Recenzii
In Stuck, anthropologist Heidi Larson explains why debunking vaccine misinformation with logic, reason, and scientific facts are not nearly enough. By viewing vaccine refusal as a cultural movement, Larson explains how it is only through understanding the root causes of false beliefs about vaccines that we can begin to change them. A compelling guide on how to treat the disease and not the symptoms.
Vaccine hesitancy has emerged as a major 21st-century public health threat, resulting in declines in vaccine coverage and the return of serious or even deadly infections such as measles or pertussis. Now more than ever we have to be concerned about the impact of misinformation and rumors on the acceptance of new vaccines for these conditions. Heidi Larson's book provides important insights to help us navigate these difficulties.
Heidi Larson's excellent new book looks at why vaccine rumors cannot simply be put to rest with more evidence and debunking. As she compellingly argues, emotions and sentiments take on lives of their own, spreading between sympathetic individuals and propagating. Fear, mistrust, and anger all play key roles in vaccine denialism, and to ignore these factors is to badly misdiagnose why people do not vaccinate. To change the denier, Larson argues, one must change the ecosystem of doubt and mistrust they live in.
Stuck offers an examination of vaccine rumors—the narratives, the social vectors that transmit them, and how they manifest in different contexts...the characterization of Stuck as a helpful addition to misinformation studies.
