In this episode, Dr. Stuart Shanker puts judgment aside and attempts to understand the dynamics that the Anti-Vax movement has created. He explores this topic by reviewing its history, social, emotional, and health implications.
Dr. Shanker explains how people of all sides of any debate can become more curious, listen and understand each other better by reaching the blue-brain state that allows for learning to occur.
The College of Physicians of Philadelphia published a great piece on this “History of Anti-Vaccination Movements”:

Leon Seltzer made an interesting point in this regard: “I regard most shameless behaviour as a cover-up for deeper feelings of shame, which the individual is either too scared or too defended to confront.”

In this episode, Dr. Stuart Shanker discusses the impact global events such as the pandemic have on our emotional state, sense of safety, and the toll they take on our overall wellbeing. Dr. Shanker also unpacks the early era of COVID and reflects on them by revisiting situations in the past that had a similar effect on society.
Dr. Stuart Shanker ties all these different events and concepts through the most consistent conflict society has to endure in modern times - messy science versus strong emotions.

Join Dr. Stuart Shanker as he explores the concept of freedom: what freedom really means and what allows us to truly be free. Dr. Shanker dives into the history of the concept of freedom as the ability to choose and discusses the link between the anti-vax movement, beliefs around personal freedoms and the Red-Brain epidemic.
Dr. Shanker then explains the brain-body response to constraint (or the removal of our freedoms), how this sends us into Red-Brain, limiting our ability to choose and how we as a society need to stay in Blue-Brain to maintain our ability to understand and work through the many challenges that we face today.
