‘It’s not something that you just do
Deciding to get children vaccinated against COVID-19 is not something families ‘just do’ in contexts where neoliberal values shape social norms and governance. Vaccination decisions are socially situated, involve multiple actors, and require careful consideration of competing risks in relation to expectations of ‘good’ parents. Informed by theoretical approaches to emotion and risk, our study contributes to understanding parents’ perspectives of …
Investigating attributes of stigma towards individuals who did not receive a Covid-19 vaccine
Intersecting Inequities in Covid-19 Vaccination
Vaccines protect both you and your newborn
‘It’s really embarrassing [...] to ask for help
The arrival of COVID-19 vaccines in Canada marked the first time since the H1N1 influenza pandemic that adult vaccination became central in public health discourse, thus evoking feelings and discourse about individuals’ responsibility to get vaccinated. Public health institutions made efforts to ensure vaccines were accessible, and various local organizations worked to fill gaps in accessibility (e.g. vaccine clinics for equity-denied communities…
Covid-19 vaccination in pregnancy
Early in COVID-19 vaccine rollout, expert recommendations about vaccination while pregnant and breastfeeding changed rapidly. This paper addresses the (re)production of gendered power relations in these expert discourses and recommendations in Canada. We collected texts about COVID-19 vaccine use in pregnancy (N = 52) that Canadian health organizations (e.g., professional societies, advisory groups, health authorities) and vaccine manufacturers m…
Factors affecting hesitancy toward Covid-19 vaccine booster doses in Canada
COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy may develop or increase regarding subsequent vaccines. Our findings indicate factors to consider when targeting vaccine-hesitant populations
We need to protect each other
Risk and intersectional power relations
The World Health Organization and many national health authorities identifie pregnant women as requiring extra protections during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Nevertheless, many initial responses to the COVID-19 pandemic were implemented in ways that have disrupted the care and support women receive and provide during pregnancy. In this article, I apply an intersectional approach to explore the unintended implications of discourses and practices…
Fear, rationality, and risky others
One of the greatest medical success stories
Health professionals and the vaccine narrative
Some vaccine supporters interpret vaccine uncertainties as a form of public ignorance caused by patients’ online research, failed physician–patient relationships, or inadequate knowledge translation. These interpretations often portray health professionals as homogeneously accepting of all scheduled vaccines for all patients. Nonetheless, health professionals may have limited knowledge about vaccines because the demands of their profession requir…
A war over mental health professionalism
Over 60 years ago, founder L. Ron Hubbard began what has become Scientology's greatest battle. Scientology emerged from Dianetics, which Hubbard hoped would replace the psychiatric profession. In this article, we discuss how Scientology attempted to position itself as a rival profession to psychiatry and the consequences of those attempts. Scientology's battle with psychiatry gained some success from the social conditions during which it emerged,…

L. Ron Hubbard’s Alternative to the Bomb Shelter
In the 1950s, L. Ron Hubbard founded Scientology and offered it as the key to surviving nuclear fallout. Hubbard’s success in promoting his claims depended on his ability to convince some people that Scientology was a unique science with more authority to state the truth than orthodox science. These claims contributed to both Scientology’s and Hubbard’s financial well-being, but provided little to no benefit for followers and may have harmed some…
