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.

評分not a well-structured book, bits of useful information here and there, entangled with emotionnal recounts of early motherhood
評分太散瞭,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
評分not worth the time, at all
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,...

評分作者尤拉·比斯在芝加哥任教,她的孩子出生时,正值H1N1禽流感疫情爆发。这本书就是源于一个母亲的单纯担忧:“是否选择接种,并不是我要不要保护我的儿子的问题,而是为了保护他,是不是值得去冒接种疫苗可能带来的风险问题。让我儿子接受疫苗,会不会像忒提斯在冥河浸洗阿喀...
評分出差一个礼拜,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,...
