Faith and Vaccine Skepticism
This chapter explores the historical roots of the evangelical anti-vaccine movement, revealing how long-standing beliefs within Christian communities have fostered skepticism towards vaccines. It highlights the alliance between anti-vaccine advocates and various social groups, alongside an analysis of how religious interpretations fuel distrust in scientific medicine, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
