WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT SHOT IN THE ARM

“The underlying meaning of what makes SHOT IN THE ARM important is that it’s a mirror revealing how selfish we as a society have become. It is a call to humanity to take a step back before we are all eliminated or too sick to care for anyone, let alone ourselves.”

Sabina Dana Plasse, Film Threat

“We come away with renewed admiration for the scientists who continued to tell the truth despite threats against them and their families. The film will provoke widespread admiration, along with outbursts of anger from the stubborn anti-vax crowd!”

Stephen Farber, Hollywood Reporter

“As a snapshot of how viral paranoia spreads in an age of alternative facts, Kennedy’s politely furious polemic is urgent and timely!”

Stephen Dalton, Verdict Magazine

“You gotta see Kennedy’s latest, SHOT IN THE ARM is a vital, fascinating and jaw dropping ride!”

Michael Lumpkin Film Consultant,
Former Executive Director, International Documentary Association

“SHOT IN THE ARM is really the kick in the pants we ALL need to preserve the sanctity of science and protect the most vulnerable among us. Go see this film!”

Lipi Roy, Forbes Magazine

“Ravishing and compelling! Amidst the chaos, Kennedy’s documentary feels like a glimmer of hope. Everyone should see SHOT IN THE ARM!”

Federico Furzan, Movieblogger.com

“SHOT IN THE ARM is a vital rung in a ladder of science literacy that we all must ascend, lest civilization teeters on the brink of collapse from its absence. It must be seen by all 8 billion citizens on planet earth.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson – Astrophysicist. Author. and Science Communicator

“Scott’s brilliant documentary FOOD EVOLUTION confirmed his special talent for communicating sound science in a compelling fashion. And now with SHOT IN THE ARM. Scott’s de-masking of Robert Kennedy Jr. is a public service! This timely project will save lives in the United States and around the world.”

Kathleen Hall Jamieson, PhD – University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School for Communication

“SHOT IN THE ARM is the best vaccine produced for the virus of science denial. It should be viewed by every member of Congress, every state governor, and every American. A brilliant rebuttal to every argument made against vaccines.

Michael Shermer – Publisher Skeptic magazine, Presidential Fellow Chapman University

“SHOT IN THE ARM is a masterfully told true tale of the modern anti-vax scourge. While we live in an age of startling medical advancement, with vaccines topping the list, there has been a concomitant rise in science denialism. Shot in the Arm exposes the efforts of a handful of anti-vax leaders who valorize themselves by confusing and scaring a vulnerable public and jeopardizing public health. You won’t be able to look away from the ignominy on display. It is the best documentary on vaccines to date.”

Robyn E. Blumner – President and CEO, Center for Inquiry, Executive Director, Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason & Science

“Having SHOT IN THE ARM be part of the WORLD VACCINE CONGRESS was a very powerful and cathartic experience, bringing many of us to tears. Scientists, despite the enormous amount of information that they hold, are often not taught how to counter disinformation. Everyone should be contributing to speaking up and defending science, and SHOT IN THE ARM will inspire many generations to do just that!”

Wing-vun Cheung. MSc – Congress & Proiect Director. World vaccine congress

“In countering anti-vax disinformation, SHOT IN THE ARM accomplished in a film what many of us couldn’t accomplish in the last 20 years!”

Dr. John R. Eplee, MD – Kansas State Representative

“With COVID-19 we’ve seen our front line workers get really demoralized, because of the day in and day out attacks on public health. I look forward to seeing SHOT IN THE ARM put wind under the wings of the public health community, and helping them see that thev’re not alone!”

Charlotte Moser – Co-Director of CHOP Vaccine Education Center

“I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoyed SHOT IN THE ARM! It is an amazing testimony, and it will greatly contribute to a better, and more healthy world!”

Steven L Saunders MBA FACP – Yale University School of Medicine

“As an Emergency Physician, I frequently see patients harmed by vaccine hesitancy. SHOT IN THE ARM brings to light the devastating effects of medical disinformation and urges us to have a respectful dialogue about its harmful consequences on a national level.”

Algis Baliunas MD – FAAEM

“Seeing SHOT IN THE ARM made me sad, it made me angry, and it made
me want to wake up tomorrow and get back in the game!”

Reed V. Tuckson, M.D., FACP
