Detailed version
On January 11, 2018, Dr. Stanley Plotkin was questioned in a deposition related to a family law dispute in Michigan. This event took place at the Golden Plough Inn in New Hope, Pennsylvania. The questioning was conducted by attorney Aaron Siri, representing one of the parties in the dispute. The deposition itself was not a formal hearing but rather part of legal proceedings where Plotkin was called as an expert witness due to his extensive background in vaccinology.
The focus of the questioning was on various aspects of vaccine development, safety, and ethical concerns, including the use of fetal tissue in vaccine production, vaccine efficacy, and safety data. Plotkin discussed his role in developing vaccines like those for rubella, rabies, and rotavirus, and addressed concerns about vaccine-related side effects and the ethical implications of using certain cell lines in vaccine production. This deposition has been referenced in discussions around vaccine hesitancy and the transparency of vaccine research and development.
