Immune cognition and vaccine strategy: beyond genomics

Microbes and Infection
R G Wallace, Robert G Wallace

Abstract

I.R. Cohen's work on immune cognition has profound implications for vaccine strategies when simple elicitation of sterilizing immunity fails, given Nisbett's analysis showing that cognition by the central nervous system is culturally determined. We reinterpret West African cultural variation in immune response to malaria, and the US cultural variation in HIV transmission, from this perspective, which does not reify 'race'.
