Seeking to reframe the conversation, she shows that when resistance to vaccination is portrayed as scientific illiteracy, denial of scientific facts, or simply as irrational, we lose opportunities to understand many people's real concerns. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnti\/Vax \u003c\/i\u003ereveals that resistance to vaccination consolidates a number of cultural issues - from critiques of medicalization to concerns about government overreach - and raises questions about public health norms.
