Might be a bit hard to follow if you're not familiar with events, but well worth it.

Written too much like a long form newspaper/expose. Bit too narrative for me

5.0

Holy shit this book is really good. Deer's prose grips you and pulls you right in with no stops or breaks; sometimes it's downright distressing, sometimes it's hilarious. He speaks from a place of knowledge and I loved reading this very detailed breakdown of the facts and how we got here, to the anti-vaccine crisis of today. Very good book.

What I wanted was Bad Blood, what I got was extremely British journo against the world. It's informative but very opinionated.
