Listen now | Are the unvaccinated entitled, deprived, or just misunderstood? What would be a more effective way of controlling the COVID pandemic—shame or providing healthcare for all? (Or both?)I talked with Eula Biss, author of On Immunity: An Inoculation, for this week’s Racket podcast. We went deep into the long history of debates over inoculation (debates that started even before the first vaccine was invented!), the power of conversation, and our own experiences vaccinating our respective kids. Also discussed in this episode: “The Unvaccinated May Not Be Who You Think” by Zeynep Tufekci | Who’s afraid of the vaccine mandate” (The Racket) | Having and Being Had by Eula BissGangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, The Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America’s Empire by Jonathan M. Katz | Historian Farren Yero
Fantastic interview and conversation!! Gave me lots to consider in having conversation with others on this topic.
