Providing accurate, accessible information on vaccines and the controversies that surround them, this book outlines the history of vaccine regulation and interactions between vaccines and the immune system, and thoughtfully considers each vaccine debate. A part of Greenwood's Health and Medical Issues Today series, The Vaccine Debate provides a straightforward introduction to the interaction between vaccines and the immune system. The book documents the rise of the anti-vaccination movement, provides reasons for its prominence today, and explains the effects of vaccine refusal on public health. It also addresses concerns about the role of government in regulating vaccine production and administration, along with questions about vaccine safety. Additionally, a majority of the book examines in detail seven major vaccine controversies and mainstream medical positions on them. These controversies are given individual attention, with questions at the end of each to encourage critical thinking about such topics as the effectiveness of vaccines in protecting public health and whether vaccinations should be mandatory for public school attendance.

A New History of Vaccines for Infectious Diseases: Immunization - Chance and Necessity covers the developments of vaccines and how they have obliterated many fatal diseases and infections over time. The book treads a neutral path but does not avoid discussion. As uncertainty in the outcome of vaccination can only be determined by experiment, the path to vaccine development has been scientifically complex because the immune system and the manner in which humans respond to infection is variable and complex. Finally, the book describes the risks and benefits of vaccines in a visibly objective manner.

"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.
