By reading this summary, you will learn that vaccination is not a danger, but an act of citizen protection.

You will also learn that :

over time, vaccination has always inspired fear and mistrust;
paradoxically, man aspires to immunize himself against diseases, while rejecting the foreign body that offers it to him;
suspected of containing toxic substances, associated with sexual immorality or accused of embodying the evils of capitalism, vaccines are the object of a multitude of fantasies;
this fierce resistance is very often that of privileged populations;
each vaccinated person is the guarantor of collective immunization;
for a better protected and more serene society, it is necessary to restore confidence in medicine, to tame individualism and fear of others.
Vaccination is one of the most emotional issues in the world of medicine. It involves not the individual alone, but the choice of a parent. In fact, while everyone aspires to protect their children from harm and suffering, vaccines have always aroused anxieties. This dilemma is based on a fundamental problem of trust that questions governments, the pharmaceutical industry and the medical institution. Between historical-cultural roots and scientific realities, you will find here the keys to better understand and overcome your fears. Immunize yourself!
