Acknowledgments

There are many people to which I am indebted, many of whom will likely have been forgotten in this section. As with any major work, I was influenced by everything I encountered since the day I was inspired to write on vaccination after seeing yet another news report on MMR and autism. Although many of these small insights have been forgotten over time, I would like to think that there is a part of all of them, and a part of everyone, in this work.

I would first like to thank all of those who were willing to share their stories with me, be they on the Internet or in person. Special thanks to Think Twice Global Vaccine Institute and all the others who wished to remain anonymous for allowing me to reprint your stories. Thank you for putting your trust in me to tell your experiences.

I would like to thank all of the people involved in the early stages of this research, especially, Diane Goldstein, Paul Smith, Sally Peterson, Holly Everett, Jim Connor, David Allison, and Rick Cooper. I would also like to thank the Department of Folklore at Memorial University of Newfoundland, the Newfoundland and Labrador Applied Health Centre, and the Department of Pediatrics at Memorial University of Newfoundland.

I would also like to thank my colleagues for passing along information and helping out in any way they could. Jodi McDavid, Ian Brodie, Lynne McNeill, Lynda Daneliuk, Ginny Fugarino, Jennifer Thorburn, and Jon Lee all deserve my thanks. As many who have gone before me have learned, writing is something you cannot do alone. I was fortunate enough to have the Writing Girls: Shana, Sophia, Robin, and Kathryn, and the Femidemics: Anna, Amanda, Marianne, and Marame, and friends, Lisa, Olga, and Teal. I would also like to thank those associated with Routledge, especially Laura Stearns and Stacy Noto, and Michael Watters of Integrated Book Technology, for their patience. Lastly I would like to thank my family, especially my mother, Sharon Kitta, and my husband, Craig Brown.
