Description

AstraZeneca, Moderna and Pfizer have become the new buzz words of our generation and may be the top contenders for conversation at awkward family dinners. COVID-19 vaccines might be saving us but they are also breaking down friendships and families as difficult, polarizing conversations crop up around the efficacy or safety of these vaccines. On today’s episode, we get a crash course on vaccine hesitancy and how to talk to those we love about the “V-word.” Guest: Maya Goldenberg, associate professor of philosophy at the University of Guelph and author of the book “Vaccine Hesitancy: Public Trust, Expertise, and the War on Science.”  If you would like to support the journalism of the Toronto Star, you can subscribe at thestar.com/subscribingmatters.
