Vaccine Epidemic: How Corporate Greed, Biased Science, and Coercive Government Threaten Our Human Rights, Our Health, and Our Children Paperback – Illustrated, September 1, 2012

The inability for individuals in our country to have a rational conversation about vaccines without it turning into an ugly spitting match never ceases to amaze me.Thank you for this book!! It is extremely well written, documented and thought out.It baffles me a bit that enormous legal settlements tying vaccines to vaccine injury(over $3 billion dollars paid out to those under the Vaccine injury compensation program). Countless researchers, scientists and Medical Doctors from prestigious universities (MIT, Harvard, Purdue, etc.) and around the world publicly stating there is a problem with vaccines, safety studies, vaccine ingredients, the current vaccine schedule, etc. The Gardasil vaccine is under fire in just about every country it's administered, Merck is currently being sued by two former virologists who claim fraud on the Mumps vaccine and efficacy rate, 2 months ago a #CDCwhistleblower Dr. William Thompson has publicly stated that "he and the CDC" has committed fraud in a major study regarding vaccines and Autism, doesn't raise any eyebrows in the eyes of individuals or the main stream media?!Vaccine Epidemic brings to light just how many questions still need to be addressed in the world of "safety and efficacy" in vaccines. Until fairly recently, it seems as if it has fallen on deaf ears, Broader safety studies should be encouraged; it should be encouraged that politicians either listen to the voices calling for additional, independent safety studies or be voted out of office; the whole “pay to play” system may be the downfall of our society unless we can change it immediately. Our society’s inability to have a level-headed conversation about vaccines, GMO’s, toxic chemicals is silly. The fact that mainstream media completely ignores the "PRO "informed choice" side of this story completely is glaringly obvious to anyone who attempts to view research from both sides. Name calling and labeling/branding people as “quacks” or “conspiracy theorists” for questioning the status quo in an effort to negate the grounded research which contradicts MSM’s financial interests shouldn't be frowned upon, it should be cheered.While those who push the “get ‘em all” vaccine party line immediately race to the autism fight, stating this has been disproven (though the #CDCwhistleblower and many other reputable researchers and scientists around the world beg to differ). The concerned researchers, activists, and parents who are labeled “anti-vax” are in reality, PRO “informed choice.” They are calling for MORE science and they are asking policymakers to pay attention to research that already raises questions about links between food and vaccines and environmental toxins and the increased rate of childhood allergies, asthma, cancer, autoimmune disease, diabetes, etc… We already have some of the sickest children of all developed countries (WE HAVE THE SECOND HIGHEST INFANT MORTALITY RATE IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD) with one of the highest, if not the largest vaccine schedule for children. Does no one see a disconnect here? How does this not raise eyebrows?For those who continue to say, its NOT vaccines or food, then why be opposed to more independent safety studies or labeling the food? If there is nothing to hide, shouldn’t we err on the side of caution when it comes to our children? Aren’t they what’s most important?

First, let me tell you who I am: I am mostly a conformist. I love to have a set of clear rules to follow. I want to please authority figures, especially doctors. I am not someone who shows up late or without proper paperwork. I always drive the speed limit. With that said, the choice to not vaccinate my son came from a primal place inside of me, a place completely at odds with my rule-following self. I made the decision, but I never felt comfortable about it. When family members or friends or doctors would question (or scold) me, I defended myself, but without the confidence I would've felt had I had "The Law" or "Doctor's Orders" backing me.I read a number of books that question vaccines, and the books gave me some comfort, but they often had conspiracy theory undertones. Or I would find myself wondering if the single author was a pariah or a hack. Moreover, the single author of most books did not give me the strength in numbers feeling I craved. I still felt like I was making a fringe decision. VACCINE EPIDEMIC is the book I've needed all along. The book is a collection of essays written by people who will blow you away with their credentials. In fact, pages 343-350 of this book list bios of all the contributors, and it became clear to me: the editors of this book made it a point to find the most impressive authors around. You will be surprised at who backs the vaccine-choice argument. Lawyers. Retired military officers. Biochemistry professors. You name it.In addition to amazing contributors, copies of letters and government documents, this book includes photographs of before and after pictures of the vaccine-injured, and large appendixes and an even larger bibliography. For example, there is a copy of a letter written by Dr. Moore, Moseley Professor of Surgery, emeritus, at Harvard Medical School. He was hailed as one of the greatest surgeons of the twentieth century. HE LED THE TEAM THAT PERFORMED THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL HUMAN ORGAN TRANSPLANT IN 1954. In his letter he states: "The only solution that I know for this is the absolute avoidance of neonatal immunization".This book examines vaccinations from many perspectives: biochemistry, human rights, ethics, health, diet, law, victim testimonies, emotions, statistical studies, conflict of interest, etc. I am now quite confident in my decision not to vaccinate. I feel reputable authority figures from every walk of life have weighed in on this and have done so with a potency I was not expecting. It is nice to have all their arguments collected in one book.My only fear is that this book is TOO convincing. I worry about what the government will do if too many of us refuse vaccinations.
