A Kennedy is tackling vaccine hesitancy on the big screen, but it’s not the one you think.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director Scott Hamilton Kennedy (“The Garden”) is behind “Shot in the Arm,” an upcoming documentary about vaccines both pre and post-COVID 19.<\/p>\n

Kennedy began the project prior to the global pandemic that struck in 2020. He continued on his mission during the lockdowns, allowing his film to take on a new dimension given the virus’ global impact.<\/p>\n

The press notes on the film stay relatively neutral in tone.<\/p>\n

In the spring of 2019, before anyone had heard of COVID-19, Kennedy began investigating a global measles epidemic and filming with top public health officials\u2013including Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, MD; Karen Ernst; Dr. Paul A. Offit, MD; Dr. Peter J. Hotez, MD; Blima Marcus, DNP \u2013as well as rare verite and interviews with anti-vaccine activists – like Robert Kennedy, Jr. (charting his part in Samoa’s tragic measles outbreak of 2019 and as he continues to garner GOP funding for a Democrat presidential bid today), Andrew Wakefield, and Del Bigtree – who were persuading parents by the millions to refuse vaccines for their children. Then COVID-19 happened. Acting quickly, Kennedy shifted his directorial eye to this once-in-a-century tragedy, as his family was caught in the maelstrom of COVID-19. Both skeptical and hopeful, SHOT IN THE ARM explores the cultural zeitgeist of vaccine hesitancy historically and in the context of the current COVID pandemic and how disinformation is its own disease. Can we replace cynicism with healthy curiosity and bridge the political divides that make us sick?<\/em><\/p>\n

Look deeper.<\/p>\n

The film is executive produced by Neil deGrasse Tyson, a devote vaccine proponent<\/a> despite all we’ve learned about the medications’ limitations over the last two-plus years. Director Kennedy’s X feed hails expects like Dr. Peter Hotez, another vaccine defender routinely mocked by free thinkers for his activism.<\/p>\n
