Discover one of humanity’s greatest triumphs – the eradication of smallpox, the only human disease eliminated through science and global cooperation. Join us for the premiere of filmmaker Neil Halloran’s new documentary, The Plea, which chronicles this remarkable achievement. After the screening, engage directly with the filmmaker and a distinguished panel of doctors and public health officials in a town-hall style discussion as part of our Trust in Science event series. Following our recent experiences with COVID-19 and ongoing conversations about vaccines in our communities, this film offers valuable perspective on how trust, science, and collaboration have shaped public health throughout history. Whether you’re curious about the science of vaccines, perspectives on vaccine safety, or how public health decisions are made, this event will allow you to share your thoughts, hear from experts, and get answers to your questions. All questions and viewpoints are welcome at this event as we aim to foster understanding and dialogue about the role of vaccines in our communities.Panel:
