Great, in-depth information about vaccines. Need-to-know information for anyone who wants to be able to make truly informed decisions about what vaccines to submit themselves and/or their children to. Scientific information but presented in clear, layman's terms to you don't need a PhD to understand it. For those who want to investigate further, or verify the information given, there's a huge bibliography and resource list in the book.
The information in this book is well documented. This subject interests me, because I had children with adverse reactions to vaccines. many of themI recognized and attempted to report at the time. The physicians refused to take my reports. I read other books in the 1980s that helped me understand the side-effects of vaccines from anecdotal standpoints. Now I'm reading the research behind the stories. It's worse than anyone ever thought.
I couldn't get the version of this book required for my class from the library. However, I'm finding the information in this version is useful for the class.
EVERY PARENT NEEDS TO READ THIS BOOK!!!! If you think it is safe for you or your family to get vaccines, read this book and do the research for yourself. You will get pretty much all you need to know in the first 20-25 pages. It is astounding "to learn that powerful individuals within the organized medical profession are aware of vaccine safety and protection deficiencies, but seem to have an implicit agreement to obscure fact, alter truth, and deceive the public."
I did not read this book; I merely skimmed it. It's written by a lay-person & the bulk is anecdotes of vaccine-injured children. We all know that vaccines can cause complications- I don't need to read a bunch of stories- I'm interested in well-laid out facts & figures.
Neil Miller gives you the cold hard facts about vaccines. Revised, easy to read with charts. A must read for every parent wanting to make an informed decision about whether or not they want to vaccinate.
