Hotez’s examination of anti-science movements is essential. He emphasizes how groups who reject science, such as anti-vaxxers, climate change skeptics, and others, can harm public health and pandemic preparedness. He contends that faith in science and evidence-based methods is essential for effective pandemic prevention and response.

The book is well-researched and draws on Hotez's extensive experience in public health and global health security. The writing is accessible and engaging, making it suitable for many readers, including policymakers, public health professionals, students, and general readers interested in the topic.

 

In conclusion, the discussion of global health security must include "Preventing the Next Pandemic." Anyone interested in this topic will find Hotez's thorough summary of the difficulties and prospects in pandemic preparedness to be quite helpful.
