Críticas
"Well written and easily understood, yet balanced with enough technical detail for medical professionals to read informatively cover to cover." This book not only brings to life the main actors involved, it also demonstrates how this incident created legal precedents that forever changed product liability laws. Roland Sutter, World Health Organization --Roland Sutter" "One of the best overviews of vaccines from the vantage of events associated with vaccine safety during an earlier era that I have ever read." Maurice Hilleman, Merck Institute for Vaccinology --Maurice Hilleman" Dr. Offit brings us into the entangled world of medicine and law. Readers will have a better understanding of the impact that legal suits have on the vaccine industry, investment, and decisions not to pursue lifesaving vaccines because of liability issues. Dean Mason, President and CEO, Sabine Vaccine Institute --Dean Mason" "What is causing the shortage of desperately needed vaccines to combat pneumonia, tetanus, chicken pox, measles, mumps and influenza? Why is an effective vaccine for Lyme disease no longer on the market? And what are the consequences for our children? Dr. Paul Offit confronts these vital questions in The Cutter Incident, a brilliant piece of writing about a medical tragedy, exactly fifty years ago, that revolutionized the development and testing of vaccines in the United States, while forever changing the legal culture that had once kept punitive lawsuits under control. Offit s remarkable book is certain to become a fixture in the increasingly angry battle over the impact of medical liability on the effective treatment of disease." David M. Oshinsky, author of Polio: An American Story --David M. Oshinsky" "This book not only brings to life the main actors involved, it also demonstrates how this incident created legal precedents that forever changed product liability laws."--Roland Sutter, World Health Organization --Roland Sutter "Dr. Offit brings us into the entangled world of medicine and law. Readers will have a better understanding of the impact that legal suits have on the vaccine industry, investment, and decisions not to pursue lifesaving vaccines because of liability issues."--Dean Mason, President and CEO, Sabine Vaccine Institute --Dean Mason
Reseña del editor
This remarkable book recounts for the first time a devastating episode in 1955 at Cutter Laboratories in Berkeley, California, that has led many pharmaceutical companies to abandon vaccine manufacture. Drawing on interviews with public health officials, pharmaceutical company executives, attorneys, Cutter employees and victims of the vaccine, as well as on previously unavailable archives, Dr. Paul Offit offers a full account of the Cutter disaster. He describes America's relief when the polio vaccine was developed by Jonas Salk in 1955, the production of the vaccine at industrial facilities such as the one operated by Cutter, and the tragedy that occurred when 200,000 people were inadvertently injected with live virulent polio virus: 70,000 became ill, 200 were permanently paralysed and 10 died. Dr. Offit also explores how, as a consequence of the tragedy, one jury's verdict set in motion events that eventually suppressed the production of vaccines already licensed and deterred the development of new vaccines that hold the promise of preventing other fatal diseases.
