Summary: REAL information with REAL facts
Review: This is a great book and a MUST for every parent. This shows the truth that doctors don't want you to know, because then they wouldn't get those lovely bonuses from the makers of the vaccines. Of course this ISN'T a conspiracy theory book but actually scientific medical facts and references. This book is more double sided then any other vaccine book out there viewing information from both sides with points and counter-points on all that you've heard about. This book informs and educates, if you are a parent this is the book for you because it helps decipher all the information so you can weigh the pro's and con's. If you read any other book your still uneducated on the subject. Top of the line!

Summary: I've read 6 books on the subject. This was the best.
Review: This is the only book I've found that was not written by a doctor. Amazingly, it seems to me to be the best information I've found.Pro-vaccine books don't seem to make a very strong case for getting the shots. They tend to cling to the declining disease rates as the primary evidence of effectiveness. Neil Miller's two books debunk this argument rather well. Pro-vaccine books also focus more on the diseases as they existed during the height of their epidemics, rather than the reality today. They tend to gloss over (or ignore!) adverse side effects, both in frequency and severity. The doctor written books against vaccines take a sort of willy nilly approach to this highly political and emotionally charged subject. One said avoid the MMR, but get the DPT. Another said avoid DPT but get the MMR. In all cases, when they recommended a particular shot they glossed over specifics of safety and effectiveness, and instead focused on the dangers of the underlying diseases. But Neil Miller clearly explains what the dangers of these diseases vs. the dangers of the vaccines for each disease. He also clearly argues against the effectiveness of vaccinations generally, and the surpising lack of science behind vaccines. He also touches on how the corporations that make money from them have manipulated public opinion and the government, and how the statistics have been manipulated to under report adverse effects of vaccines. His books are excellent. I would recommend them to everyone, both for and against shots. Get as many books as you can find would also be my suggestion. Read and think for yourself. FYI, it wasn't very hard for us to find several doctors that would support our decision not to vaccinate. One doctor only gave the shots to kids when parents insisted on them.

Summary: Adds pertinent information to the vaccination debate.
Review: While I don't agree with all the conclusions drawn in this book, the author has dealt honestly with this subject and has added pertinent information to the vaccination debate. In fact, he has uncovered information that is immensely important and that has not been made readily available by the public health establishment to the general public. This thin tome, nevertheless, contains graphs showing the precipitous decline in death rates in such diseases as polio, measles, and pertussis, before immunization programs had been put in place. While the book is a best seller among parents and the public, it should also be studied by those reluctant to question conventional wisdom regarding immunization. Miguel A.
