Product Description
This book provides parents with a comprehensive, scientifically based guide to the facts, myths, problems and solutions associated with raising a vaccine free child. It helps them protect their children both from the wiles of the vaccine industry and from harmful germs. It explains the difference between childhood diseases and the other infectious diseases, which is the key to understanding immunisation. The book provides an insight into the workings of the vaccine industry, and into the role of the media in perpetuating myths about vaccination and infectious diseases. There is a detailed chapter on "herd immunity" which empowers parents to withstand the accusation that their vaccine free children pose a threat to others. It also helps parents cope with aggression from individuals and with intimidation from the medical authorities. A look at the history of vaccination reveals that it is an unscientific procedure that is based on falsehood, cruelty and supposition. |

Does this book teach these people how to protect MY child from theirs? by Lula McBride (New York City)  1 Stars
September 30, 2009
I see in the description for the book it says the author instructs people on how to protect their unvaccinated child from germs. Well does the book also teach people to protect MY kid from their germy, sickly children? Does it tell them how to go about setting up a homeschooling arrangement so their kids don't spread serious illness throughout their communities? Vaccines saved the world from killers like Polio. Vaccines are not evil. People who make money off spreading lies and paranoia are evil.

Please, PLEASE, do not waste your money on this book by Sarah E. Berdugo 1 Stars
September 05, 2009
This is the first book that caused me to come around to my husband's rigid way of thinking, which is that you should be very skeptical of reading a book written by someone without board-certified credentials in the field of interest. It is also the first book that made me feel so duped for buying it I took time away from raising my kids to write a review. I am an avid reader and it is one of the most poorly written books I have ever read. Even if the author's 20 years of experience have given her wisdom, they have not given her the basic skills to compose an argument or write a book. While the author is knowledgeable, the book is hardly scientific. Citing references for the multiple cases of wronged individuals does not make an argument scientific. The chapter titles have little to do with the information contained therein. Each chapter is yet another opportunity for the author to tell you about how terrible THEY are, how the opposing team made this or that comment at a presentation she made, or the minutiae of child x's bad experience with the government. And I assure you, I am on the author's side-I am against vaccines. Knowing that, I don't need a whole book to tell me why I should stand where I already do. And even if I weren't standing where I am, the author doesn't provide a level set of facts for making a decision, she offers chapter after chapter of emotional opinions and personal experiences. What I had really hoped to find in the book was, 'how bad, really, are the childhood illnesses like measles and mumps and how does one help their child get through them?' While a chapter was dedicated to each of the illnesses, there was less than a page of information on what a parent would actually do to help the child get through them. It was a huge dissappointment. I would recommend Aviva Jill Romm's, "Vaccinations; a Thoughtful Parents Guide" (written by a certified professional midwife and herbalist with a more liberal leaning) and Stephanie Cave's, "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinations" (written by a doctor with a middle of the road approach). If you want to know how to handle the measles or mumps, you'll have to ask your grandmother.

vaccines save lives! by BOSOX93 (Mesa, AZ United States) 1 Stars
September 04, 2009
Too bad there has been so much poor science to distract from the truth... vaccines save lives!!! I have witnessed first hand how vaccines have prevented disease. I have also witnessed many times, unfortunately, the horrorible death of a child that could have been prevented with a simple vaccination. For those who don't vaccinate, for your child's sake, I hope they are the lucky ones not to catch something preventable.

Another anti-vaccine lunacy by Boris Skurkovich (USA) 1 Stars
September 01, 2009
This book is fool of nonsense. One has to see just one child with bacterial meningitis (that is vaccine preventable, by the way) to run to the doctor and vaccinate their children. I would not recommend spending even a penny (or a minute) on this book. The only reason I have given it a one star rating was because there was no option to give it no stars at all.

Powerful and profound! by Marie Martin  5 Stars
July 08, 2009
Raising a Vaccine Free Child should be the goal of all parents, regardless of what you believe about vaccines. After all, a vaccine is a small amount of poison - aimed to trigger a blood battle in our veins. Or so we are told. In this book, you will find a well thought out discussion on the reasons the medical profession and the media hide the suggestion that vaccination is NOT necessary. In fact, you will learn that vaccination can be dangerous. It's a profound and powerful book, and every parent and would-be parent should read it. If you want more on why NOT to get vaccinated
