The book will also explore the rise and the spread of the anti-vaccination and science skepticism movements and their relationship to American and global public health. The history of American diseases and epidemics will be compared to the COVID-19 crisis, the deadliest pandemic in modern U.S. history, which has provided a clear example of how governments and the other organs of the state can help or hinder the international goal of stamping out disease. --$cpublisher's website. 410 0$aOpinions throughout history. 517 3 $aDiseases and epidemics 606 $aEpidemics$zUnited States$xHistory$vSources 606 $aCommunicable diseases$zUnited States$xHistory$vSources 606 $aCOVID-19 (Disease)$zUnited States$xHistory$vSources 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$vSources 608 $aHistory.$2fast 608 $aSources.$2fast 615 0$aEpidemics$xHistory 615 0$aCommunicable diseases$xHistory 615 0$aCOVID-19 (Disease)$xHistory 676 $a614.40973 700 $aIssitt$b Micah L.$01509254 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795393203321 996 $aDiseases & epidemics$93818989 997 $aUNINA
