Economic valuations play an increasingly important role in contemporary vaccination governance. Focusing on the United States, this paper presents a genealogy of economization in immunization policy. Borrowing from Foucault, it argues that economization occurs in two distinct modalities: juridical and veridical. In the former case, economization serves the purpose of 'doing justice' to an issue or practice. In the latter case, it asks what must be true about the world for an issue or practice to be justified. Drawing on published, archival and oral history sources, we show how immunizations in the United States first became economized in a juridical modality in the 1960s. We then trace their veridical turn in the 1970s by looking at the traffic of ideas and individuals between the Centers for Disease Control and the Harvard School of Public Health.

A recent philanthropic movement with advocates among high-profile tech entrepreneurs and philosophers, effective altruism (EA) has been widely disparaged for its flawed moral philosophy and conservative political implications. As philanthropic practice, however, it has been seldom studied. In this paper, we argue that claims to technoscientific expertise are central to how EA actors understand, legitimize, and take part in the production of philanthropic value. We analyze their practices of categorization, ranking and measurement as well as underlying technoscientific imaginaries and moral views through comparing three areas of EA intervention: neglected tropical diseases, cultured meat, and AI safety. We show how EA involves various and contested ambitions to direct knowledge production and redraw the boundaries of expert communities, shedding light on the centrality of technoscience in philanthropists' worldmaking ambitions.
