Autism's False Prophets : Bad Science Risky Medicine and the Search for a Cure

Autism's False Prophets : Bad Science Risky Medicine and the Search for a Cure

Item 9780231146364

In this controversial work, a doctor and vaccine expert chronicles the dramatic story of the search for the causes of autism, focusing on the profound impact of the now-discredited landmark 1998 study on the vaccine-autism connection. Through in-depth interviews and accessible scientific explanations, the colorful account examines how academic research, celebrity, politics, and journalism can intersect to misinform the public and ultimately affect the long-term health of children with or without the disease. Photos throughout.

"[T]he book is an examination of science and society that's enlightening, highly readable and--given the recent news about the resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases as a result of parents' refusal to vaccinate their children--timely."
