About the speaker:
Trevor Pinch is Professor in Science and Technology Studies at Cornell University, US. He has published widely on the sociology of technology and how users engage with technology, and, more recently, sound studies. With Harry Collins he co-authored the book Dr Golem: How to Think about Medicine (2006). In the book, they spend a chapter elaborating upon vaccination politics surrounding the issue of whether the MMR vaccine leads to autism:
"This chapter is used to address three central themes in Dr Golem: the role of uncertainty in science and medicine, patient expertise and how far it can be extended, and medicine as succor versus medicine as science. Vaccination is a particularly emotive and salient issue for many parents who worry about what vaccinations to give their young children and whether such vaccines cause damage through side effects. But how far should public health policy go in paying attention to such concerns?"About Fagsnack:
