Radiotherapy: Raina MacIntyre On 'A Vaccine Nation'

Epidemiologist, biosecurity expert and author Raina MacIntyre joins Panel Beater's team to discuss her new book Vaccine Nation, which confronts the dangerous rise of anti-science movements and the decline of vaccination rates around the world. She examines the backlash of vaccinations in the aftermath of the pandemic, and explores the implications of misinfomation surrounding them. Raina also shares her opinion on the reasoning behind societies growing hesitancy towards them, and delves into the pandemic's transformation into a 'taboo' topic.

"What we face now is a lot of misinfomation in the public space, particularly in social media, which makes it really hard for even doctors to separate fact from fiction."
