i like them because they keep people from locking in, but one of the things i wanted

00:00:16

to make sure i did in this conversation is not interrupt you.

00:00:21

because it's very frustrating for me when i'm hearing people talk in these, what should

00:00:29

be long form conversations about very important and nuanced things.

00:00:35

and i think one of the things that happens is people are very concerned with letting

00:00:40

you say things that is going to get them in trouble or get their channel in trouble.

00:00:47

there's people that are doing a lot of self-censoring, and i think they're doing that also when they

00:00:51

have these conversations with you because they want to establish right away that they

00:00:55

have problems with you.

00:00:57

they have problems with some of the positions that a lot of people have problems with.

00:01:02

i was one of those people.

00:01:04

so when i had heard of you in the past before i had read your book and before i'd met you,

00:01:09

i had no information on you.

00:01:12

but there was this narrative, and this narrative was you were anti-vax and you believed in

00:01:19

pseudoscience and you were kind of loony.

00:01:23

i didn't look into it at all.

00:01:24

i just took it at face value because that's what everybody had said.

00:01:27

and in my mind, vaccines have been one of the most important medical advancements in

00:01:33

human history, saved countless lives, protected children.

00:01:37

and i thought very strongly that they were important.
