From the professional level to the personal one, almost everyone has an opinion on vaccinations-and often conversations around this issue pit supporters of vaccinations against \"anti-vaxxers.\" In \u003ci\u003eVaccine Rhetorics, \u003c\/i\u003e Heidi Yoston Lawrence turns a critical eye toward such conversations-proposing a new approach that moves us beyond divisive rhetoric and seeks to better understand the material conditions underlying the debate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Starting with a key question-If vaccines work, why are they controversial?-and using an approach she calls \"material exigence,\" Lawrence seeks to understand the material conditions of disease and injury associated with vaccination. Examining four primary motivations-the exigency of \u003ci\u003edisease\u003c\/i\u003e at the heart of physician views, the desire for \u003ci\u003eeradication\u003c\/i\u003e from policymakers, concern over \u003ci\u003einjury\u003c\/i\u003e expressed by parents and patients in online confessionals, and questions about the \u003ci\u003eunknown\u003c\/i\u003e surrounding potential recipients of the flu vaccine, Lawrence demonstrates the complexity of vaccination skepticism and the need for more nuanced public discourse. In bringing together the voices of those who oppose, question, and support vaccines, \u003ci\u003eVaccine Rhetorics\u003c\/i\u003e unearths the material circumstances that lead to differing viewpoints and brings important attention not just to what is said but \u003ci\u003ehow\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ewhy\u003c\/i\u003e it is said-providing a useful framework for studying other controversial issues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeidi Yoston Lawrence is Assistant Professor at George Mason University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 172\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 05, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45430413394022,"sku":"9780814214336","price":194.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/KSBaJq4dQr9780814214336.webp?v=1775739033","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/vaccine-rhetorics-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
