Description:
The Vaccination in Modern America: Misinformation vs. Public Health Advocacy Web Archive is an initiative developed by librarians in the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation. The Archive identifies and captures webpages representing the current state of public discourse and contrasting approaches to authority on the topic in the United States, with a focus on sites that are both pro- and anti-vaccination. The purpose of this collection is to capture potentially ephemeral information about vaccination that could be used by health service researchers, information scientists, sociologists, and others to understand the motivations, practices, and outcomes of health information and misinformation. Anti-vaccination sites were those that opposed the established national guidelines for vaccination and vaccination schedules, as well as those that focus on chemical vaccine adjuvants or organic natural living as a replacement for vaccination. Prominent natural living advocates and bloggers who have made anti-vaccination arguments, or who have expressed sympathies to vaccine avoidance, have been included to provide additional context around anti-vaccination information campaigns.
