Episode 1 – Misinformation FAQs
In this first pilot episode, Owl & Badger tackle some of the misleading vaccine FAQ answers found on the yourneighbour.org website.
The following FAQ answers are challenged in the podcast:
- The vaccine was developed too quickly – how can it be safe?
- Has anyone died from receiving the vaccine?
- Will we be able to go back to our normal life if I’m vaccinated?
- The vaccine doesn’t even stop Covid, why should I get it?
- I don’t trust this government…
- What about the vaccine passport? The government is making us all get the vaccine.
- Do vaccines contain foetal cells?
- Is this a big pharmaceutical companies’ strategy for increasing profit?
