Imposing singular ideas without exploring or allowing consideration of other possibilities causes harm beyond anything I could ever have imagined. In my public health studies 20 years ago I learned about Dr Andrew Wakefield who was sold to us as a corrupt fraud. Through this year’s crisis I’ve heard him speak of his experiences and … More Mrs Doubt Pfizer

I have learned that the more someone understands viruses, epidemiology and outbreaks + the less they have to benefit from the fear narrative we have been so strongly convinced to follow, the more completely outrageous their views appear to the general public. Below features two of the growing number of people with the relevant expertise … More Speaking Truth to Power
In 2009 I had a very strange, quite traumatic work experience. I was part of a public health team who provided a local response to the Swine Flu (H1N1/09) pandemic.
