Sommario/riassunto |
|
"In this incredibly important book, Sarah Alisabeth Fox effectively shows how the stories of regular people are to be trusted more than the words of the government and the experts when the latter are lying in a misguided attempt to protect national security."-Doug Brugge, professor of public health and community medicine at Tufts University School of Medicine<DIV></DIV> |
