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.
not worth the time, at all
评分有干货,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not worth the time, at all
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...
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...
评分最初不知是哪里看到有人推荐,说这不是一本介绍人的免疫系统的组成、运行,疫苗运作之类的医学科普书籍,而是从社会、语言、历史等各个方面,去谈我们对于免疫的理解和认知等等。 想到近年来美国的反疫苗事件、重出江湖的美国日本麻疹疫情,同时也出于身体原因,对免疫系统产生...
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...
