Explore the past, present, and future of vaccines in a world grappling with misinformation and emerging health threats.

In Vaccine Nation, world-leading epidemiologist Raina MacIntyre examines the history of vaccines, how they work, and the impact of the anti-vaccination movement. From smallpox to COVID-19, discover the scientific breakthroughs and public policy debates that have shaped our understanding of immunization. MacIntyre tackles critical questions about vaccine safety, the rise of mRNA technology, and the ethical considerations surrounding vaccine mandates.

This insightful exploration is for anyone seeking to understand the role of vaccines in safeguarding global health.

  • Uncover the truth behind vaccine myths and disinformation.
  • Learn about new technologies like mRNA and their potential to fight cancer and other chronic diseases.
  • Understand the challenges of vaccine distribution and access in a globalized world.
Science must reclaim the stage, or we may lose centuries of gains that vaccines have brought to the world.
