Why do we fear vaccines? A provocative examination by Eula Biss, the author of Notes from No Man’s Land, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award
Upon becoming a new mother, Eula Biss addresses a chronic condition of fear—fear of the government, the medical establishment, and what is in your child’s air, food, mattress, medicine, and vaccines. She finds that you cannot immunize your child, or yourself, from the world.
In this bold, fascinating book, Biss investigates the metaphors and myths surrounding our conception of immunity and its implications for the individual and the social body. As she hears more and more fears about vaccines, Biss researches what they mean for her own child, her immediate community, America, and the world, both historically and in the present moment. She extends a conversation with other mothers to meditations on Voltaire’s Candide, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, Susan Sontag’s AIDS and Its Metaphors, and beyond. On Immunity is a moving account of how we are all interconnected—our bodies and our fates.
我要是有娃了肯定每天都愁这些了呀呀呀
评分I always have a peculiar interest in the social aspect of science and medicine. This book leads me to think about the roles of the very concept of "self" in immunology. I appreciate how Eula Biss shares her personal journey of becoming a mother, while some may find it digression. However, I agree that the contents could be more coherent.
评分太散了,没有特别eloquent的段落……视角是难得的,反思了知识的生产与传播,但还是感觉没有说到点子上。得让医学人类学的人来讲,而不是一个记者
评分作者仅凭自己新晋妈妈的烦恼就写了这么一本书,里面具有干货的鲜明观点不少,但写的实在太乱,看的很苦。不知怎么能成为钱门的推荐书的
