( ) A detailed history of the vaccination movement, tracing its triumphs and tragedies from the earliest days of Cotton Mather to the present. This book attempts to address the concerns of the anti-vaccination movement by presenting a well-researched book on the evolution of modern day vaccines. A must-read for anyone who has been confused by the competing voices in the ongoing controversy. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"In this account of vaccination's miraculous, inflammatory past and its uncertain future, journalist Arthur Allen reveals a history both illuminated with hope and shrouded by controversy--from Edward Jenner's discovery of smallpox vaccine in 1796 to Pasteur's vaccines for rabies and cholera, to those that safeguarded the children of the twentieth century, and finally to the tumult currently surrounding vaccination. Faced with threats from anthrax to AIDS, we are a vulnerable population and can no longer depend on vaccines; numerous studies have linked childhood vaccination with various neurological disorders, and our pharmaceutical companies are more attracted to the profits of treatment than to the prevention of disease.--From publisher description."--From source other than the Library of Congress Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
