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.
Eula Biss is the author of Notes from No Man's Land, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism, and The Balloonists. Her essays have appeared in the Believer and Harper's Magazine. She teaches at Northwestern University and lives in Chicago, Illinois.

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...
评分从急诊科女超人于莺到儿科男神崔玉涛,从中里巴人《求医不如求己》到协和张羽《只有医生知道》,线上线下医者的爆红,既反映民众对健康的关注,也透射着些许无奈:我们需要有人为健康仗义执言,但本可交付生命的医疗行业却面临信任危机。难道真的要闭门造车自学成医吗? 尤拉...
评分读这本的书的机缘巧合,是朋友和我商量要不要去注射HPV疫苗,在那之后我又问了很多人对疫苗的看法,大家的态度一半是谨慎小心,另一半是全盘接受。于是我打算看看这本书,这本书并没有难懂的医学术语,格局开阔,读的时候发现了很多之前没有想到或者置若罔闻的观点。 疾病的传...
评分灭菌香皂并不比普通香皂更有用,就是因为没有必要消灭所有在我们眼里都是“肮脏”的细菌。科学家卡尔·齐默说:“我们和它们之间难分彼此。” 我们对于疫苗并不陌生,从刚出生起就要陆续接种许多疫苗。疫苗到底该不该打,疫苗的安全性究竟如何,这些问题混合着我们的不安,...
