Unvaxxed is a nuanced, timely look at vaccine hesitancy and how
uncertainty and misinformation have influenced the Australian
experience of the COVID-19 pandemic. Written by award-winning
science journalist Dyani Lewis, this is the second book in The
Crikey Read series by Crikey and Hardie Grant Books. Anti-vax
protests, the 'scamdemic', disproven home remedies: how did we get
here? The realities of lockdowns and the erosion of trust in
government and authority have fed into a small but significant
history of anti-vaxxing in Australia that has found unlikely
bedfellows in the QAnon conspiracy cult, white supremacy movements
and the wellness community. The genie is out of the bottle - what
do we do now? Do vaccine mandates work, or do they simply hasten
the erosion of trust and the spread of different kinds of 'truth'
on the subject of vaccines? And what is the actual first-hand human
fallout from vaccine refusal for families split over the issue?
Interweaving personal experience and first-hand narratives from
those on the frontlines alongside smart, perceptive and
compassionate commentary on the scientific and sociocultural
effects of vaccine misinformation, Unvaxxed plots a sorely needed
way forward for Australia in 2022. From Crikey and Hardie Grant
Books, The Crikey Read is a series that brings an unflinching and
truly independent eye to the issues of the day in Australia and the
world.
