Krátky popis
Vaccines have helped mankind to tackle the dire threat of
infectious disease for more than a hundred years. They have become
key tools of public health and scientists are charged with
developing them as quickly as possible to combat the emergence of
new diseases such as Zika, SARS and Ebola. But why are growing
numbers of parents all over the world now questioning the wisdom of
having their children vaccinated? Why have public-sector vaccine
producers been sold off? And can we trust the multinational
corporations that increasingly dominate vaccine development and
production? In this controversial new book, Stuart Blume argues
that the processes of globalization and people's unsatisfied
healthcare needs are eroding faith in the institutions producing
and providing vaccines. He tells the history of immunization
practices, from the work of early pioneers such as Louis Pasteur
and Robert Koch to the establishment of the World Health
Organization and the introduction of genetic engineering.
Immunization exposes the limits of public health authorities while
suggesting how they can restore our confidence.Public health
experts and all those considering vaccinations should read this
timely history.
