Vicky van der Togt is a central figure in the grassroots response to the COVID-19 pandemic. She’s the founder of the Zero COVID Alliance, and a sufferer of Long COVID herself.

In this episode we hear about how grassroots groups are successfully filling the gaps where governments are failing on COVID. We talk about the Zero COVID strategy, COVID myth-busting, and Vicky’s own experience of the disease. And we examine how anyone can join the fight to work on this problem that’s affecting us all.
