Mainstream media have been irresponsible throughout the coronavirus pandemic – Oxford’s Dr. Alberto Giubilini (E975)

We speak to Dr. Alberto Giubilini, senior research fellow at Oxford University’s Collective Responsibility for Infectious Disease Program. He discusses why it is a moral imperative for governments to approve and roll out Covid-19 vaccines as fast as possible – and for people to take them – why people should still take the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine to protect themselves from the South African coronavirus variant, irresponsibility and alarmism by the mainstream media throughout the pandemic, the reasons for the mistrust of governments, health officials, vaccines and much more! Finally, we speak to Dr. James Trafford, author of ‘The Empire at Home: Internal Colonies and the End of Britain’, on Britain’s relationship with its colonial past. He discusses Britain’s ongoing nostalgia for its imperial past and the problems it has caused in modern society, the coronavirus vaccine and the government’s imperial-era framing of the crisis, how racism in Britain today roots back to the racist colonisation during the British Empire, the colonial-style management of Britain at home and much more!
