Simon Beauvoir, cohost of the new feminist podcast Cherchez la Femme (@cherchezpodcast), tells the true story of his long court battle to get his three children vaccinated.

Simon grew up a member of a fundamentalist Christian sect and married into an anti-education, anti-vax, Quiverfull family. When Simon lost his religious faith, his marriage did not survive. The real conflict started, however, when Simon tried to bring medical science into his children's lives against the staunch objections of his estranged wife.
