Vani Hari, a food influencer and blogger, has made controversial claims in her blog, "Food Babe." These claims have included that vaccines, such as the flu shot, can result in Alzheimer's disease and cancers. Kenan-Flagler Business School has faced recent controversy after inviting Hari to speak about her entrepreneurial success.
On one side of the debate, Dean Douglas Shackelford of Kenan-Flagler said free speech is important to consider in hosting controversial speakers like Hari. Others feel that Hari's visit could be harmful and spread information not based in science.
