If you have a child in school, you may have heard stories of
long-dormant diseases suddenly reappearing-cases of measles, mumps,
rubella, and whooping cough cropping up everywhere from elementary
schools to Ivy League universities because a select group of
parents refuse to vaccinate their children. Between Hope and Fear
tells the remarkable story of vaccine-preventable infectious
diseases and their social and political implications. While
detailing the history of vaccine invention, Kinch reveals the
ominous reality that our victories against vaccine-preventable
diseases are not permanent-and could easily be undone. In the
tradition of John Barry's The Great Influenza and Siddhartha
Mukherjee's The Emperor of All Maladies, Between Hope and Fear
relates the remarkable intersection of science, technology and
disease that has helped eradicate many of the deadliest plagues
known to man.
