Are Vaccines Still Up For Debate?
Manage episode 503966044 series 2797646
Vaccines have saved millions of lives, but questions and doubts persist. We dig into the roots of vaccine hesitancy, the history of immunization, and the challenges of making informed choices in a world full of information (and misinformation). In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, we talk with Dr. Christopher Stobart about why vaccine skepticism isn’t new, how risk and trust shape our decisions, and what it really means to protect ourselves—and each other.
