Vaxxed 04: Why do people say no to vaccines?

It’s our final episode on ‘Vaxxed’ and today, we’re joined by a special guest. Dr David Robert Grimes is a scientist and scientific communicator. His book, ‘The Irrational Ape’ looks at how we can all protect ourselves against misinformation by becoming critical thinkers. We’re going to talk about why we can develop strong but erroneous beliefs and what we might do about them.
