Stuck examines how the issues surrounding vaccine hesitancy are, more than anything, about people feeling left out of the conversation.

To do this, Stuck provides a clear-eyed examination of the social vectors that transmit vaccine rumors, their manifestations around the globe, and how these individual threads are all connected
