informative sad medium-paced

2.0

Interesting topic but the author is so political. Tries to be tongue in cheek but instead is arrogant and belittling. When presenting such information it might do better to have a sense of reverence for those who have died or are suffering. She is also extremely pro big pharma and only briefly skims over the cutter incident while berating anyone hesitant to vaccination, which shows so much bias rather than actual understanding. I feel as if there are better books on the subject matter.
