Accad and Koka Episode 74: Can We Have a Reasonable Discussion About Vaccines?



Does the vaccine debate have to be polarized according to “Pro-Vaxx” or “Anti-Vaxx” camps?  Is it possible to have a reasonable discussion about harms and benefits of vaccines?  Are public health concerns about unvaccinated children sufficient to trump individual liberty?
Exploring the question with us is Dr. Niran Al-Aqba, a board-certified pediatrician in private practice in Washington State, an area hit by the recent outbreak of measles.  Dr. Al-Aqba is a prolific writer who speaks widely and openly on a variety of issues, including policy, ethics, and medical practice.  She is a regular contributor to the Kitsap Sun, to The Deductible blog, and to a variety of other outlets, including her own blog, MommyDoc.  She is a mother of four children who’s been voted best doctor in Kitsap County on multiple occasions.  She also serves on the clinical staff and admission committee at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
