Vaccine: The Black Box

I am delighted to share with you our new book: "Vaccine: The Black Box" No doubt 2020 was a challenging year for some, and tough for others due to COVID-19 pandemic. The early announcement of the vaccine at the beginning of 2021 gave several communities the hope to terminate this pandemic and made them believe they could shortly go back to normal life. Meanwhile, others were doubtful concerning the efficacy of the vaccine itself and advocated against it. In this book, we are representing the two sides – those who are for and those who are against the idea of vaccination. We do so by uncovering the historical fights and presenting various factors (religious, political, personal and industrial) concerning the vaccines and vaccination and by showing how different the perspectives of various people can be. We believe this book will build a bridge of trust and create an open dialogue for both sides. Whether you are off medical background or not, this book will be a valuable source of information. We did our best to clarify the medical terms and conditions and to explain in simple words the mechanisms that might seem difficult at first. Hopefully, this will make the time spent reading this book both informative and useful. We believe this book will build a bridge of trust and create an open dialogue for the community to know more about vaccine and vaccination. Whether you are off medical background or not, this book will be a valuable source of information.
