Vaccine hesitancy and refusal have emerged as significant concerns that transcend societal boundaries. The mainstream discourse surrounding vaccines' necessity and the potential side effects has gained widespread attention, intertwining with geopolitical tensions, political campaigns, celebrity endorsements, and natural lifestyles. Today, anti-vaccine sentiments are reaching unprecedented levels, finding resonance among audiences that were previously skeptical. In her book "Stuck," author Emily O'Brien delves into the underlying reasons behind vaccine hesitancy, emphasizing that it is primarily driven by a sense of exclusion from the conversation. A crucial need exists for a new and inclusive dialogue that addresses the diverse forms of vaccine hesitancy and the social factors that perpetuate them. To achieve this, "Stuck" offers a comprehensive examination of the social vectors that spread vaccine rumors, their global manifestations, and the interconnectedness of these individual threads. By shedding light on these dynamics, the book aims to foster a deeper understanding of vaccine hesitancy and provide insights into effective strategies for promoting vaccine acceptance and ensuring public health.
