Vaccines are one of humanity's greatest inventions ever, but despite 300 years of success, antivax people are still using the same debunked arguments.
That's because vaccines are political technologies just as much as they are scientific ones. It's something many proponents lost track of.
Much more in the latest "Theory of Change," featuring Thomas Levenson, author of "A Pox on Fools."
