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.
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.
评分挺不错的。我没把这本书当做科普读物看,因为它根本不是来告诉别人具体知识的,它是在帮人树立正确的态度——全面、理性地看待免疫这个问题,避免偏激和恐慌。
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not a well-structured book, bits of useful information here and there, entangled with emotionnal recounts of early motherhood
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)。
这本书的作者是一个年轻的母亲。在是否给孩子接种疫苗的问题上,她做了很多功课。她研究了各种疫苗的历史和研究历程。她的观点是接种疫苗,使自身获得免疫力不仅对自己,更是对群体有意义的。 这本书是由无数小文章组成的,每一篇都是作者由自己孩子的情况写开去,探讨某一种曾...
评分首先这不是一本专业的科普读物,而是一本由一位母亲为了更好的保护自己的孩子,旨在让孩子能健康成长的随笔。所以还是一本比较好读的书。 其次,正因这本书是一本随笔,所以可以随手拿起来翻开任意一章阅读。 读完这本书,做完幕布复盘后,印象最深的是作者提到的“群体免疫力...

评分出差一个礼拜,没有跟爸妈通过电话。今天回到办公室,看到桌上堆着五本《免疫》的样书。这是出差前一直在编辑的、最上心的书。 突然想起小时候跟爸妈间的两件事。 第一件事发生时,我刚刚记事,印象很浅,详细的来龙去脉都是后来妈妈讲给我听的。当时我体质不佳,但那个年月,...
评分《免疫》是美国女作家生子后给孩子接种疫苗的焦虑而催生的一本书,是作者对疫苗进而对免疫、美国公共卫生体系的一系列研究和思考的三十篇散文汇总,原作出版于2014年。此书原版在亚马逊网站上176人评价,获得4星好评(满分5分),另外也得到了比尔 盖茨、扎克伯格等人的赞誉。 ...
