SUMMARY:Adult Non-Fiction Book Club
DESCRIPTION:We will be reading Booster Shots by Adam Ratner. \n\n“Every 
 single child diagnosed with measles represents a system failure—an 
 inexcusable unforced error. The technology to prevent essentially 100 
 percent of measles cases has been in our hands since before the moon 
 landing. But this serious airborne disease\, once seemingly defeated\, is 
 resurgent around the globe. Why\, at a time when biomedical science is so 
 advanced\, do parents turn away from vaccination\, endangering their own 
 children and the health of the wider population?  Using a combination of 
 patient narrative\, historical analysis\, and scientific research\, Dr. 
 Adam Ratner\, pediatrician and infectious disease specialist\, argues that 
 the reawakening of measles and the subsequent coronavirus pandemic are 
 bellwethers of forgotten knowledge—indicators of decaying trust in 
 science and an underfunded public health infrastructure. Our collective 
 amnesia is starkly revealed in the growth of the antivaccine movement and 
 the missteps in our responses to the beginning of the coronavirus 
 outbreak\, leading to preventable tragedies in both 
 cases.”\n\nRegistration is required.
