Vaccine Lines and Line Jumpers: Mapping a New Metaphor from an Interview-Based Study about COVID Vaccination
This article considers how the metaphor of the vaccine line and the subjectivity of the line jumper came to frame COVID vaccination experiences. Drawing on analysis of interviews (n = 24) with self-identified vaccine line jumpers, this article reports on three narratives that arose across interviews: (1) vaccine line jumping is a necessary strategy of health-advocacy, (2) vaccines are personal healthcare tools earned through individual merit, and (3) vaccine refusal is a p roblem of belief rather than access. Findings advance research about the personalization of vaccination and public health while contributing insigh...

The Hysteric and the HSP
AbstractThis paper examines twenty-first-century research on sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) alongside mid-nineteenth-century research on hysteria. Doing so sheds light on how we have long thought of sensorial-emotional experience as progressing along a medical narrative fromcause tocure. Today ’s rhetoric around the highly sensitive person (HSP) begins to diverge from the rhetoric around hysteria through the theorized cause and the dismissal of the need for a cure. When current perspectives remove the emphasis on a cure, the narrative emphasizes a broader need for social-emotional learn ing and cultural revision to...

Disease Information Through Comics: A Graphic Option for Health Education
AbstractThis paper presents a critical interpretive synthesis of research on the efficacy of comics in educating consumers on communicable diseases.

The authors examined selected works’ alignment with the four motivational components of Keller’s ARCS Model (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction) to evaluate research within the context of learner motivatio...

Measles, Media and Memory: Journalism ’s Role in Framing Collective Memory of Disease
This article offers a longitudinal case study of five decades of measles news coverage by theLos Angeles Times and theSan Francisco Chronicle, which represented two of the largest news markets in California when the measles vaccine was released, in 1963, and during the 2015 outbreak. Measles reporting during this period displays patterns pointing to an active role for journalists in shaping public understanding of health and medical matters, especially as they recede from public memory, through the employment of available and circulating political and cultural frames. Moreover, journalistic frames in this period of reporti...
