Hosting a panel on vaccine misinformation, Jeannie Gaffigan didn’t mention her Emmy-nominated comedy writing or the sitcom she produced based loosely on her life. She introduced herself simply as a “normal mom of five.” Surrounded by Zoom boxes featuring medical experts, Gaffigan, wife of Catholic comedian Jim Gaffigan, gave her credentials simply as “concerned mother.” The panel’s attempt to reach vaccine hesitant Catholics began with the question: What makes information — and the authority behind it — trustworthy? Is it shared experience, shared faith, or is the scientific evidence enough?
