Norton & Company,c2007  a523 p., [16] p. of plates :bill. ;c25 cm.  a"In this account of vaccination's miraculous, inflammatory past and its uncertain future, journalist Arthur Allen reveals a history both illuminated with hope and shrouded by controversy--from Edward Jenner's discovery of smallpox vaccine in 1796 to Pasteur's vaccines for rabies and cholera, to those that safeguarded the children of the twentieth century, and finally to the tumult currently surrounding vaccination. Faced with threats from anthrax to AIDS, we are a vulnerable population and can no longer depend on vaccines; numerous studies have linked childhood vaccination with various neurological disorders, and our pharmaceutical companies are more attracted to the profits of treatment than to the prevention of disease.--From publisher description."--From source other than the Library of Congress 0aVaccinationxHistory. 0aCommunicable diseasesxPreventionxHistory.12aVaccinationxhistoryzUnited States.12aVaccinesxhistoryzUnited States.22aDissent and DisputesxhistoryzUnited States.22aHealth PolicyxhistoryzUnited States.22aHistory, Modern 1601-zUnited States.22aVaccinationxadverse effectszUnited States.22aVaccinesxadverse effectszUnited States.
