- Abstract:
The author focuses on reduced vaccination rates by affluent Americans. He mentions former TV star Jenny McCarthy's bestselling books where she claims vaccines for measles-mumps-rubella may have given her son autism and comments on how a number of his own friends likewise were concerned about vaccinations. He talks about how ten children died of pertussis, or whooping cough in 2009 due to a failure to vaccinate children, and how measles outbreaks have cost tens of millions of dollars to contain.
