He is an outspoken skeptic, and a critic of alternative medicine and the anti-vaccination movement. He is the author of the blog Respectful Insolence, and the managing editor of the website Science-Based Medicine, both of which explore issues in medicine from a skeptical perspective.

In this talk Dr. Gorski will address the current state of the anti-vaccine movement in the age of COVID-19, the tactics that have been repeatedly used over the years to promote vaccine misinformation, and ways to address the most common anti-vaccine tropes and myths.
