The Deadly Effect of Anti-Science Conspiracies from the Far-Appropriate

In this episode of The New Abnormal, scientist and vaccine specialist Dr. Peter Hotez discusses the harmful strain of anti-vaccine rhetoric adopted by today’s appropriate-wing conservatives. He delves into the study that suggests this vaccine hesitancy, fueled by far-appropriate conspiracies, has contributed to the exclusive trajectory of American COVID-19 deaths more than the previous couple of years. Dr. Hotez emphasizes the significance of addressing this problem, as it has resulted in the deaths of a substantial quantity of Americans. He estimates that up to 200,000 Americans have been killed throughout the Delta and BA.1 Omicron waves due to men and women refusing vaccines soon after getting influenced by elected officials, far-appropriate media personalities, and conspiracy theories.

In addition to Dr. Hotez’s insights, labor reporter and author Kim Kelly joins the system to go over the ongoing United Auto Workers’ strike and other labor-associated news. The episode also delivers an evaluation of Kristen Welker’s debut on “Meet the Press,” such as her interview with former President Donald Trump.
