COVID-19, Contagion, and Vaccine Optimism by Kelly McGuire “explores how pro-vaccination cultural products such as Contagion might in fact undermine public health efforts by promoting a false narrative, which simplifies the kind of vaccination campaign necessary for herd immunity to develop. An ethic of sacrifice and selflessness drives the public health messaging of the film but leaves intact certain individualistic tropes and plague narrative scapegoating tendencies” Journal of Medical Humanities, 2021 Mar;42(1):51-62. doi: 10.1007/s10912-021-09677-3. |
