Paul A. Offit MD, a specialist in pediatric infectious diseases, has written 13 books about science and medicine. His subjects range from the history of the anti-vaccine movement, to the science behind vitamin supplements, to the over-use of medical treatments and, most recently, the Covid-19 pandemic. He has a passion for distilling the complexities of science and medicine into interesting narratives and clear prose. Dr. Offit has served on both the CDC and FDA Vaccine Advisory Committees. He is a co-inventor of a rotavirus vaccine, licensed in 2006, that is estimated to save hundreds of lives every year. Dr. Offit relaxes and recharges by reading fiction, binge-watching great television series, following Philadelphia sports teams, watching movies, listening to podcasts, and walking. He follows politics all too closely and does not consider that relaxing.
