Harm Reduction with Dr Taylor Nichols and TikTok's Nurse Emma. S4E1
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.

S3 E5 Susan Former Antivax Insider Turned Provaccine
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. You can find her on twitter (X) @SuzieQT11. https://twitter.com/SuzieQT11

Desiree Townsend AKA The Flu Shot Cheerleader
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.

S3 E3 Back to the Vax. Vaccine Fears Overturned by Facts. Booklet Review and Chat with Dr Rose, PhD Immunologist
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!
