Herding Immunity

A look at the long history of vaccines, yesterday, today and still to come.
Once largely an issue for parents and children, vaccines now occupy a central space in the very heart of our national conversation. We've all been forced to think about this subject closely for over two years. In the absence of a COVID-19 vaccine, thousands of deaths from a single virus once again swept the earth. Millions of Americans now suffer from the aftermath as they cope with the effects of long haul COVID.
Life Before and After Vaccines moves the reader from the early history of vaccines into modern conversations about this subject. In the book, the author connects the dots between the modern anti-vax movement and previous anti-vax movements. She will help readers understand the history of vaccines and the equally long history of vaccination opposition.
Life Before and After Vaccines also explores the many large and small ways that lack of access to vaccination has meant societal change, and includes updates on several of the topics in the author's previous work.
