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.
"This book occupies a space between research and reflection, investigating our attitudes toward immunity and inoculation through a personal and cultural lens."
評分在講作為媽媽一方麵想要信任疫苗一方麵又太愛自己孩子瞭的糾結,有趣的reference在前麵講完瞭中段開始聯係capitalism開始做作起來
評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)。
評分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.
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
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...
評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...
評分文/夏丽柠 朋友高烧原因不明,只能一直住在重症监护室里,看着病友们出生入死。医生诊断只说“免疫力出了问题”,便再无下文。后来,朋友有幸病愈出院,向医生探寻医治良方,令人意料不到的是,医生竟然摇着头说,用了那多种药,也不知道是哪种起了作用,也许是它们合力的作用...
評分这本书的故事是从一个年轻妈妈的亲身经历开始的,这个开头非常抓人。 当一个新生儿初到这个世界时,为人父母者真的是充满期待且又很焦虑。婴儿将不得不面对种种危险,我们社会中存在的各种不安全的因素在孩子这里就更加险恶。同时,为人父母者得帮孩子去做各种重大选择,责任相...
