On April 30, 2020, when most governments had imposed severe restrictions of personal liberty and commerce, Bill Gates announced on his blog that the world would only be able to go back to normal “when almost every person on the planet has been vaccinated against coronavirus.” Though a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine had not yet been developed, this theoretical technology was, according to Mr. Gates, humanity’s only hope. Getting a needle in every arm would, he explained, “require a global cooperative effort like the world has never seen.”

During the year that followed Mr. Gates’s declaration, the world’s governments acted in lockstep to inject all of humanity with a new generation of experimental mRNA gene therapy shots. Even after evidence emerged that these so-called “vaccines” did not prevent infection, governments continued to insist that everyone receive them. The injection was portrayed as the Savior and Liberator of humanity.

Astute observers perceived that the vaccine — and the global movement to get all of humanity to receive it — resembled a proselytizing religion. The gospel of this new religion was that the new shot offered salvation. Those who rejected it were doomed to ostracism, disease, and death.

In their new book, “Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology, and Reality,” John Leake and Dr. Peter McCullough tell the history of humanity’s extraordinary veneration of vaccines, starting with an 18th century smallpox inoculation procedure called variolation. “Vaccines” is the story of man’s ambition to overcome the suffering and death that nature had always inflicted on him. The development of this technology is a monument of human ingenuity — but also of folly, hubris, and greed. Today, the most celebrated vaccine developers are revered for their achievements. Rarely if ever are their significant failures mentioned in most of the literature on vaccines.

Why This Book Is Unlike Any Other

Vaccine propagandists often proclaim that they “follow the science,” but most vaccine development has been a matter of guesses, gambles, and wild experimentation. Its key figures have been biased by religious faith, wishful thinking, ideology, and a desire for recognition and money.

Though credit is due to some vaccines for reducing infectious disease morbidity and mortality, their contribution to public health in developed nations has been grossly exaggerated by propagandists. Dramatic improvements in nutrition, sanitation, and housing were the primary drivers of the reduction of infectious disease morbidity and mortality.



The authors do not dismiss the concept of vaccination but seek to promote a more informed and less dogmatic discussion about its risks and benefits. Critical evaluation can only make the technology safer and more effective.

What Readers Are Saying

“Dr. Peter McCullough and John Leake have done the near-impossible: cutting through the noise and contemporary dramas around the issues of vaccines, they have produced a page-turning history and a gripping analysis of vaccines as myth and social ideology. This astute combination of intellectual and medical history, cultural analysis, and hard-hitting medical and scientific exposition could not have been accomplished by any other team. ‘Vaccines’ will change the way you think about medical history, and how the collective mind, shaped by powerful interests, may propagate illusions out of thin air. This is an essential book for navigating our frenzied times with knowledge and insight, and it is one that will outlast us — a beautifully written classic of medical history and the history of ideas.”

—Naomi Wolf, PhD, New York Times best-selling author

“The appeal of vaccines that can prevent disease and death is obvious. Unfortunately, blind faith in vaccines has replaced critical thinking and robust cost-benefit analysis. Dr. Peter McCullough and John Leake provide both as they recount the history of vaccination in their must-read book.”

—Senator Ron Johnson

“John Leake and Peter McCullough, MD, separate fact from fiction in their telling of the 120-year history of the modern vaccine era. The most recent myth they expose is that new technologies can change the rules of biology — a false proposition that culminated with untested mRNA ‘vaccines,’ whose champions aspired to inject everyone with their new product. ‘Vaccines’ challenges this con that threatens the health of humanity.”

—Robert Clancy, PhD, emeritus professor of immunology, University of Newcastle
