This is a lovely book that explains so many issues surrounding vaccinations and public health. Biss has taken the time to study the issues in depth, partly as a parent who wanted to do what is best for her son. The daughter of a doctor, science and research are familiar to her but as a mother, it is sometimes easy to get pulled into doubt when you read about others who question what is best. What do you owe society? How much control should the government have in matters that relate to public health? What is herd immunity, its' benefits and who should be responsible for it?
Biss is very careful with her words and doesn't cast doubters or believers into any pot but seems to encourage conversations and points to the benefits of education and understanding the issues involved.
