Virulent: The Vaccine War - Livestream

Recent years have seen the dialogue around vaccines devolve into a highly contentious, emotionally fraught firestorm, an ongoing collision between scientists and charlatans, truth and lies. Virulent: The Vaccine War is an invitation to think again, exposing the myths and laying bare the facts about vaccine science, its history, and what it will take to eradicate the world’s most deadly diseases.

Acclaimed documentary filmmakers Laura Davis and Tjardus Greidanus join us for the next Skeptical Inquirer Presents livestream event to discuss their new film. Virulent: The Vaccine War examines the history of vaccine hesitancy, and the galvanizing effect Covid-19 has had on anti-vaccination activists. It features scientists and others in the trenches including Dr. Paul Offit, one of the world’s preeminent virologists; public health expert Dr. Peter Salk, the son of polio vaccine inventor Dr. Jonas Salk; and New York Times columnist Kevin Roose, who writes about how disinformation spreads online.
