Upon becoming a new mother, Eula Biss addresses a chronic condition of fear: fear of the government, the medical establishment, and what is in children's food, mattresses, medicines, and vaccines.

As she hears more and more fears about vaccines, Biss researches what they mean for her own child, her immediate community, America, and the world.
