Seth Mnookin and Paul A. Offit, MD
The College of Physicians of Philadelphia
Time: 6:30 - 8:30pm
Location: The College of Physicians of Philadelphia
Save the date for what promises to be a stimulating evening on Tuesday, March 1, when Paul A. Offit, MD, and Seth Mnookin speak at The College of Physicians of Philadelphia. Both have newly published books – Offit’s Deadly Choices: How the Anti-Vaccine Movement Threatens Us All, and Mnookin’s The Panic Virus: A True Story of Medicine, Science, and Fear – and both have been prominent voices in the recent national media coverage about Andrew Wakefield’s 1998 Lancet paper that attempted to link MMR vaccination to autism.
Offit, an infectious disease physician and vaccine developer, and Mnookin, a contributing editor at Vanity Fair, will discuss their new books and have a conversation about the past and future of vaccination in the media, among parents, and in the medical world. A question-and-answer session with the audience will follow.
