Coulter (1932–2009) was an American medical historian and author known for his work on homeopathy and alternative medicine. He earned a Ph. D. In history from Columbia University and wrote extensively on the history of medical practices, particularly focusing on the divide between conventional and alternative medicine. His most notable work, Divided Legacy, is a multi-volume series tracing the historical conflict between allopathic and homeopathic medicine. He was also a strong critic of modern vaccination practices and co-authored DPT: A Shot in the Dark with Barbara Loe Fisher, which argued that the diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus (DPT) vaccine carried significant risks. Coulter's work remains influential among advocates of alternative medicine and vaccine safety reform. Barbara Loe Fisher is an American activist and co-founder of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) , an organization that advocates for informed consent and vaccine safety. She became involved in vaccine issues after her son experienced adverse reactions following a routine childhood vaccination. In 1985, she co-authored DPT: A Shot in the Dark with Harris L. Coulter, a book that raised concerns about potential risks associated with the pertussis vaccine. Since then, she has been a vocal advocate for parental rights and medical choice, frequently speaking at conferences and testifying before government panels on vaccine policy. Fisher has played a key role in influencing vaccine legislation and public awareness campaigns, and her work has been central to the ongoing debate over vaccine safety and mandates..
