Back to the Vax: A Journey Back to Evidence Based Medicine

Lydia Greene

WE ARE 2 FORMER ANTIVAX MOMS, ON A JOURNEY BACK TO EVIDENCE BASED MEDICINE. Heather Simpson is a mom who was popular in the antivax community as the mom who dressed as measles for Halloween, the least scary thing she could think of. She also made multiple viral antivax polls on facebook. Lydia Greene was an antivaxxer for 12 years and wrote a story on her journey to changing her mind, and bringing her 3 children up to date. She is now in nursing school to get into public health, to deal with vaccine hesitancy on the front lines. Intro music Easy Day by Crowander

Dr Taylor Nichols MD is board certified in emergency medicine and addiction.

Emma is my friend is an RN with experience in the ER. You can find her on tiktok and other social media platforms. She is hilarious and tactful.

I am very fond of both of them as we are all passionate about being healthcare advocates. As a recent nursing grad I wanted to pick their brains about harm reduction myths and facts.

Susan is a fellow former antivaxxer that would volunteer her time online, in real life at antivax events, and collected footage for a major antivax documentary. She was witness to how the movement and its leaders operate from the inside and wants to share her story. We discuss the cult like grip of the antivax movement and how difficult it is to leave it behind. Susan exposes the lies they tell and just how much they profit from the people who follow them.

Back to the Vax: A Journey Back to Evidence Based Medicine - S3 E3 Back to the Vax. Vaccine Fears Overturned by Facts. Booklet Review and Chat with Dr Rose, PhD Immunologist
play

05/30/23 • 60 min

I met Rose on Twitter (@rosepoptosis) when I joined back in 2020. She has a PhD in Microbiology & Immunology, & an MSc in Nutrition & Metabolism. She is a vaccine advocate and is passionate about addressing misinformation online. I have had the pleasure of meeting up with her for dinner a couple times while visiting the city and I consider her a good friend and a wealth of knowledge. I hope you enjoy her review of our booklet Vaccine Fears Overturned by Facts, and her addition of a trope that did not make it into the booklet. We also discuss cancer and autoimmune disease.

Enjoy!

Dr Alison Meek is a history professor focusing on cults, conspiracy theories, and extremism.

She teaches: #HIS2133 Cults/Terrorism #HIS2301 US Survey #HIS3308 Conspiracy Theories at Queens University

Laura (@Iamlevelingup on tiktok and now youtube) is a returning guest who left the crunchy life. We feel that leaving the crunchy antivax life was like leaving a cult and so we discuss the parallels with an expert in cult behaviour.

Apologies for my mic. I dont know why it was so tinny sounding.

Hieeeee! Crunchy antivax brigade, you can leave me all the one star reviews. I take them as a badge of honour. Byeeeeeee!

The TikTok algorithm brought me Laura. Her TikTok's display remarkable self-awareness and she has a good sense of humour about her past life. She is a formerly crunchy mom, and our stories have many parallels. If you are curious about the inner workings of the crunchy mind or are a recovering crunchy mom yourself, or are a crunchy mom that can not fathom anyone leaving the "best parenting style ever," this is worth a listen. We share our insights, crunchy motivations, and even laugh at some mistakes we made along the way.

Follow her on TikTok at iamlevelingup or lauraislevelingup.

You may recall her story back in 2009. I certainly did. I used it as an indictment on flu shots. Desiree's story went viral for being a cheerleader who developed neurological complications after a flu shot and could only walk backwards without them impeding her. She has seen the inside of the antivax world as a token and has lots to say about that today. She is now an advocate for flu shots and wants the world to be pandemic ready.
