\nThis documentary explores public mistrust in vaccines both historically and in the presence of modern pandemics. It looks at both the measles outbreaks in 2019, a result of decreasing vaccination rates in children, and the COVID-19 pandemic that followed shortly after, thereby unpacking the rise of the modern \u201canti-vax\u201d movement. By contrasting perspectives from scientific experts and influential voices spreading health misinformation, the film highlights how fear, politics, and digital echo chambers contribute to the growing mistrust in vaccines. While focused primarily on the United States, the documentary also addresses parallel health conspiracy movements in parts of Europe, offering a wider international context.

\nDenne dokumentar udforsker offentlig mistillid til vacciner b\u00e5de historisk og i forbindelse med moderne pandemier. Den ser p\u00e5 b\u00e5de m\u00e6slingeudbruddene i 2019 \u2013 et resultat af faldende vaccinationsrater blandt b\u00f8rn \u2013 og COVID-19-pandemien, der fulgte kort efter, og afd\u00e6kker dermed fremv\u00e6ksten af den moderne \u201canti-vax\u201d-bev\u00e6gelse. Ved at viser perspektiver fra videnskabelige eksperter med indflydelsesrige stemmer, der spreder sundhedsmisinformation, viser filmen, hvordan frygt, politik og digitale ekkokamre bidrager til den stigende mistillid til vacciner. Selvom fokus prim\u00e6rt er p\u00e5 USA, ber\u00f8rer dokumentaren ogs\u00e5 sundhedskonspirationer i dele af Europa og giver dermed en bredere international kontekst.
