Are you pro-vax? Anti-vax? Somewhere in between? No matter where you land, this episode will challenge you.

In part one of this powerful two-part series, we take an unflinching look at the extremes on both sides of the vaccine debate. Drawing on years of research including product inserts, scientific literature, medical ethics, and firsthand conversations with experts and affected families, we break down what each side gets right… and where both fall dangerously short.

You’ll learn:

Why oversimplified “safe and effective” messaging is losing public trust

The truth about financial conflicts of interest among science influencers

How anti-vax purity culture and conspiracy overreach hurt the cause

The danger of all-or-nothing thinking, from either direction

The weaponization of personal stories on both sides

How to make space for nuance in polarizing times

This episode isn’t about picking a side. It’s about moving beyond tribalism to something more honest, more grounded, and more reflective of what people actually feel.

If you’re tired of the binary, ready to think critically, and open to reclaiming conversation from extremes, this one’s for you. Stay tuned for part two, where we introduce the solution to this problem!
