Anti-vaxxers? I know a little on the history of public health vaccination campaigns and the first great USA anti-flu jab panic, and the real stats and tragedy that turned out to be (the vaccine was safe, but there was a huge refusal rate, and ensuing deaths). Early vaccines were not so safe of course - I am typing this a few dozen yards from Jenner's old house. Might be nice to give it some historical flavour. I'll happily prepare some notes or references for whoever is talking if they wany them, as I have already been on one podcast so someone elses turn this time. :)
