" Mnookin takes on the ever-growing anti-vaccine movement, armed with overwhelming scientific evidence rather than anecdotal support. There are many factors at play in the controversy, from Andrew Wakefield's severely flawed 1998 study linking the MMR vaccine to autism (sparking the current movement) to a media which chooses emotional soundbites over concrete evidence. Unfortunately, the decision to opt-out of vaccination is not a personal one; society as a whole is affected. Whooping cough, pertussis, measles and Hib are reappearing at alarming rates with often tragic consequences. Well-researched and clearly presented, Mnookin says what needs to be said. "
