A must read for parents and health care providers!
I preface this review with the fact that I am a lifelong Democrat, and an RN that routinely gave vaccines to infants without hesitation. My own children were fully vaccinated until their toddler years when we experienced vaccine injury in our own family and began to do more research and question.
This book is the book parents have been waiting for. It consolidates ALL of the important information on vaccines in one place. And it does it in a way that is not dry or boring. Reading it reminded me of how one of my favorite college professors made political science so interesting that I signed up for her classes for all my electives, even though I wasn’t a political science major. It reads like a Malcom Gladwell book, (if Malcolm Gladwell were brave enough to tackle the subject of vaccines in a meaningful way). As the public becomes more and more informed, healthcare professionals working with “vaccine hesitant” parents ought to read this book to better understand what they are increasingly up against.
Included in the book:
-Info on the safety trials for each vaccine on the childhood schedule.
-Info on adverse events and the flaws in the adverse event reporting systems.
-A crash course on epidemiology that laypeople can understand.
-Info on biased science (and why it is biased).
-The history of various childhood vaccines and their effect on morbidity and mortality.
-Herd immunity- which vaccines can help achieve it and which ones absolutely cannot.
-And for anyone who has ever pleaded with a vaccine skeptic, “What about polio? Do you want polio to come back?” A detailed history of polio and polio-like illnesses and the science around them.
Because of the massive censorship happening around this topic and the career ending multi-billion pharma driven machine behind it, the author has chosen to remain anonymous. Some will surely write off the book entirely for that, but it would only be a coward’s way of keeping one’s head comfortably in the sand. The book comes with a meticulous companion reference guide. Readers are encouraged to read the studies backing up the claims in this book. It’s all there for you to fact check.
This is a time in history that requires courage and critical thinking. Whether you are a parent, a doctor, a nurse, or just an open-minded curious human, it is time to read this book. It is time to learn about Turtles All The Way Down.
