BBC announces new documentary, Unvaccinated, with Professor Hannah Fry

Professor Hannah Fry seeks to understand why a portion of the population remain unvaccinated against Covid-19.

To fully explore this Hannah will bring seven unvaccinated participants together under one roof to unpack the long-held opinions, beliefs and fears that have prevented them from getting the vaccine.

Thanks Kwenda.

Hannah Fry is a very good presenter with solid credentials. I would like to see an open-minded investigation that doesn't just assume established paradigms to be correct, but sets out the required standards for information to be called "scientific" and therefore credible. Then it will be easy to spot that the vast majority of what we refer to as misinformation, but is still adhered to by a number of highly educated and highly qualified individuals, falls well short of the credibility benchmark.

Prof Fry is one of my hero's. Mainly from her podast - No such thing as a fish. I feel I know here well, she will certainly face up to facts and evidence - seeking the truth.

Not

No such thing as a fish ... which is also an excellent podcast.

Both helped me endure FCR, and then pandemic isolating.
