More about the book

The book delves into the complex reasons behind parental refusal to vaccinate children, highlighting both epistemic and moral failures. It discusses how some parents, valuing personal judgment over medical expertise, may develop distorted beliefs about vaccines. Additionally, it explores the differing values between vaccine advocates and refusers, particularly regarding health perceptions. It critiques the individualistic mindset that allows some to benefit from herd immunity while ignoring the societal impact of their choices, ultimately questioning the effectiveness of utilitarian arguments in this debate.
