Skeptical Inquirer Presents
Countering the Next Phase of American Anti-Vaccine Activism | Peter Hotez
Featuring: Peter Hotez
February 20, 2025 - 7:00 pm EST

Anti-vaccine activism has been present throughout American history, but the movement gained considerable momentum in the twenty-first century based on false claims that vaccines cause autism in the 2000s and “health freedom” protests against childhood immunization mandates in schools in the 2010s. Anti-vaccine disinformation may have hit a new peak during the COVID-19 pandemic, but that won’t be the end of it.

Routine childhood immunizations are falling, which means it’s vital we take a hard look at the status of childhood immunizations in the United States and find new opportunities to advocate for vaccines or counter rising anti-vaccine activism.

Join us on Thursday, February 20, at 7:00 p.m. ET for a new Skeptical Inquirer Presents with Professor Peter Hotez, MD, PhD. Dr. Hotez is a vaccine scientist, biochemist, and pediatrician, as well as a leading vaccine advocate and science explainer. His recent paper, available through the Public Library of Science, outlines key steps for countering the next phase of American anti-vaccine activism by connecting with parents and policymakers.
