具體描述
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.

讀後感
随着果壳那种不正常文风的科普小品在科普界异军突起，科学式幽默sheldon式段子越来越多，不经意流露的炫智商／炫理性思维越来越少（或越来越萌贱化），科普的受众面也就广了许多。然而，这样的科普还是把一些并不逗逼，不解风情的人们送出了观众席。如中老年，无幽默细胞者，还...

用戶評價
我要是有娃瞭肯定每天都愁這些瞭呀呀呀
评分太散瞭，沒有特彆eloquent的段落……視角是難得的，反思瞭知識的生産與傳播，但還是感覺沒有說到點子上。得讓醫學人類學的人來講，而不是一個記者
评分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.
评分一開始讀的時候還以為是講免疫力的科學原理的，讀著讀著纔發現太軟瞭，就是針對疫苗恐慌的科普書，我根本不屬於這本書的目標群體，讀來無趣（開頭除外）。
评分專業詞匯有點多，說實話，沒看太懂
