Neil deGrasse Tyson and Scott Hamilton Kennedy Talk About A 'Shot in the Arm' - Interview

Neil deGrasse Tyson and Scott Hamilton Kennedy talk about their documentary a 'Shot in the Arm' in addressing anti-vaxxers, showing the Laemmle Theatres in Los Angeles, CA beginning Friday, November 17, 2023. A 'Shot in the Arm' is a fascinating documentary about the anti-vaxxer movement taking place in the United States and across the world. Executive Producer, Neil deGrass Tyson and Academy Award Nominee, Scott Hamilton Kennedy set out with the use of science to prove just how safe and effective vaccines are to those who disagree with the science. There was one question I did not get to ask Mr. Tyson and that was, "What does an astrophysicist know virology?" The question is due in part that as a journalist, you have to open the discussion from every angel, not only from one's personal biases or perceived ones. Kennedy does a great job in his interviews without turning attacking the subjects he speaking with, even though you can tell his blood was boiling throughout the entire filmmaking process. The most important question that was asked is how the interview began, "What do you say to people who have adverse effects to medication that were mistreated during this one size fits all method?" (I am paraphrasing the question, you will hear it in the interview.) Whether you are pro-vaccines and want to get 200 boosters, or anti-vaccines by wanting to never having a needle stuck in your arm, that's your business. However, a 'Shot in the Arm' is a documentary that will open up dialogue between centralist audience members in how to prepare ourselves for the next go around. A 'Shot in the Arm' begins showing at the Laemmle Theatres in Los Angeles, CA beginning Friday, November 17, 2023.
