Summary of The Deadly Rise of Anti-science By Peter J. Hotez - Willie M. Joseph
Preface
The author shares their personal experiences and the sufferings of others who have been targeted by anti-vaccine activists for the past two decades. The book reveals that this activism has evolved into an all-encompassing program embraced by the US political system, acting out strong libertarian or extreme conservative beliefs. Anti-science activism is especially strong in Texas and other southern US states, but its tentacles now reach throughout the nation.
The author argues that anti-science has become a dangerous social force that threatens both national security and global stature as a nation renowned for its research institutions and universities. The book also explains how and why anti-science has started to globalize, extending into Canada, western Europe, and low- and middle-income countries in Africa and elsewhere.
The author cites historical examples of authoritarian regimes attacking both science and scientists, such as the Soviet Union under Stalin and current nations like Hungary and Brazil under Jair Bolsonaro. They are fearful for the future of their country and its scientific institutions, their scientific colleagues, and their personal safety.
To restore American people's trust in science and scientists, the author outlines a plan to restore the American people's trust in science and scientists. The author emphasizes the importance of uncoupling the anti-science from political discourse to save lives.
This book pays tribute to the Americans who lost their lives to anti-science aggression and the millions of Americans who will suffer long-term effects of COVID-19. It warns that more deaths and disabilities will follow when children are denied access to routine immunizations. The vaccine ecosystem and programs devoted to global public health and pandemic preparedness are in trouble, and now is the time to take action to ensure they are protected.
The author thanks Johns Hopkins University Press, Beth Gianfagna, Nathaniel Wolf, Douglas Soriano Osejo, Nathan Harrington, and the administrative assistance of the authors. They also thank the administrative leaders of Texas Children's Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Lara Shekerdemian, Dr. Huda Zoghbi, Professor and Chief of Pediatric Research, and Howard Hughes Investigator and Director of the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children's Hospital.

They also thank the COVID-19 Vaccine and Therapeutics Task Force of the Lancet Commission for COVID-19, which they cochair with Dr. Bottazzi.
In conclusion, the book emphasizes the need to protect the vaccine ecosystem and scientists, as biomedical science is under threat.
