Rating:
Summary: A Gripping Page Turner
Review: This was the best book I have ever read. I could not put it down. The Virus and the Vaccine is written in narrative style filled with causal events, conflicts, and complications making it a gripping page turner and an easy read. I found The Virus and the Vaccine to be well documented. The approach is neither wild nor hysterical but rather it is meticulous as the authors unfold the story of a nation held hostage by the seasonal polio epidemics to the truth being held hostage by scientific dogma, politics, ambition and greed. The Virus and the Vaccine will inform and shock its readers. It is a must read.

Summary: We won't be fooled again!
Review: You will be attracted and repulsed by the brainy people inhabiting this book. Painlessly, the the authors draw the reader into the rarefied world of medical research. Without talking down, they equip readers to fully appreciate the brilliance and boneheadedness that led to one of the greatest medical advances and public health fiascos of our time. The heart of the story is the clash between the science of heroic genius and the search for shared intelligence. This book treats you intelligently. Most of all, it is gripping story and a good read. In the end, you feel emboldened to draw your own conclusions.
