Vaccine Hesitancy: a Science-Based Approach with Matt Tullman

Matt Tullman is co-founder and CEO of Merchant Mechanics, and a founding partner at Bellwether Citizen Response. With over 25 years of experience in the consumer insights industry, Matt continues to pioneer the development and application of behavioral, implicit, and neuroscience research techniques that help brands better understand the subconscious emotional drivers of motivation and decision-making. His research has been published in prominent business publications and academic journals, including the Journal of Advertising Research, Forbes, and The Wall Street Journal.  In this episode, Matt discusses his latest article titled “How NOT To Fight Vaccine Hesitancy: Lessons from Brain Science (and Nancy Reagan)” and shares why the key to combating vaccine hesitancy is to appeal to the emotional side of vaccine objections. He also discusses why all the science in the world will not be enough to combat vaccine hesitancy, and what the focus should be on instead.
