A podcast that explores the intersection of anti-vaccine beliefs, technology, and politics. We report on how misinformation, disinformation and fake news are constructed and how they spread. We talk to researchers to find out how serious the threat of disinformation is, and how politics and politicians use antivaxx-views to score points with voters. We look for examples of people who successfully navigate misinformation. The show is hosted by Eva von Schaper and Daiva Repeckaite, journalists with two decades of reporting experience between them.
