Barbara Loe Fisher, USA: The Politics of Vaccination and Human Rights

Vaccines are credited with saving hundreds of millions of lives and yet, today, everybody knows somebody who was healthy, got vaccinated and was never healthy again. The politics of vaccination involves a cross-section of corporations, professions and social institutions promoting mandatory use of a pharmaceutical product to advance ideological and business agendas that have as much to do with money and power as an attempt to improve public health.

Since the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, there has been an unprecedented assault on freedom of thought, speech, conscience, religion, privacy, assembly and other human rights in the name of the greater good. Now the price put on reclaiming liberty is mass use of experimental COVID-19 vaccines, and people must choose between standing down or standing up for the human right to autonomy and protection of bodily integrity.

Barbara Loe Fisher is co-founder & president of the non-profit National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), a charity founded in 1982 by parents of DPT vaccine injured children to prevent vaccine injuries and deaths through public education. For the past four decades, she and NVIC have led the vaccine safety and informed consent movement in the U.S. to secure informed consent protections in vaccine policies and laws. She is co-author of the seminal 1985 book "DPT: A Shot in the Dark," founder and executive editor of the weekly journal newspaper "The Vaccine Reaction," and a video blog commentator. She served for several decades as a consumer member of federal vaccine advisory, public engagement and Institute of Medicine committees, and has testified in Congress and state legislatures. She has debated more doctors on television on the subject of vaccine science, policy and law than any other American. Her work was featured in the 2011 film "The Greater Good" and the 2020 movie "1986: The Act."
