Born in Ukraine, Tetyana Obukhanych came to the United States to pursue her education. In 2006, she defended her Ph.D. thesis in Immunology at The Rockefeller University, New York, NY. She subsequently held postdoctoral research training appointments in prominent immunology laboratories affiliated with Harvard Medical School and Stanford University School of Medicine. In 2015, she became a Founding Director of Physicians for Informed Consent, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to safeguarding informed consent in vaccination and educating the public on infectious disease and the immune system.
Dr. Obukhanych's personal reason to start questioning vaccination programs began with her desire to gain clarity about why she ended up contracting childhood diseases for which she was fully vaccinated. Indoctrinated to believe that the equivalence of vaccine immunity and naturally-acquired immunity has been scientifically established, Dr. Obukhanych nevertheless took a "second" look at the relevant scientific findings. Her e-book Vaccine Illusion articulates a view that challenges mainstream assumptions and theories of lifelong vaccine immunity.
Her personal journey from disillusionment with the vaccination paradigm toward embracing the immune system care paradigm has motivated her to lecture at conferences and educational events throughout the USA and Canada. Dr. Obukhanych's mission is to promote the understanding of the immune system's optimal function for benign resolution of infections, thereby preventing health complications and deaths from infectious diseases. She teaches online classes on natural immunity at Building Bridges in Children's Health.
