Dan Wilson is an American molecular biologist, science communicator, and creator of the podcast Debunk The Funk, which focuses on vaccine science and addressing perceived misinformation. Dan joins Zuby to discuss all things Covid-19. The two kick things off by stating their positions, how to learn from those you disagree with, and the impacts of ‘anti-vax’ terminology. Dan explains his thoughts on social media platforms responsibilities in relation to pandemic information and Zuby explains his view on health dependent risk factors and how to view your decision matrix through this lens as it relates to vaccines. The two break down their views on mandates and the negative consequences they impose. This conversation explores the pandemic from different perspectives. We hope it will promote more healthy debate on the subject.
