Dr Anti-Vax explores how anti-vaxxers went from fringe to mainstream: and the man who started it all
Tortoise Media is to launch its latest podcast, Dr Anti-vax, a three-part series to be released on Tortoise Investigates exploring how the anti-vaccination conspiracy infiltrated mainstream life, and the beguiling man who started it all.
Hosted by Alexi Mostrous, the reporter behind chart-topping hit podcasts Sweet Bobby and Hoaxed, Dr Anti-vax tells the story of Dr Andrew Wakefield, the British doctor who sparked a global vaccine panic 25 years ago, and inspired the modern day anti-vax movement in the US.
Spurred on by the Covid-19 pandemic and amplified by celebrities, billionaires, and politicians, anti-vaxxers have gone from the fringes of public life to the centre of the culture wars that divide America and many other countries.
The series investigates the fall and rise of Wakefield and the emergence of key players who have turned anti-vax feeling into a money-spinner and a vote winner.
