Amitabha Palmer is a wrestler, judoka, and teaches at ethics at Texas University. His research topics include how widespread conspiracism and science denialism affect democratic policy making.
Ami has been on the podcast before (on episode 325, Wrestling with Trust, Propaganda and Conspiracies) and was so insightful that I was thrilled to have him back.
The focus of today’s conversation was how to talk to the vaccine hesitant, and how you can figure out what to believe in a world filled with conflicting information.
Check out 3 the articles Ami wrote for this episode
- Vaccine Skeptics are Pro Vaccine: Moral Arguments. An article written for those who have friends or family that have been mislead by anti-vaccine propaganda but aren’t yet fully indoctrinated.
- Vaccine Skeptics are Pro Vaccine: Moral Arguments Part 2. A deeper dive into medical ethics of vaccine exemptions.
- The Rational, The Reasonable, and Covid-19 Vaccine Policy. What vaccine policy could everyone endorse regardless of their demographic group, their age group, their access to healthcare, or medical status?
