Political and social intrigue have often accompanied vaccination from the divisive introduction of smallpox inoculation in colonial Boston to the 9,000 lawsuits recently

Vaccine juxtaposes the stories of brilliant scientists with the industry's struggle to produce safe, effective, and profitable vaccines. It focuses on the role of military and medical authority in the introduction of vaccines and looks at why some parents have resisted this authority. Political and social intrigue have often accompanied vaccination--from the divisive introduction of smallpox inoculation in colonial Boston to the 9,000 lawsuits recently filed by parents convinced that vaccines caused their children's autism. With narrative grace and investigative journalism, Arthur Allen reveals a history illuminated by hope and shrouded by controversy, and he sheds new light on changing notions of health, risk, and the common good.

Doesn’t last long
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Both my dogs chewed these up way too fast. Disappointing because I was hoping it would last longer. No odor. Size as expected. They seem to like the taste and had no issues in digesting it

Lasted less than 60 seconds - 6 month puppy.
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Lasted less than 60 seconds ! Stop calling a product a chew. When there is nothing lasting. I should start returning products that are misrepresented. And stop reading reviews.
