This year’s best of list includes only three titles that were actually published in 2025. Six books were written by doctors, and two provide complementary perspectives on the infamous Andrew Wakefield and the epidemics of vaccine-preventable diseases resulting from falsified research and shameless self-promotion of a thoroughly debunked theory. As always, books are listed alphabetically by title. For more favorite reads, feel free to browse my lists from 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and previous years.
