Let's Talk About the V-word: Vaccinations

In this episode, we take a deeper delve into education, trauma-informed pedagogy, our carceral classrooms and transformative justice.      Our Guest: Dr. Arash Daneshzadeh was born in Tehran, Iran, and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is the National Chair for Save The Kids from Incarceration, a national nonprofit focused on prison abolition and school-sanctioned violence, and co-edited a textbook on the topic of youth punishment entitled Understanding, Dismantling, and Disrupting the Prison-To-School Pipeline. For the past five years, Arash has taught classes on organizing movements in the Graduate School of Education at the University of San Francisco. For the past 7 years, he has taught in the Prison University Project at San Quentin State Penitentiary.    Twitter: @A_Daneshzadeh email: [email protected]   New Books on Academic Research: Hip Hop Activism (2021); What do we mean by restorative?: A qualitative analysis of a restorative justice program's impact upon Black girls at an urban high school in California (2021); Hip Hop & Dismantling the School-To-Prison Pipeline (2020); Understanding, Dismantling, and Disrupting the Prison-to-School Pipeline (2017)  

In this episode, we spend almost an hour with Dr. Syed T. Hoda. He is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at NYU where he is a practicing pathologist. Beyond this, he is a fantastically exciting thinker, a father, an artist, and a lot funnier than I thought he would be.  We discuss creativity in medicine, the suppression of individuality, COVID-19 & conjunctivitis, the sound of images, Dr. Kimberly Manning and BST Mode, and soooo much more.   Stick around until the end for a little behind the scenes of what making a podcast is really like. I hope you enjoy the episode.    Links you need to Enhance the Podcast Listening Experience: We referenced this black and white photo in New York - https://twitter.com/01sth02/status/1433222641645756417?s=21 Dr. Hoda Twitter page -https://twitter.com/01sth02 Dr. Hode Instagram Page - https://www.instagram.com/syed.forever/    

In this episode, we bring Twitter spaces to you. Recently we had an excellent conversation with Dr. Boghuma Titanji (infectious disease specialist, HIV researcher, and prominent scientific speaker) and Ed Nirenberg (founder of deplatformdisease.com). We did a really comprehensive update on COVID-19.  In addition, we answer your questions about COVID-19 in real-time.   It's a long conversation, but definitely worth it.

In this episode, we sit down with Edward Nirenberg and discuss the history, safety, efficacy, and controversy of vaccines.   Unfortunately, this is a complex topic with a great deal of history and politicization. So take a deep breath and listen carefully.   If you have a degree in biology or have a background in science then feel free to jump straight to the podcast. If not --- STOP! Please consider watching and listening to a few resources below to familiarize yourself with vaccine science to understand the content. We cover a lot of topics, but an hour is not enough time to go into this topic so I have tons of resources for reference.   Guest: Edward Nirenberg Twitter: @ENirenberg Website: https://www.deplatformdisease.com/   Pre-Podcast Resources Explaining how the virus actually works. https://twitter.com/bbcmorninglive/status/1336970725878587392?s=21   Overview of Vaccines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMc3vL_MIeo&ab_channel=JAMANetwork   Annals on Call - Podcast on Vaccines - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/annals-on-call-podcast/id1424411912?i=1000499993297   Post Podcast Resources - Deeper Dive into Vaccines https://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/ https://vaxopedia.org/ https://www.voicesforvaccines.org/content/uploads/2016/02/Vax-Hesitant-Loved-Ones-Toolkit.pdf https://respectfulinsolence.com/ https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/   References Dr. Kimberly Manning Article - More than Medical Mistrust Twitter link - https://twitter.com/gradydoctor/status/1324762224192331778?s=20 Lancet Link: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)32286-8/fulltext   Data on Durability of Vaccine response - https://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJMc2032195?articleTools=true   The Atlantic Article: Myth Busting Can Back-Fire https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/12/vaccine-myth-busting-can-backfire/383700/   Examining the why of vaccine hesitancy https://twitter.com/mariasundaram/status/1336018509504143366?s=21   Countries that have essentially eradicated COVID-19 https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/davidmack/countries-without-coronavirus-no-covid   Heard Immunity - https://t.co/LRR5itC7pf End Coronavirus - https://www.endcoronavirus.org/countries
