Overview Med pennen mot pesten

For more than ten years, Ingeborg Senneset has used her pen and keyboard as weapons to fight against ignorance, science hostility and vaccine resistance. With her background both as a journalist and a nurse, she has taken up the fight against the 'plague', both figuratively and literally - the flood of misinformation, outright lies and unfounded fear that through algorithms ravage the internet and social media. And the specific: pandemics, the spread of infection and unnecessary illnesses that result from vaccine skepticism and unfounded fear of all the new possibilities of modern medicine. And behind it lurks perhaps the most dangerous threat of all: Antibiotic resistance.
