520 |a As new vaccines proliferate, this book asks where our faith in vaccines comes from. For most people, vaccines have become the magic bullets for dealing with dangerous diseases.

The author examines four cases that span the twentieth century-diphtheria, rubella, pertussis, and HIV/AIDS. Each case challenges the reader to examine how the values we attribute to vaccines influence their use. - Publisher.
