There's a silent, dangerous war going on out there. On one
side are parents, bombarded with stories about the dangers
of vaccines, now wary of immunizing their sons and
daughters. On the other side are doctors, scared to send
kids out of their offices vulnerable to illnesses like
whooping cough and measles--the diseases of their grandparents. How did anyone come to view vaccines with horror? The answer
is rooted in one of the most powerful citizen activist
movements in our nation's history. In Deadly Choices,
infectious disease expert Paul Offit relates the shocking
story of anti-vaccine America--its origins, leaders,
influences, and impact. Offering strategies to keep us from
returning to an era when children routinely died from
infections, Deadly Choices is a vigorous and definitive
rebuttal of the powerful anti-vaccine movement.
