i like them because they keep people from locking in, but one of the things i wanted
to make sure i did in this conversation is not interrupt you.
because it's very frustrating for me when i'm hearing people talk in these, what should
be long form conversations about very important and nuanced things.
and i think one of the things that happens is people are very concerned with letting
you say things that is going to get them in trouble or get their channel in trouble.
there's people that are doing a lot of self-censoring, and i think they're doing that also when they
have these conversations with you because they want to establish right away that they
have problems with you.
they have problems with some of the positions that a lot of people have problems with.
i was one of those people.
so when i had heard of you in the past before i had read your book and before i'd met you,
i had no information on you.
but there was this narrative, and this narrative was you were anti-vax and you believed in
pseudoscience and you were kind of loony.
i didn't look into it at all.
i just took it at face value because that's what everybody had said.
and in my mind, vaccines have been one of the most important medical advancements in
human history, saved countless lives, protected children.
and i thought very strongly that they were important.
