Today we chat with Edward Nirenberg, an immunology science communicator who found his calling working with vaccine hesitant parents on facebook and expanding his reach through a blog on substack called Deplatform Disease, and had a fun convo about what inspired him to get into science communication, the times we are currently in, figuring out new ways to reach those groups of folks who are genuinely lost in the confusion of misinformation and disinformation that have been weaponized by those who oppose vaccines in particular.  

We shout out the work of Katelyn Jetelina who was recently on the podcast Why Should I Trust You? with other leaders in public health who sat down with a group from the Make America Healthy Again movement.  https://www.whyshoulditrustyou.net/

And we discuss the moment of individualism that we are in instead of the moment of community.

Aimee and Toni duke it out again about Vicks vapor rub again LOL.
