This week, we start with a Temperature Check that highlights how few schools are requiring students to be vaccinated for coronavirus in the fall. But we use that as a jumping-off point for a broader conversation about the complexities of conversations about vaccines. That conversation starts with Eula Biss's On Immunity: An Innoculation, but it takes us to Greek myth, to eighteenth-century satirical prints, and to Lee Edelman's No Future.
