Reddit reviews Vaccinated: One Man's Quest to Defeat the World's Deadliest Diseases

I read a really excellent book about him recently. http://www.amazon.com/Vaccinated-Defeat-Worlds-Deadliest-Diseases/dp/006122796X

I am reading This book about the development of our current vaccines. It contains more nuanced examples than the Tuskegee experiments. The witch hunt against Dr. Leonard Hayflick contains some similarities to the current case, but so does the willful injection of retarded children with Hepatitis.

First of all, public health isn't useless and boring. But you are definitely uninformed, and it's hard to tell whether to blame that on a shitty attitude or a shitty education. Probably both.
What you should do, though, is do some (inspirational) reading in public health. I'd hope that your education would have provided you with this, but I guess not, from what you are saying, so here's a few recommendations, and I hope other people here will chime in with their own:

• Vaccinated
  
• House on Fire
  
• Strategy of Preventative Medicine
