Values and Vaccines
Aeon, 2016
¿De qué se trata?
Some parents don’t vaccinate their children because they regard any risk to their offspring as more important than any danger to society.
Recommendation
Scientists and journalists alike often assume that parents who refuse to vaccinate their children are, at best, uninformed, or, at worst, willfully negligent. But what if there were another side to this story? In this groundbreaking essay, science journalist Maggie Koerth-Baker goes in search of a new, philosophically-based narrative to explain why parents – especially the well-off, and well-educated – reject mandatory vaccination for their children. getAbstract recommends her article to everyone working in public health and to the parents of young children.
