Seeking Sources for Piece on Vaccine Skeptics

From Where Does Your Skepticism Come? What Could Address Your Concerns?

Hank Kalet

Dec 15

I’m planning to write about vaccine skepticism and, based on the polling, it’s clear that not all skepticisms are the same. Some view vaccines as intrusive and vaccine mandates as a violation of their rights. Others see vaccines as creating other illnesses. And other still have qualms about Big Pharma. While I don’t agree and have trouble seeing from where some of this skepticism derives, I think it is important to have this discussion.

I’m interested in all concerns, and want to know what it would take to ameliorate them. I’m particularly interested in African Americans, who have expressed the greatest concerns, because of the history of abuse at the hands of the medical establishment.

If you’re interested in helping — either by passing along your thoughts, having a conversation, or connecting me to skeptics or academics who look at this, send me an email, or comment below.

Please, do not use this post as an excuse for debate in the comment section. I will remove those. I’m truly interested in what people have to say, and I don’t want them to fear criticism or attack. There are plenty of other forums for people to go back and forth.

Thanks in advance.

Broken Cord: An Anthology of Writing on Alzheimer’s and Dementia

We are looking to raise seed money for an anthology of writing on Alzheimer’s and dementia. The anthology will be the first project from a new small press. All proceeds will go to research and care groups. Contributors who donate $20 or more will get copies of the anthology and a mention on the acknowledgements page. Writers, we are looking for poems, fiction, and essays on dementia and Alzheimer’s. They can be from any perspective — care-givers, family, the person with dementia.
