Table of ContentsReviewsReachMD Primary Care Today interview with Samantha Gottlieb--ReachMD Primary Care Today This exciting book analyzes the cultural struggles over the vaccine Gardasil as both a source of corporate profit and an icon in the moral imagination of patients, doctors and health activists. Gottlieb expertly blends anthropology, media studies and feminist critique to illuminate how disease threats are defined in our era of corporate medicine and polarized politics. --Paul Brodwin professor of anthropology, UW-Milwaukee; secondary appointment in bioethics, Medical College of WI Not Quite a Cancer Vaccine offers an intimate examination of HPV vaccine narratives, traced through public media, clinics, conferences, and public policy debates.
