This documentary explores public mistrust in vaccines both historically and in the presence of modern pandemics. It looks at both the measles outbreaks in 2019, a result of decreasing vaccination rates in children, and the COVID-19 pandemic that followed shortly after, thereby unpacking the rise of the modern “anti-vax” movement. By contrasting perspectives from scientific experts and influential voices spreading health misinformation, the film highlights how fear, politics, and digital echo chambers contribute to the growing mistrust in vaccines. While focused primarily on the United States, the documentary also addresses parallel health conspiracy movements in parts of Europe, offering a wider international context.

The film is introduced by Jørgen Kurtzhals, Vice-Dean for Education, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH. The screening is followed by a panel with Robb Butler (Special Representative for Climate and Health and former Director Infectious Diseases, WHO Europe), and Bolette Søborg (Deputy Director and Head of Vaccine Preventable Diseases, Statens Serum Institut), moderated by Lena Skovgaard Andersen (Director of the School of Global Health, University of Copenhagen). They will take the conversation beyond the USA and give insights into the current situation of vaccine mistrust in Europe and specifically Denmark by discussing health information and science communication in the 21st century. Mexican fingerfood and drinks are served in Asta Bar after the panel as a warm-up to the evening’s next film ‘Desert Angel’. The event will be in English.

Shot in the arm / Sundhedsmisinformation
Tirsdag den 14. april, 16.45 – 19.00

Denne dokumentar udforsker offentlig mistillid til vacciner både historisk og i forbindelse med moderne pandemier. Den ser på både mæslingeudbruddene i 2019 – et resultat af faldende vaccinationsrater blandt børn – og COVID-19-pandemien, der fulgte kort efter, og afdækker dermed fremvæksten af den moderne “anti-vax”-bevægelse. Ved at viser perspektiver fra videnskabelige eksperter med indflydelsesrige stemmer, der spreder sundhedsmisinformation, viser filmen, hvordan frygt, politik og digitale ekkokamre bidrager til den stigende mistillid til vacciner. Selvom fokus primært er på USA, berører dokumentaren også sundhedskonspirationer i dele af Europa og giver dermed en bredere international kontekst.
