While attending training at a military base, I started to develop symptoms associated with an incurable medical condition known as spinocerebellar ataxia. Consequently, my life changed in a matter of seconds. I instantly became hopeless, depressed, and angry. I thought my life was over. Several members of my family were also suffering from this condition. For five years, my brain was degenerating. I lost my balance and communication, fine motor, coordination, handwriting, and driving skills.After four years of serving in the United States Army Recruiting Command, I was suspended from my position, and my Company Commander had me assigned to the Warrior Transition Unit, a military hospital for injured and wounded soldiers. On the first day of my assignment to this Unit, I was required to meet with the primary care physician who informed me that my medical condition could be cured by a "higher power." After conducting research, I discovered that this higher power was Jesus. I developed a relationship with Jesus. He healed me. I left the Unit to become a truck driver for the Recruiting Command and received the Truck Driver of the Year award in my first year.Building a relationship with Jesus has been the greatest thing that has happened to me. I am full of joy, peace, and hope. Jesus restored my balance and all the skills and abilities I had lost.

Antivaxxers are crazy. That is the perception we all gain from the media, the internet, celebrities, and beyond, writes Bernice Hausman in Anti/Vax, but we need to open our eyes and ears so that we can all have a better conversation about vaccine skepticism and its implications. Hausman argues that the heated debate about vaccinations and whether to get them or not is most often fueled by accusations and vilifications rather than careful attention to the real concerns of many Americans. She wants to set the record straight about vaccine skepticism and show how the issues and ideas that motivate it—like suspicion of pharmaceutical companies or the belief that some illness is necessary to good health—are commonplace in our society. Through Anti/Vax, Hausman wants to engage public health officials, the media, and each of us in a public dialogue about the relation of individual bodily autonomy to the state's responsibility to safeguard citizens' health. We need to know more about the position of each side in this important stand-off so that public decisions are made through understanding rather than stereotyped perceptions of scientifically illiterate antivaxxers or faceless bureaucrats. Hausman reveals that vaccine skepticism is, in part, a critique of medicalization and a warning about the dangers of modern medicine rather than a glib and gullible reaction to scaremongering and misunderstanding.
