"Virulent: The Vaccine War" live Q&A

"Virulent: The Vaccine War" explores the highly contentious, emotionally fraught firestorm surrounding vaccines, charting the collision between scientists and charlatans, truth, and lies.

The film puts a human face on scientists and others in the trenches, including:

– Paul Offit, one of the world’s preeminent virologists and the project’s medical advisor
– Peter Salk, polio inventor, Jonas Salk’s, public health expert son
– Arthur Caplan, who founded NYU’s Division of Medical Ethics
– Kevin Roose, the NY Times columnist who writes about how disinformation spreads online
– Ethan Lindenberger, the student activist who had himself vaccinated against his parents’ wishes

The film also shines a harsh spotlight on leaders of the anti-vaccine movement, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who disseminates bad science to Black Americans who hold the Kennedy name in high esteem.

"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.

Please join Immunize.org, Paul Offit, Todd Wolynn, Margaret Larkins-Pettigrew, Melody Butler, and the filmmakers for a live discussion/Q&A on March 20, 11:00 a.m. (ET).
