Trust In Science: Vaccines

Join us to examine vaccine skepticism, in contemporary America, historically, and in the clinic. What are the historical roots of resistance to vaccination? What is the data about contemporary attitudes? How do these attitudes relate to changing social, economic and political contexts? How do these issues play out in the relationship between a doctor and a patient? Three experts share their research and experience on these questions, and lead our discussion. "Trust in Science: Vaccines" is the first event in a series inspired by Perceptions of Science in America, a report from the Public Face of Science Initiative at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Two more events will cover trust in science through evolution and climate change. Find this presentation and further resources on the Consortium's website at: https://www.chstm.org/video/61
