Description

“A timely, fair-minded and crisply written account.”―New York Times Book Review

Vaccine juxtaposes the stories of brilliant scientists with the industry’s struggle to provide protected, effective, and profitable vaccines. It specializes in the role of military and medical authority within the introduction of vaccines and appears at why a few parents have resisted this authority. Political and social intrigue have incessantly accompanied vaccination―from the divisive introduction of smallpox inoculation in colonial Boston to the 9,000 lawsuits recently filed by parents convinced that vaccines brought about their children’s autism. With narrative grace and investigative journalism, Arthur Allen reveals a history illuminated by hope and shrouded by controversy, and he sheds new light on changing notions of health, risk, and the typical just right.
