In this episode, we'll be discussing Anti-Vaxxers. I’ll first be reacting to common phrases and assumptions I hear anti-vaxxers speak about. Later, I’ll be looking at the situation through the lens of psychology.

1. An analogy that says it all for me
2. Freedom vs. egocentrism - What is the anti-vax attitude really about?
3. Opinions vs. facts - How they get dangerously mixed-up among anti-vaxxers
4. Taking personal decisions in a globalized world - Can you be an anti-vaxxer and shop at H&M?
5. Not trusting the government - A common attitude among anti-vaxxers. Can it keep up with reality?
6. Global pandemic vs. egocentric response
