Read in March, 2011

Puts the anti-vaccine movement in its proper context, i.e. anti-science very much like the denial of climate change. Both anti-scientific movements share a common tool: bad and irresponsible journalism. Not sure how many of those opposed to vaccines would actually read this book though.

Seth Mnookin is a very clear and engaging writer. I also immensely enjoyed his book about the Red Sox - Feeding the Monster.
