ISBN: 9780465029624.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2010, California suffered the largest and deadliest outbreak of pertussis, also known as “whooping cough,€ in more than fifty years. This tragedy was avoidable. An effective vaccine has been available since the 1940s. In recent years other diseases, like measles and mumps, have also made a comeback. The reason for these epidemics can be traced to a group whose vocal proponents insist, despite evidence to the contrary, that vaccines are poison. As a consequence, parents and caretakers are rejecting vaccines for themselves and their families.In Deadly Choices, infectious-disease expert Paul Offit takes a look behind the curtain of the anti-vaccine movement. What he finds is a reminder of the power of scientific knowledge, and the harm we risk if we ignore it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44977417027637,"sku":"ByrdShop_0465029620","price":24.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780465029624_b1b91176-f045-4335-aaea-2b5f5b0ce87c.jpg?v=1778734860","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/deadly-choices-how-the-antivaccine-movement-threatens-us-all-9780465029624","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
