⁣NVIC's co-founder and president, Barbara Loe Fisher, responds to bullying remarks made by Baylor University's Dr. Peter Hotez during a recent lecture at Duke University. Dr. Hotez accused NVIC of being a "hate group,” even though NVIC has consistently based its advocacy on the informed consent principle and served as a respected consumer watchdog monitoring vaccine science, policy, law and ethics. NVIC continues to respect all vaccine decisions, and advocates that all individuals should have access to accurate information on the risks associated with diseases and vaccines prior to vaccination and the human and legal right to make voluntary vaccine decisions for themselves and their minor children without coercion or sanctions.
