Book cover of 疫苗:兩種恐懼的拔河
by 尤拉・畢斯(Eula Biss)
Language: Chinese
Release Date: November 2, 2017

沒有人可以忍受自己的小孩受到傷害, 問題是我們不知道這是在傷害他,或是在保護他……   比爾.蓋茲:「這本書是獻給新手父母最棒的禮物!」   祖克伯「臉書讀書會」(A Year of Books**)引爆討論熱潮** 比爾.蓋茲部落格(gatesnotes)專文鄭重推薦   【國內外眾多好評推薦】 比爾.蓋茲2015年夏季推薦書單 比爾.蓋茲2015TED大會推薦書單 榮登《紐約時報》暢銷書榜 入圍美國國家書評獎 入選《紐約時報》十大年度好書 入選《出版人週刊》每週選書 《芝加哥論壇報》、《出版人週刊》、《洛杉磯時報》、科克斯書評等各大媒體熱烈推薦 台灣健康服務協會理事長/中研院生醫所兼任研究員 何美鄉 好評推薦 ** ** 「為什麼祖克伯、比爾.蓋茲都不約而同選擇推薦這本書?」 疫苗該不該打已經成為全球熱議的話題, 這本書是我們在醫學、社會和心理層面的最佳引導。   在成為母親之前,她從來沒有想過自己會展開這樣一場探索之旅, 對寶寶的愛、潛意識裡的恐懼、意識形態的作祟…… 面對盤根錯節的掙扎,她該如何做出不後悔的決定?   醒來、睡著、吸奶和哭泣,她筆記本裡的含糊註記全是關於她的寶寶;她也擔心枕頭和毯子可能害他窒息,牆上的含鉛油漆和飲水中的六價鉻可能害他生病──但一個母親需要擔心的事情遠多於這些,尤其棘手的是,該不該讓自己的寶寶打疫苗?   她從兒子出生前幾個月開始糾結於這個問題,她參與其他母親們的討論、請教專家,也埋頭研讀文獻,試圖釐清自己及群眾對疫苗的恐懼到底從何而來,又會對社會全體造成什麼影響。這複雜難解的迷宮她一走就是五年,也因而有了這本書的誕生……   這本書探討了 ※疫苗問題重重的起源如何讓它代表侵犯、腐化和污染的形象深埋人心。 ※疫苗中微量化學物質的威脅,究竟有無科學根據,抑或只是現代人對環境毒物的焦慮感的投射。 ※醫療體系中,重視專業權威的父權主義與病患至上的消費主義,信任如何成為緩解對立的解答。 ※當一個群體中的大多數人都接種疫苗,那麼少數未接種疫苗的人也會受惠、不易染病。問題是,誰該是那些少數? ※疫苗究竟是獲利至上的商品,還是拯救人命的道德工具?世界衛生組織的流感警報、政府的接種政策難道只是資本主義的騙局?   為了保護深愛的寶寶,有些疫苗,是不是不打比較好? 為了對抗恐怖的流行病,父母應該怎麼面對疫苗背後的風險? ** ** 【推薦】 「我非常喜歡這本書,所以我向所有TED大會的與會者大力推薦此書!」 ──比爾.蓋茲   「畢斯說的是我們國家的故事——一個從沒人預料到會發生的故事。」 ——《芝加哥論壇報》評論《來自無人之地的筆記》   「對環繞著疫苗接種的種種文化迷思做出思想深刻又追根究底的分析。畢斯在自己內心與她的社群內部挖掘,要理解這樣的迷思是怎麼樣、以及為什麼會在社會中得到牽引的力量。」 ——丹妮艾爾・歐弗利(Danielle...
