This book was VERY well-done. I just wish we could have it read out loud to prospective parents persuaded by the credentials of Playboy bunnies who frighten them away from vaccines. This book clearly lays out where the scaremongers are wrong, WHY they are wrong, and why it matters to all of us. This has been an issue becoming increasingly worrying to me recently, since every year, as more and more parents refuse to vaccinate, the yearly pertussis outbreaks in my area get worse and worse. And my asthmatic son may some day pay the price for someone else's parenting choice. Scary. The science is clear, the issue is black and white, and it's high time someone like Dr. Offut had the courage to say so.
An even-handed look at the modern anti-vaccine movement that gives credit where it is due to improvements to vaccine safety, but also does not hesitate to debunk spurious claims. It also includes an overview of similar historical anti-vaccine movements, and some new scientific research about infant seizures. I also suggest Panic Virus if you are interested in this topic.
