Ami Palmer has been on the podcast before (ep 325) and I was thrilled to have him back.  He's a wrestler, judoka, jiu-jitsuka and teaches at the University of Texas.  The focus of today's conversation was how to talk to the vaccine hesitant, combat conspiracy theories, and how to figure out who to believe. Check out the 3 articles Ami wrote to accompany this episode:  https://wrestling-with-philosophy.com/2020/05/26/anti-vaxxers-are-pro-vaccine-moral-arguments/  https://wrestling-with-philosophy.com/2020/06/15/vaccine-skeptics-are-pro-vaccine-moral-arguments-part-2/  https://wrestling-with-philosophy.com/2021/01/18/the-rational-the-reasonable-and-covid-19-vaccine-policy/ Thanks Stephan
