On this episode of My Problematic Past, Lucy & Elise dive into the anti-vax movement.
In the first half of the episode (00:00-27:00 minutes), your hosts explore the history of vaccines in the U.S. and the rise of the anti-vax movement. They talk polio, the Cutter incident, “DPT: Vaccine Roulette,” Dissatisfied Parents Together, Andrew Wakefield and The Lancet paper, thimerosal, anti-vax celebs, and RFK Jr.’s infamous Rolling Stone article, “Deadly Immunity.”
In the second half (27:00–1:29:00), your hosts interview pod favorite Ari and her mom, Julie. Julie shares what it was like raising Ari in a widely anti-vax town, choosing not to vaccinate her, and later being in the news for that decision. They talk about Ari getting vaccinated as an adult, how Julie’s views shifted during COVID, and RFK, Trump, and Plandemic.
