To be honest, I'm fairly knowledgeable about vaccines, and I only purchased this book just to add to my library. I had read several other books from Paul Offit and Seth Mnookin about vaccines, and I'm pretty well tied into research articles on vaccines and immunology, so I wasn't sure I'd be reading it.Then, one evening I decided to read the book. What I like about the book?1. Careful, thoughtful explanation and debunking of many of the myths of the anti-vaccine group.2. The section on vaccine ingredients was well written. This section will now be my go-to source when I write about vaccines.3. Well cited, with sources from major peer-reviewed journals. I don't know precisely how many citations there are in the book, but it numbers into the hundreds. (And using the Kindle on my iPad, means all links are hot, so I can quickly review them in a browser).4. Being a history aficionado, I love the story about Jenner and the way we came to stop smallpox, a disease that has been eradicated by vaccines. There were other historical vignettes that were interesting too.5. The chapter on the HPV vaccine should be a must-read for any parent with teenagers. The HPV vaccine stops a deadly cancer. Period, end of story.6. The authors stay calm, rational and optimistic about vaccines. They don't drop into ad hominems or even simple frustration with the outrageous fabrications of the anti-vaccine crowd.If you vaccinate your kids, and you don't need convincing, then read this book because you'll have information when someone inevitably gives you some anti-vaccine "advice.
