"The coronavirus pandemic that began in 2019 brought to the fore the presence of a significant minority of individuals who strongly oppose vaccination. This opposition is by no means recent. Ever since the very first attempts to immunize individuals, opposition has been intense in some societies. The reasons for this opposition range from religious to political to medical. Although vaccines have eliminated smallpox and largely eliminated polio and measles, opposition to vaccination persists and, in some countries, has grown stronger.A History of Vaccines and Their Opponents seeks to describe the history of this opposition as well as its changing rationale over the years and in different societies. The discussion may ultimately provide some suggestions for reducing hesitancy in the future." --

"Avant la pandémie de Covid-19, l'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) avait placé le refus vaccinal au rang de l'une des trois plus grandes urgences de santé publique mondiale. L'OMS a constaté une chute régulière de la couverture vaccinale contre la rougeole et une recrudescence des épidémies dans le monde. Dans le même temps, les sites Internet antivaccin ont proliféré et ont fait de nombreux adeptes en usant de désinformation et de théories du complot. Ces 'antivaccin', du parent au militant, se rejoignent sur un point: la peur des effets indésirables des vaccins. Plus spécifiquement, ils ont peur de voir leurs enfants développer une forme d'autisme à la suite de l'inoculation du vaccin. Cette croyance, à présent tenace, a pourtant une origine scientifique qui explique pourquoi elle s'est diffusée à ce point dans le monde entier et a fait le lit de la défiance actuelle d'une frange de la population vis-à-vis des vaccins anti-covid. Cet ouvrage vise donc à retracer la chaîne des événements qui a mené à cette catastrophe mondiale de santé publique. Afin de comprendre comment la science a pu alimenter nombre de fausses croyances sur la vaccination, les points de vue de scientifiques, de journalistes et de citoyens sont ici examinés tour à tour"--Page 4 of cover.

Mass immunization is the blitzkrieg of vaccination practice. It serves to rapidly protect populations, both because of the high coverage achieved and because of the herd immunity thereby induced. However, as in war, mass immunization campaigns must be conducted intelligently, with careful strategy and strong attention to logistics of supply and deployment. If conducted badly, mass immunization may fail or even be counter-productive. In this volume, some of the most successful practitioners of mass im- nization tell us about its art and science. David Heymann and Bruce Aylward of WHO begin the book with a theoretical and practical overview of mass immunization. Michael Lane, who participated in the successful effort to eradicate smallpox relates how this was done using mass vaccination and other strategies. Application of mass immunization by the US military is c- ered by John Grabenstein and Remington Nevin, who have a large experience in these matters. Karen Noakes and David Salisbury recount the striking s- cesses of mass immunization in the United Kingdom. The global control of the clostridia that produce diphtheria toxin is described by Charles Vitek. Hepa- tis A is decreasing dramatically under the impact of large-scale vaccination, as Francis André illustrates. The French experience with Hepatitis B vac- nation has been mixed, and François Denis and Daniel Levy-Bruhl explain the circumstances. In?uenza vaccination is an annual example of large-scale campaigns, the complexity of which is recounted by Benjamin Schwartz and Pascale Wortley.
