Vaccinations are among mankind's most important scientific discoveries, yet they continue to be viewed with suspicion by part of the public - the victims of disinformation campaigns, instrumentalization and unfounded fears. There is, however, also an evolutionary explanation for these irrational beliefs, and countering the growing social opposition will be extremely difficult without grasping it. This book, which sheds new light on the safety and importance of vaccinations, is intended both for parents and those readers who want to understand the role of vaccinations in contemporary society, where the ease of access to knowledge is both a great opportunity and a great responsibility. The chapters follow a historical progression and conclude with a discussion of the most recent cognitive theories on how to overcome this opposition to vaccinations."--Back cover. 505 0 $a Who is afraid of vaccines? -- A brief history of anti-vaccination movements -- The accusations against vaccinations on the Internet: autism, mercury and immunological overload -- How to unmask the anti-vaccination "experts" -- The past, present and future of vaccines -- Conclusions. 500 $a "Based on a translation from the Italian language edition: Chi ha paura dei vaccini? by Andrea Grignolio, © Codice edizioni, Torino 2016."--Title page verso. 650 0 $a Vaccination. 650 0 $a Vaccination $x Complications. 650 0 $a Vaccines. 650 7 $a MEDICAL / Preventive Medicine. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Vaccination. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01163544 650 7 $a Vaccination $x Complications. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01163545 650 7 $a Vaccines. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01163573 700 1 $a Rundo, Joan, $e translator. 941 $a 4 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508022718.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20190808010319.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20190607010600.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190514013724.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CC886644760D11E987FF680497128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
