If you believe vaccination has saved more lives and prevented more suffering than any other medical intervention in our recent history... that vaccines were magic bullets that saved us from our infectious past... that if we all stopped using them tomorrow, deaths would soar... then this book is essential reading.

Fooling ourselves: on the fundamental value of vaccines examines these beliefs and concludes, using official data, simple logic and illustrations, that we have indeed been fooling ourselves for a very long time.

Blow by blow, the book de-constructs the "foundation" upon which vaccines have held their court for ages. It crushes our fundamental belief. It then searches for real evidence of value. The results are startling. The author demonstrates that its supposed benefit is not borne out by the figures.
