In late 2019, Dennis Oya's persistent cough was just the beginning of a harrowing tale of neglect and systemic failure in a Washington prison.

Moore have translated this complex material into a book designed for a public audience.

La de quienes rechazan todo tipo de avances científicos y ponen en riesgo al resto de la humanidad, pero también la de aquellas fuentes que deben ofrecer neutralidad y objetividad. Existen vacunas muy beneficiosas, que han salvado millones de vidas y todos deberíamos recibir. La eficacia o conveniencia de otras resulta dudosa. Tanto así que muchos profesionales de la salud no las aplican.
