On May 20, 2025, he will be releasing Between a Shot and a Hard Place: Tackling Vaccine Questions with Balance, Data, and Clarity (currently ranked #1 in new releases in vaccines on Amazon). It is the first and only book about vaccines that offers a balanced approach by fostering open dialogue and informed choices for the sake of our children’s health. This is not an “anti-vax” book – it encourages thoughtful discussion free from biases of advocacy or opposition. Vaccines are amongst the most heated topics of debate and discourse and are often subject to censorship. This is why openly discussing vaccines has never been more critical.
