Dear John,

Join us for the first UpClose event of 2026 as we take a critical look at the parallels between the AIDS crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our panel of experts including journalist and author, Celia Farber, biochemist David Rasnick, filmmaker, journalist and author, Joan Shenton, and filmmaker, human rights activists and holocaust survivor, Vera Sharav, will explain how fear, misinformation, dubious public policy, media narratives, and scientific debate, shaped both eras of crisis, and impacted our sense of trust, and transparency in matters of public health.

Our panelists, hosted by CHD CEO Mary Holland, will reveal the true costs of crisis-driven decision-making, challenging conventional thinking, and railing against some of the most prominent public health institutions in America. 

We hope you’ll join us for this stellar panel discussion on Tuesday, January 27 by becoming a CHD Insider.

In gratitude,

The Children’s Health Defense Team
