The vaccination picture / words by Timothy Caulfield ; artwork by Cindy Baker, Blair Brennan, Sean Caulfield [and five others] ; book design by Sergio Serrano.
"Few topics in health policy have generated as much debate -- and frustration -- among public health experts as the issue of vaccine safety. Misinformation around the science of vaccination continues to spread, and too often the media fails to report bad science for what it is. Using science-informed analysis alongside original art and powerful essays, health science leader Timothy Caulfield debunks the myths and false assumptions about vaccination safety and effectiveness. Accessible, informative, and entertaining, The Vaccination Picture tells the true story of vaccines, their uses, and their positive effects for everyone." -- Provided by publisher.
