Aaron Discusses Vaccines, Amen: The Religion of Vaccines with Lara Logan
In this episode of Going Rogue with Lara Logan, host Lara Logan interviews civil rights attorney Aaron Siri, Managing Partner of Siri & Glimstad LLP. The conversation centers on vaccine liability law, with Aaron explaining how the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act effectively shielded vaccine manufacturers from lawsuits, leaving injured families to navigate the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program — where they must fight against the Department of Justice rather than the companies themselves. Aaron details his firm’s thousands of pending vaccine injury claims and highlights landmark cases, including compelling the FDA to release Pfizer’s COVID-19 documents, securing vaccine exemptions for hundreds of thousands of students, and representing a clinical trial participant left in chronic pain following the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Beyond the legal battles, Aaron discusses the broader cultural shift he believes is necessary to reform vaccine policy. He argues that vaccines should be evaluated as products — subject to scrutiny like any consumer good — rather than treated as objects of belief. He points to his book, Vaccines, Amen, as a tool for shifting public understanding, noting that lasting legal and legislative change follows cultural change.
