On Immunity

On Immunity

by Eula Biss

In 'On Immunity: An Inoculation,' Eula Biss delves deep into the cultural narratives and fears surrounding vaccinations through the lens of a new mother grappling with the desire to protect her child from the perils of the world. As the author navigates her personal anxieties, the book emerges as a reflective journey that intersects with literature, medical history, and socio-political discussions about the nature of immunity. Biss systematically deconstructs the myths and metaphors of immunization to reveal a universal interconnectivity of bodies and fates, bringing to light the challenging but necessary discourse on public health and personal responsibility.
