评分文/吴情 准妈妈们常常会为自己的宝贝担忧。试想一下,一个脆弱的生命,如何才能在充满各种细菌、病毒的世界里健康成长呢?接受过些许医学教育的人可能提出建议:接种疫苗,打预防针。然而,这一看似简单的行为,背后却牵扯到一系列论争,经济政治学方面的,社会学方面...
评分说到阅读《免疫》这本书,不能不说是一次冲动的体验,听过《八分》中一期讲到借种疫苗的节目后就冲动地买下了它。 出乎我意料之外的是,这本书的作者尤拉.比斯并不是相关问题的专业人士,而这本书也不像我最初认为的那样是一本介绍免疫的科普书。这本书确切的说是作者初为人母...
评分这本书的故事是从一个年轻妈妈的亲身经历开始的,这个开头非常抓人。 当一个新生儿初到这个世界时,为人父母者真的是充满期待且又很焦虑。婴儿将不得不面对种种危险,我们社会中存在的各种不安全的因素在孩子这里就更加险恶。同时,为人父母者得帮孩子去做各种重大选择,责任相...

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.
有干货,很多东西以前从没想过。但是注水也不少,德古拉童鞋你辛苦了~
评分not worth the time, at all
评分在讲作为妈妈一方面想要信任疫苗一方面又太爱自己孩子了的纠结,有趣的reference在前面讲完了中段开始联系capitalism开始做作起来
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
评分一开始读的时候还以为是讲免疫力的科学原理的,读着读着才发现太软了,就是针对疫苗恐慌的科普书,我根本不属于这本书的目标群体,读来无趣(开头除外)。
