Barbara Loe Fisher is president of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), a nonprofit charity she co-founded in 1982 to prevent vaccine injuries and deaths through public education and advocate for informed consent protections in US vaccine policies and laws. NVIC.org is the oldest and largest consumer-operated website publishing information on vaccine science, policy and law.  Barbara is co-author of the seminal 1985 book “DPT: A Shot in the Dark, author of “Guide to Reforming Vaccine Policy and Law,” and founding editor of TheVaccineReaction.org journal newspaper.  She worked with Congress to secure vaccine safety informing, recording, reporting and research provisions in the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. She has served as a consumer member of Institute of Medicine and federal vaccine advisory committees and has testified in Congress and in state legislatures.   

Prof. Mary Holland is the Vice Chair of the Board for the Children's Health Defense, founded by Bobby Kennedy Jr, and scholar at a New York area law school specializing in international human rights, public law and vaccine safety law and injury compensation.

Mary holds a degree in Russian studies from Harvard, and graduate degrees in international relations and a JD from Columbia University. She is the co-author of “Vaccine Epidemic" about corporate greed and bad science behind the vaccine industry.  And her most recent book is "The HPV Vaccine Trial: Seeking Justice for A Generation Betrayed" -- the most concise book behind the history and adverse effects of HPV vaccines such as Gardasil, with a preface by the Nobel Prize Winner in medicine Dr. Luc Montagnier.
