Screenshots - Vaccines & Freedom
🕑 Added 2022-02-22 15:56:04 +0000 UTCHello lovely Patrons!
Editing is progressing very quickly on my next video because I did a lot of the preliminary stuff like the titles and the credits before we even filmed, so here are some screenshots!
Here's the fun part! This video is based around several interviews with voluntarily unvaccinated people and a big, original research project to find out what they think. We identified four broad types, and I hired cartoonist Mattie Lubchansky to come up with a way to represent them visually!
We'll be looking at some of their actual words: this is real, practical philosophy that affects real people's lives!
To protect the privacy of everyone involved in the research project, I hired professional actors to read their words. I gotta say, it's thanks to your Patreon pledges that I'm able to do that - this is one of those videos that just couldn't be made were it not for crowdfunding, so thank you for being here!
We won't just be talking about covid either...
...there are lessons to be learned from how people have dealt with other diseases!
I really went in depth on the research and dug through a lot of medical journals and books: this is one of the most citation-heavy episodes I've ever done
Of course, there is glamour as well!
Here you can see the gorgeous makeup work Nicki did in more detail, she really did an amazing job on this one!
And of course, I represented my home town by wearing a Newcastle United face mask!
I'm really proud of how this video is shaping up. I'm actually working from home rather than an office now cause my flat finally has good Internet installed, so I can work for longer stretches at a time. This episode might well be done tonight or tomorrow, and will almost certainly be ready in time for Friday! $15+ patrons will be able to see it as soon as it's ready, basically!

Looking forwrd to this one! xx
this s going to be the kind of episode I'll need to watch and share, because I have been struggling with the habit of dismissing antivaxers as conspiracy theorists and eugenicists in my mind, and I don't know where that idea comes from, but maybe this will be one of those times that good information displaces the bad information.
Look at that silver outfit! Love it 😍
I gave a lecture on pandemics online a couple of months ago and found Mark Honigsbaum's The Pandemic Century: One Hundred Years of Panic, Hysteria, and Hubris, (you know, the regular stuff these days), a good resource. I'll aspire to add a dash of Abbie glamour to my next effort...

"... so I can work for longer stretches at a time." Not too long, hope. I love the art-style for the illustrations; and the make-up and costumes work really well too.
Wow, so looking forward to seeing this.
This looks like it's shaping up to be a fantastic episode! I can't wait! :D

I feel like I’m FINALLY about to get some concrete pandemic insight after two years of conflicting headlines and the wishy washy CDC here in the US. Thank you for doing the historical and social leg work here Abi, really excited to watch!
