Most of you think we know what our vaccines are doing - we don't, Peter Aaby

Peter Aaby at the Symposium about Scientific Freedom, Copenhagen, 9 March 2019. Lecture: "WHO is the brain in the system - The sound of silence? A case study of how public health vaccinology deals with fundamental contradictions of current policy." Anthropologist, Dr Peter Aaby is credited for the discovery of non-specific effects of vaccines, leading the World Health Organization, WHO, to change its measles vaccine programme in the early 1990s. For almost 40 years, he has run the Bandim Health Project, a health and demographic surveillance system site that he established in Guinea-Bissau in 1978. This lecture is part of the Symposium about Scientific Freedom and the inauguration of the Institute for Scientific Freedom, which took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, 9 March 2019. World renowned Danish scientist Peter C Gøtzsche is the founder of the institute. The Institute’s primary area of focus is healthcare and the institute has three main visions: - All science should strive to be free from financial conflicts of interest. - All science should be published as soon as possible, and made freely accessible. - All scientific data, including study protocols, should be freely accessible, allowing others to do their own analyses.
