Recensioner

fascinating book, not for the faint of heart. Parts are set in the concentration camps and most is in Poland during the war years, so there is much that is disturbing. The science is interesting, the way they transmit the disease to the louses and the urine based vaccine particularly so. The questions of morality, what constituted collaboration, should a doctor produce a vaccine that is ineffective, intentionally, are thought provoking. Great read

Meticulously researched, passionately argued piece of hidden history. I learned a lot but wish that the author had provided some aids for readers, such as an annotated list of the principal figures involved. There were MANY of them, and it made it difficult to reorient myself every time I picked the book up again. Still, well worth the time.

Very interesting account of the history of vaccines. Starts with the original vaccines against smallpox and goes on to the advanced vaccines made with recombinant DNA and stuff like that. Covers successes and failures of the vaccine market but has hope for a brighter future.

Good overview of the history of this medicinal procedure, and the misguided intentions both for and against it.
