This film will be hated for its willingness to ask the hard questions
My oldest son was vaccinated through his first few rounds of recommended doses. We lived in Malaysia at the time, and we were certainly on-board to vaccinate as recommended. Then an Indian doctor cautioned us not to do some of the upcoming vaccination options. Conversations with her and beginning to research led us to postpone and then forgo vaccinations for our son moving forward and likewise for the rest of our children after moving back to the USA. This documentary focuses on the MMR and its link to autism, and that is just one story. Each vaccine is its own thing. However, this story does a good deal to open the conversation about who is pushing the ever-increasing regimen and why. It also puts the facts forward with regard to autism: e.g., why are the autism numbers increasing exponentially? That is a plain fact. If you think about it, the idea that "we don't know what causes autism, but we know it isn't the MMR" is nonsense. If we don't know what causes the sudden increase in autism (prior to 1930 the rates of autism were essentially zero) then we actually don't know that it isn't MMR. We don't know! Has the CDC ever conducted comparative studies between vaccinated and non-vaccinated children? No. Why not? You do the math. There's more. This is well worth the watch.
