When Fear Meets Love: The Achilles Heel of Modern Parenthood

The myth of Achilles serves as our first encounter with immunity-his mother's desperate attempt to render him invulnerable by dipping him in the River Styx, leaving only his heel exposed. Peter Paul Rubens captured this scene with bats flying across the sky and the three-headed hound of the underworld curled at the base, suggesting that conferring immunity is itself a perilous act. This ancient tale reveals a pattern that resonates through millennia: parents will make desperate gambles to protect their children, yet can never fully shield them from fate. Eula Biss's "On Immunity" has become a cultural touchstone since its publication, praised by The New York Times as "a book that everyone should read" and endorsed by celebrities like Emily Blunt who called it "essential reading for our times." The book arrived at a critical moment when vaccine hesitancy was rising globally, offering a nuanced exploration of fear, protection, and the complex web of connections that bind us all.

Motherhood and the Pandemic: When Personal Meets Public

The day before my son was born, I walked along a pier in labor, fearlessly facing Lake Michigan's ice floes. By his birth the next day, I had crossed into a realm of fear I hadn't previously known. That spring of 2009, as the H1N1 influenza pandemic began spreading globally, I found myself obsessively monitoring my newborn's breathing, nursing patterns, and cries. The pandemic became part of new motherhood's landscape-a world where ordinary objects could kill and paranoia felt entirely normal. Lead paint, hexavalent chromium in water, and even stagnant air joined influenza on my growing list of threats. As the pandemic intensified, a central question emerged among mothers: would we inoculate our children? Long before the H1N1 vaccine was available, heated debates raged in playgroups and online forums. Mothers weighed disease risks against vaccine uncertainties, with many displaying technical vocabulary about additives like squalene and thimerosal. I eventually chose vaccination, disturbed by the prevailing distrust of institutions during a time of economic crisis and ongoing wars. Our language around vaccination reveals our deepest fears. With vaccination, where needles break skin and foreign substances enter the body, the metaphors become overwhelmingly fearful, suggesting violation and pollution. Americans call it a "shot," while the British call it a "jab"-either way, it's framed as violence. When vaccination prevents sexually transmitted diseases, it's viewed by some as sexual violation, with politicians warning against "government injections" for "innocent little girls." Throughout history, vaccination has triggered fears of permanent marking-from the "mark of the beast" in the 19th century to modern fears of autism, allergies, and immune dysfunction. Where our ancestors feared organic contamination like "blood of bats" in vaccines, today we fear chemicals-"the frickin' mercury, the aluminum." The vampire became a natural metaphor for vaccinators who wounded infants, reflecting anxieties about blood corruption and class divisions in medicine.

The Hive Mind: Rethinking Individual and Collective Immunity

Sren Kierkegaard's exploration of loving your neighbor connects to the concept of the universal donor-those with O-negative blood who can give to anyone but receive only from their own type. This ethic of bodily obligation shaped my understanding through my father, who proudly donated his O-negative blood and carried an "Organ Donor" life preserver keychain. Vaccination functions as a kind of "banking of immunity" where contributions protect those who cannot be protected by their own immunity. This is herd immunity-where mass vaccination becomes more effective than individual vaccination by preventing disease circulation. We're protected not just by our skin but by what lies beyond it. The boundaries between bodies dissolve as immunity becomes a common trust rather than a private account. The term "herd immunity" unfortunately suggests we are cattle with a "herd mentality," when we might better understand it through the metaphor of a honeybee hive-interdependent creatures whose individual health depends on collective health. Like bees solving complex problems together, human collectives can achieve what individuals cannot, as demonstrated when international research teams identified the SARS virus through collaborative effort in just weeks. When I asked my son's pediatrician about the hepatitis B vaccine scheduled for newborns, he described it as a vaccine "for the inner city" designed to protect babies of "drug addicts and prostitutes"-not something "people like me" needed to worry about. I failed to challenge his racial coding, despite living in what some would consider the "inner city" of Chicago, and felt ashamed in retrospect for accepting his characterization. The belief that public health measures aren't for "people like us" is widely held by many in my class, yet vaccination works by enlisting the majority to protect vulnerable minorities. When relatively wealthy white women vaccinate our children, we participate in protecting poor children whose circumstances prevent full vaccination-a radical inversion of historical vaccination patterns where the poor served the privileged.

The Friendly Invaders: Microbes, Viruses, and Our Evolving Understanding

My preschool-aged son came home one day with a pipe-cleaner "germ" and new knowledge: "Germs are really, really tiny and really, really dirty." Our conversation revealed how limited my own understanding was. The word "germ" has dual meanings-both disease-causing organisms and parts of the body capable of building new tissue-the same word for illness and growth, both rooted in "seed." Modern science shows we need germs; without exposure, a child's immune system becomes dysfunctional. The "hygiene hypothesis" and later the "old friends hypothesis" suggest that diverse microbial exposure is essential for health. Viruses particularly fascinate me-not quite alive, they're parasitic entities that hijack cells to reproduce, more supernatural than industrial. Remarkably, much of our human genome contains ancient viral material, some now essential for our survival, including genes crucial for placenta formation and our adaptive immune system itself. As science writer Carl Zimmer notes of humans and viruses, "There is no us and them." The CDC's flu warnings during my son's first year triggered a proliferation of antibacterial products everywhere. Though likely not acutely toxic to humans, triclosan kills both "good" and "bad" microbes indiscriminately, with unknown ecosystem effects. Unlike triclosan's constant exposure with questionable benefit, vaccines present limited exposure with significant benefits. Yet vaccine fears persist despite expert analyses showing benefits far outweigh risks. Serious side effects remain exceedingly rare-encephalitis occurs in about 1 in 1,000 measles cases but only 1 in 3 million MMR vaccine doses. A comprehensive 2011 Institute of Medicine report found vaccines rarely cause specific conditions like measles inclusion body encephalitis in immunocompromised people, fever-induced seizures, and anaphylactic reactions in people with severe allergies. Despite evidence favoring rejection of the MMR-autism link, a quarter of surveyed parents still believed vaccines cause autism.

The Paradox of Risk: Why We Fear the Wrong Things

We don't fear what statistically poses the greatest danger. As historian Michael Willrich notes, our risk perceptions stubbornly resist expert evidence. We fear sharks while mosquitoes kill far more people. Legal scholar Cass Sunstein observes we make "huge blunders" about risk, often believing accidents cause more deaths than disease and homicide more than suicide, when the opposite is true. Psychologist Paul Slovic's research shows people overestimate dramatic dangers like tornadoes while underestimating common threats. When information contradicts our beliefs, we doubt the information rather than ourselves. This isn't merely ignorance-it reflects our unwillingness to live dictated by danger. We accept certain risks, like sharing beds with our children or having children at all, because the perceived benefits outweigh statistical dangers. Our contradictory approach to risk-simultaneously paranoid yet reckless-leads to regulatory patterns of "paranoia and neglect" where minimal risks receive excessive attention while pressing threats go ignored. Most people assess chemical risks differently than toxicologists do. While experts understand "the dose makes the poison," laypeople tend to categorize substances as either entirely safe or dangerous, regardless of quantity. We apply a "law of contagion" to toxicity, assuming any exposure to harmful chemicals permanently contaminates us, like a virus. We believe we're forever polluted by contact with pollutants, especially man-made ones, which we consider inherently more dangerous than natural chemicals despite evidence to the contrary. This reflects our paradoxical belief that nature is entirely benevolent, even as we feel profoundly alienated from it. Alternative medicine offers not just different treatments but a different language that addresses our anxieties. When feeling polluted, we're offered "cleanses"; when inadequate, "supplements"; when fearing toxins, "detoxification." Most appealing is the word "natural," which implies medicine untroubled by human limitations-pure, safe, benign. But as environmental writer Wendell Berry notes, "the more artificial a human environment becomes, the more the word 'natural' becomes a term of value." Vaccines occupy that liminal space between humans and nature-a domestication of wild things that still depends on the body's natural response.

The Natural and Unnatural: Deconstructing Our Environmental Myths

Infectious disease is one of the primary mechanisms of natural immunity-disease constantly passes through our bodies, usually without making us ill. It's only when disease manifests as illness-blackened fingers from Hib, locked jaws from tetanus, the pertussis cough, or polio's twisted limbs-that we see it as unnatural. Before Columbus arrived in the Americas, European epidemic diseases didn't exist here-no smallpox, hepatitis, measles, influenza, diphtheria, tuberculosis, cholera, typhus, or scarlet fever. The first recorded epidemic came in 1493, and within 200 years, three-quarters of the native population died from these imported diseases. Viewing this as "natural" favors the colonizers' perspective. Our vaccination efforts might be considered a small measure of habitat restoration. Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" warned of chemical "fallout" from pesticides like DDT accumulating in groundwater, fish, birds, and human breast milk. While writing, Carson herself suffered from illnesses including cancer, which she kept secret to maintain scientific credibility. Though she acknowledged DDT's utility for disease prevention and advocated for judicious chemical use, her book's power comes from its horror story framing-depicting modern technology as a monster that turns against humanity. Like Dracula, this monster moves through air as mist and lies dormant in soil, with the narrative depending on emblematic oppositions between good and evil, natural and unnatural, ancient and modern. Struggling to determine triclosan's actual environmental impact, I found myself caught between contradictory scientific claims and unable to get clear answers from researchers. This uncertainty led me to contemplate broader questions about belonging and boundaries-whether I was "press" or "poet," and how these categories mirror the themes in children's books about outsiders. The vaccination debate similarly suffers from troubling dualisms: science versus nature, public versus private, thought versus emotion. Rather than imagining a war where we fight against ourselves, perhaps we should embrace philosopher Donna Haraway's vision of humans as "cyborgs"-beings with permanently partial identities who aren't afraid of their kinship with both animals and machines. All vaccinated people are cyborgs, our bodies programmed to respond to disease through technologically altered viruses, just as I join my body to a breast pump to provide primitive food through modern technology.

From Folk Medicine to Modern Science: Vaccination's Remarkable Journey

Vaccination originated not in modern laboratories but in folk medicine and farming communities. Eighteenth-century English milkmaids who contracted cowpox from infected cows gained immunity to smallpox-a connection that country doctor Edward Jenner formalized by extracting pus from a milkmaid's blister and transferring it to an eight-year-old boy, who developed immunity. This innovation came a century before viruses were identified and long before germ theory was validated. The practice built upon variolation-deliberate infection with mild smallpox to prevent severe disease-which had been practiced in China and India for centuries before reaching the West. Cotton Mather learned of it from his Libyan slave Onesimus and promoted it during a 1721 Boston epidemic, facing fierce opposition including a firebomb thrown through his window. The term "inoculate" itself was borrowed from agriculture, where it meant grafting a bud or scion onto another plant-a metaphor for grafting disease to the body's rootstock. Our understanding of immunity remains remarkably dependent on metaphor. Even at the technical level, immunologists describe cellular activities using human terms like "interpretation" and "communication." In 1984, three immunologists proposed that our cells might use a system of signs and symbols-a language-to communicate, leading to a conference on "immunosemiotics." While semioticians like Umberto Eco questioned whether cells literally interpret information, many scientists seemed less skeptical about these metaphors. Anthropologist Emily Martin found that military metaphors dominate popular understanding of immunity, with publications depicting the body as "the scene of total war between ruthless invaders and determined defenders." Yet alternative medicine practitioners consistently avoided war metaphors, and many people offered different conceptual frameworks-from tides of balance and imbalance to symphonies, solar systems, perpetual motion machines, and maternal vigilance. The term "immune system" itself wasn't used until 1967, when immunologist Niels Jerne united all immunity components into one comprehensive system-a relatively new scientific concept despite our staggering knowledge of its complexity.

The Ghosts of Epidemics Past: Child Mortality Through History

Walking with my toddler son through a cemetery, I was struck by his innocent "hi" greetings to marble statues of children who had died in the 1890s. When I prevented him from touching one statue, I wondered if I feared he might "catch death." My father later reminded me that the absence of infant graves was because babies died in such large numbers in the nineteenth century that they weren't routinely given marked graves. By 1900, one in ten children died before their first birthday-a stark contrast to today, when "children are expected to survive to adulthood." This awareness of historical child mortality haunted me when my son developed croup, a condition that once might have been diphtheria and "fatal in a short time." Though his viral croup was rarely fatal, unlike diphtheria which kills 20% of infected children, the experience left me sleepless for months, listening anxiously through baby monitors and contemplating how vaccines have fundamentally changed our relationship with time and mortality. Voltaire wrote in 1733 about Circassian women who had "from time immemorial" inoculated their six-month-old children against smallpox by making incisions and introducing pustules from infected children-a practice motivated by "maternal love and self-interest." Medical care was primarily women's domain then, though female healers were increasingly threatened by physicians and the Church. Midwives and wise women were often persecuted during European witch hunts from the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries. Even those who healed rather than harmed were considered witches according to the Catholic Church's official witch-hunting guide. While women were executed for their healing abilities, university-trained physicians studied classical texts but learned little about the body, relying on superstition rather than empirical evidence. Female healers, despite their own susceptibility to superstition, used effective plant-based treatments like ergot and belladonna, with figures like Saint Hildegarde of Bingen cataloging hundreds of medicinal plants at a time when physicians were still treating toothaches with written prayers.

From Filth to Toxins: The Evolution of Contamination Fears

Smallpox was considered a disease of filth in the nineteenth century-a disease of the poor. Filth theory held that contagious diseases came from bad air fouled by excrement or rot, threatening the middle class who shuttered windows against slum air. Though eventually replaced by germ theory, filth theory wasn't entirely wrong-sanitation reforms it inspired dramatically reduced cholera, typhus, and plague. Today's mothers worry less about filth and more about toxins-from pesticides to high fructose corn syrup to chemicals in household products. I became immersed in this intuitive toxicology after my son's birth, initially cherishing the illusion of breast milk as a closed, pure system. But breast milk itself contains environmental pollutants-paint thinners, flame retardants, pesticides. Our fear of toxicity resembles old anxieties about filth, both theories allowing control through personal purity. Yet purity obsessions have driven sinister social movements from eugenics to miscegenation laws. The truth is we're all already polluted-continuous with our environment and especially with each other. In those early weeks with my newborn, I sat rocking him through night winds, haunted by bloody nightmares and vampiric visions. After a hemorrhage during childbirth when my uterus inverted, I was rushed to surgery, waking disoriented under heated blankets, lashed with tubes and wires. Alone in recovery, I stopped breathing and passed out. When I came to, a transfusion was ordered-something the nurse described as magic that could bring color back to gray people. As refrigerated blood entered my veins, I felt an ominous cold ache spreading toward my chest. "Remember," the doctor said, "it's not your blood." My fear's true source eluded me until months later on Lake Michigan, when I realized I was afraid of death. I felt undead rather than immortal. Nitroglycerine had been injected into me during surgery, which was performed exclusively with human hands. "You've had a lot of people's hands in you," my midwife had said-a phrase that would haunt me alongside "Remember, it's not your blood." My pregnancy had already primed me to understand that my body's boundaries were more porous than I'd believed. Our modern vampires reflect this vulnerability-they struggle morally with their need for blood, reminding us that we feed off each other, that we need each other to live.

Vaccination as Public Good: The Tension Between Individual and Collective

My father's smallpox vaccination scar marks the success of worldwide smallpox eradication, with the last natural case occurring the year I was born. The virus now exists only in two laboratories in the US and Russia, despite multiple deadlines for its destruction. Even diluted decades-old vaccine proved effective when tested after 9/11, though with side effects "unacceptable by today's standards"-one in a million risk of death, one in a hundred thousand risk of hospitalization. My father's generation included the Polio Pioneers-650,000 children volunteered by parents to test the first polio vaccine after Salk tested it on himself and his sons. Unlike smallpox, polio eradication has proven difficult, as most carriers show no symptoms. Now endemic only in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Nigeria, polio campaigns have faced resistance rooted in political mistrust. In Nigeria, vaccination was temporarily halted amid fears of Western plots against Muslims. In Pakistan, the CIA's use of a fake vaccination campaign to find bin Laden severely damaged trust, leading to Taliban bans on vaccination and murders of health workers. As polio spreads across borders, vaccine refusal becomes a weapon in international warfare. While vaccination can be conscripted into acts of war, it remains instrumental in works of love. The vampire has evolved from ancient blood-sucker to modern capitalist symbol, exemplified by Mitt Romney being labeled a "vampire capitalist" during his 2012 campaign. This metaphor resonated in post-housing crisis America, where predatory loans had become "toxic assets." This fear of capitalism corrupting everything led to accusations that the WHO fabricated the 2009 H1N1 pandemic to sell vaccines. Independent experts found no evidence of commercial influence, noting that precautions seemed excessive only because officials had prepared for a potentially deadlier virus. The report concluded that critics underestimated "the power of the core public-health ethos to prevent disease and save lives." Some vaccine refusal represents resistance to capitalism, yet ironically mirrors what Occupy protests criticized-a privileged 1% sheltering themselves while drawing resources from the 99%. Unlike typical capitalist systems, vaccination shares both burdens and benefits across populations. In our profit-driven society, public health measures require elaborate justifications, like declaring metaphorical "war" on disease. The H1N1 pandemic killed disproportionately more young people, with children's deaths ten times higher than typical flu seasons. Our cynical assumption that researchers would harm children for profit reveals capitalism's deepest damage-not just economic impoverishment, but the belief that everyone is owned and motivated solely by profit.

Beyond Self and Other: Immunity as Shared Garden

The myth of Narcissus serves as both metaphor for immunology's concept of self-recognition and cautionary tale about self-absorption. In immunology, the concept of "self" versus "nonself" is fundamental, with the immune system traditionally viewed as discriminating between the two to eliminate threats. But this binary oversimplifies our reality. In terms of cell count, our bodies contain more "other" than "self"-microbes that aid digestion, synthesize vitamins, and prevent harmful bacterial growth. We depend on them as much as they depend on us. Pregnancy challenged immunologists' understanding of self/nonself boundaries. After abandoning theories like sperm "vaccinating" women against fetal rejection, scientists now recognize that the body doesn't simply attack all foreign entities. Polly Matzinger's "Danger Model" proposes that the immune system responds to danger signals rather than foreignness-"self can be dangerous, and nonself can be harmless." From birth, when we first encounter microbes passing through the birth canal, our bodies are shared spaces. We don't merely tolerate the nonself within us-we depend on it. This mirrors our social reality, where "tolerance" of diversity masks our fundamental interdependence. As Martin Luther King reminded us, we are "caught in an inescapable network of mutuality." Scientists now suggest we may someday fight disease by nurturing beneficial bacteria rather than killing undesirables-tending our body's microbial garden rather than waging war. In this garden metaphor, we look inward and find not self, but other. Like Candide's garden, which we cultivate after abandoning naive optimism, our immunity is a shared space-a garden we tend together. Life itself is a window of vulnerability, and our greatest protection comes not from isolation but from our connections with each other.
