is to leave it behind. Susan exposes the lies they tell and just how much they profit from the people who follow them. You can find her on twitter (X) @SuzieQT11. https://twitter.com/SuzieQT11

    Desiree Townsend AKA The Flu Shot Cheerleader

    You may recall her story back in 2009. I certainly did. I used it as an indictment on flu shots. Desiree's story went viral for being a cheerleader who developed neurological complications after a flu shot and could only walk backwards without them impeding her. She has seen the inside of the antivax world as a token and has lots to say about that today. She is now an advocate for flu shots and wants the world to be pandemic ready.

    S3 E3 Back to the Vax. Vaccine Fears Overturned by Facts. Booklet Review and Chat with Dr Rose, PhD Immunologist

    I met Rose on Twitter (@rosepoptosis) when I joined back in 2020. She has a PhD in Microbiology & Immunology, & an MSc in Nutrition & Metabolism. She is a vaccine advocate and is passionate about addressing misinformation online. I have had the pleasure of meeting up with her for dinner a couple times while visiting the city and I consider her a good friend and a wealth of knowledge. I hope you enjoy her review of our booklet Vaccine Fears Overturned by Facts, and her addition of a trope that did not make it into the booklet. We also discuss cancer and autoimmune disease. Enjoy!

    Back to the Vax S2 E7 Dr Alison Meek and Laura from @Iamlevelingup

    Dr Alison Meek is a history professor focusing on cults, conspiracy theories, and extremism.  She teaches: #HIS2133 Cults/Terrorism  #HIS2301 US Survey #HIS3308 Conspiracy Theories at Queens University Laura (@Iamlevelingup on tiktok and now youtube) is a returning guest who left the crunchy life. We feel that leaving the crunchy antivax life was like leaving a cult and so we discuss the parallels with an expert in cult behaviour.  Apologies for my mic. I dont know why it was so tinny sounding.  Hieeeee! Crunchy antivax brigade, you can leave me all the one star reviews. I take them as a badge of honour. Byeeeeeee! Lydia Greene
