Books: ‘Autism’s false prophets’ by Paul A. Offit

September 22nd, 2008

Reviewed by Rahul K. Parikh, M.D., in Salon.com:

Offit effectively pulls back the curtain on the anti-vaccine movement to reveal a crusade grounded less in fact and more in greed and opportunism, as the book’s title subtly but aptly suggests. For that reason, it is sure to inflame anti-vaccine crusaders. But this isn’t a book written for them. Rather, it speaks to parents and others who are unclear, unsure or concerned about taking their children to see their pediatrician, and it offers them reassurance about vaccines and the doctors who give them.
