Recently, the World Health Organization identified Vaccine Hesitancy as one of the top 10 health risks to humanity. This decline of respect for evidence-based medicine is one of the reasons that I felt compelled to start this podcast. In this podcast I review some of the misconceptions and falsehoods that spread on the internet and contribute to this meme. I present the rational argument in favour of vaccinations and I argue that a gentle approach to fearful parents will win the most support. Many parents do not have the necessary statistical and scientific background to see through the haze of misinformation surrounding this issue. They do not trust 'big pharma' and are falling victim to the demonization of expertise that we are all witnessing. These people are lost, and need a clear voice of reason to lead them out of the darkness into the light.  Please listen to my podcast and learn the facts. Let's try to eliminate ignorance as one of humanity's biggest health risks.
