Mitten unter uns riskieren Eltern die Gesundheit und das Leben ihrer Kinder – in dem Glauben, sie zu schützen. Doch warum ruft das Impfen solche Angst hervor? Eula Biss geht dem Phänomen der Impfparanoia auf den Grund. Indem sich die junge Mutter in die Position der Impfgegner einfühlt, lässt sie uns verstehen, wie deren Irrglaube an eine umfassende natürliche Immunität des Körpers so stark werden konnte. Dabei tastet sich Eula Biss vorsichtig voran. Sie verwebt Exkurse in die Medizin- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte sowie autobiographische Bekenntnisse auf elegante Weise zu einem Buch, das die hitzige Impfdebatte in Deutschland abkühlen und auf ein neues Niveau heben wird.
