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.
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
评分作者仅凭自己新晋妈妈的烦恼就写了这么一本书,里面具有干货的鲜明观点不少,但写的实在太乱,看的很苦。不知怎么能成为钱门的推荐书的

评分not a well-structured book, bits of useful information here and there, entangled with emotionnal recounts of early motherhood
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...
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...
评分这本书我感觉一般,整本书都很散,作者围绕疫苗,免疫这方面,从生活很多小事出发写的碎片式的感想。但因为整本书就是以一个母亲对孩子是否需要接种疫苗的疑问作为出发点的,所以从生活中对孩子担忧的各个方面来分析、看待免疫这件事也是吸引人的一个角度吧。 但单从一个希望获...
评分出差一个礼拜,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,...
评分我从来不是一个很好的阅读者。这本书一年前就开始看了,中间放下了很久。心里想着无论如何不能让它跨年吧,总算读完了。恰逢2020年的春节赶上“非典”疫情之后又一次影响全国乃至世界的新型冠状病毒疫情,居然还有些应景。 不过很显然,这类调查型科普作品并不容易抓住我的思维...
