Product Description
"Vaccines: Are They Really Safe and Effective?" (the new, completely updated and revised edition, 2008) is a fully documented guide to immunizations. It includes 30 charts and graphs plus nearly 1,000 citations so that all of the information may be confirmed. This bestselling vaccine handbook (more than 150,000 copies sold) evaluates each vaccine for safety, efficacy, and long-term effects. It contains some of the most comprehensive, up-to-date, uncensored data available -- information that many doctors don't even know. It includes recent studies, numerous case histories detailing vaccine-induced damage to children, and pinpoints for parents exact conditions that may put their own children at high risk. It includes information on vaccine ingredients, natural versus artificial immunity, and provides data documenting correlations between MMR and autism, polio vaccines and cancer, the hepatitis B vaccine and multiple sclerosis, the Hib vaccine and diabetes, and much, much more. In addition, it outlines current vaccine laws and offers parental options to "mandatory" shots. Here are some highlights from this landmark book: Polio vaccines were contaminated with cancer-causing monkey viruses and administered to more that 100 million people. Sixty-two studies from 30 laboratories around the world have linked these tainted vaccines to dramatic increases in brain tumors, bone cancers, lung cancers and leukemia (pp. 20-22). During the 1980s and 1990s, more than half of all measles cases in the United States occurred in people who were adequately vaccinated (p. 29). Surveys in medical journals indicate that up to 87 percent of pediatricians and family practitioners do not believe the hepatitis B vaccine is needed by their newborn patients (p. 51). A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association has linked the chickenpox vaccine to serious adverse events, including neurological disorders, immune system damage, and death (p. 54). A recent study in the British Medical Journal has linked the Haemophilus Influenzae Type B (Hib) vaccine to rising diabetes rates (p. 58). The new HPV ("cervical cancer" vaccine) for young women has been linked to serious and life-threatening disabilities, including Guillain-Barre syndrome (paralysis), seizures, heart disturbances, menstrual irregularities, genital warts and vaginal lesions (pp. 69-71). According to the FDA, thousands of children are damaged or killed by vaccines every year. Families of vaccine-damaged children were recently compensated more than $1 BILLION (p. 102). Parents, educators, and health professionals have very few sources of information permitting them to make informed choices regarding vaccines. But concerned parents are pleading for answers to their many questions. Doctors only tell them one side of the story; there is another side. "Vaccines: Are They Really Safe and Effective?" tells the other side and helps all concerned people to make wise and responsible decisions. Includes information on ALL recommended childhood shots PLUS smallpox, shingles, HPV and flu.

When your doing a research paper on vaccines this is a great book, mainly because it is such a good example of Logical Fallacies. The sad thing is that overprotective parents use books like this as a way of confirming their fears without looking at the facts. The charts that mention the deadliness of diseases have nothing to do with the number of people who are carrying the disease or the number of people who are damaged from having the disease. I could go into detail about it but I have to write a paper on this. Search for Steve Novella and James Randi, they are knowledgeable in this field.

What amazes me after working as a pharmaceutical rep for 6 years, Emergency Room and on an ambulance before then is why is it the P.I.'s never get into the hand of the patient? All of this info just blows my mind away. I was in the Navy for 6 years and gave many many many vaccines to healthy marines and sailors. I also gave vaccines to babies...I regret this sooooo much. I cannot undue what is done but I wonder during those extremely bad years of mercury in the vaccines in the early 90's how many children were damaged after I gave them their shot. A shot I believed in a the time. Not now. One thing working for the government did teach me was how to cover things up. sad. Now I am on a quest to find a peds doc that won't reprimand me or treat me like I am an idiot for not wanting to do the vaccines. Both of my kids have learning disabilities and I blame some of it on shots. so many kids dying after getting them.

Not a good use of Statistics by R. A. Elise

Unfortunately, this book skews evidence in order to make parents so paranoid of vaccinations that they will conclude that all the world's evils potentially came from them (cancer, AIDS, drug abuse, violent crime, ADHD, autism, and more are all linked to vaccines in the book). In the first 40 pages alone, I tagged no less than 7 misuses of statistics and data. Mark Twain said, "There are three types of lies - lies, damn lies, and statistics." This book has mastered the latter.
