" Vaccine reluctance and refusal are no longer limited to the margins of society. Debates around vaccines' necessity along with quesitons around their side effects have gone mainstream, blending with geopolitical conflicts, political campaigns, celebrity causes, and natural lifestyles to win a growing number of hearts and minds. Today's anti-vaccine positions find audiences where they've never existed previously. Stuck examines how the issues surrounding vaccine hesitancy are, more than anything, about people feeling left out of the conversation. A new dialogue is long overdue, one that addresses the many types of vaccine hesitancy and the social factors that perpetuate them. To do this, Stuck provides a clear-eyed examination of the social vectors that transmit vaccine rumors, their manifestations around the globe, and how these individual threads are all connected."

Rezension(1): "〈a href=https://www.booklistonline.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/booklist_logo.png alt=Booklist border=0 /〉〈/a〉: June 1, 2020 How do rumors about vaccines start, and how do they harm public health? In this timely, fascinating book, Larson clearly explains why conspiracy theories thrive when people feel uncertain and afraid, inducing them to distrust health workers and the government. The consequences can be serious. Immunization rates dropped for years after Andrew Wakefield and his colleagues published their now-retracted case study that falsely linked autism to the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines. Unfortunately, social media increases the rapid spread of doubt, although the first anti-vaccine league started in the mid-1850s in protest against a U.K. law making the smallpox vaccine compulsory. Pamphlets decried vaccines as being against God's plan and imposing on our freedom, our rights. Indeed, vaccination has always walked a tense line between personal choice and public health, writes Larson, a professor at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. With COVID-19 rampaging and hopes pinned on the quest for a vaccine, Larson's convincing argument that our quality of life depends on vaccines, which she calls an experiment in collectivism and cooperation, rings loud and clear.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
