Anti-vax and Ableism

Sunday, 5 September 2021 - 1:00pm to 2:00pm
Claire with dogs Waffle and Sparrow

Trev and Davita are joined by seasoned activist Claire to discuss the crossover between ableism and anti-vax sentiment in the vegan community. We critique issues around the accessibility within the movement, especially for people with an immunodeficiency. This is
particularly timely considering the Covid-19 pandemic and vaccine hesitancy.
