Episode 38 - The Polio Vaccine - A Shot In the Dark Part 12

So this one took some time to produce. It's been  3 weeks since our last episode, but this was a lot of effort. Candace gets a lot of things wrong about Polio and spends way too much time retreading an old and debunked claim about Polio and DDT.

Episode 37 - The Flu Shot - A Shot In the Dark Part 11

This is the final episode of Candace's Daily Wire-produced part of A Shot In the Dark. We go through it all of course, and there is at least one surprising production gaffe from her team in the episode, and may be why there are no links provided by Candace for this one. So all of the links in the Link Stack are from Thomas Anderson's research.

Episode 33 - A Shot In the Dark Part 7 - DTaP Part 1 Tetanus

In this episode, Candace discussed the start of the DTaP vaccines for her crowd. Originally aired on The Daily Wire Plus, this episode covered the Tetanus part of the DTaP vaccine. Candace of course, messed up pretty much everything she told people, and we are as usual, here to correct the record. Below are all the relevant links we discussed on this episode.

Episode 32 - A Shot In The Dark Part 6 - Rotavirus Vaccine

In this Episode, Candace talks confidently and incorrectly about the Rotavirus Vaccine. She focuses on just one of them almost exclusively, although there are two available. There is a bonus theme song at the end, and we try an interesting soda near the end that we got from an awesome little store here called Paradise Market, in Hopkins, MN.  Below are the episode links we mentioned.
