More About the Author
Product Description
Review
Dr Richard Halvorsen has been deeply involved in vaccination issues since 2000. He is one of the few family doctors in Britain to offer the three MMR vaccines separately, and was instrumental in raising awareness of the dangers of mercury. A GP in the NHS for over 25 years, he contributes regularly on health-related subjects to the national and medical media. He also runs the successful BabyJabs clinic in London (www.babyjabs.co.uk).
Product Description
As we lurch from scare to scare about vaccines, we no longer fully trust what we are being told by doctors. In a series of investigations over seven years into all the new and commonly-prescribed vaccines (including HPV), autism, immune diseases and allergies, Dr Richard Halvorsen spoke to health officials, researchers, fellow doctors and parents. He discovered that vaccines are being given to children without knowing enough about them. Parents are regularly being misguided about vaccine effectiveness and their safety. Doctors are not being provided with the right information. They even live in fear of being seen to challenge perceived wisdom. Medical researchers often find that impartial vaccine research is impossible - those who dare speak-out, risk being discredited. By presenting all the original medical research in an easy, readable form, Dr Halvorsen allows parents to distinguish fact from fiction and make an informed decision about the right choice for their child. This new edition was expanded with two new chapters on autism and new medical and pharmaceutical research, and contains an alternative vaccination schedule for both NHS and private patients.

I wish this book had been around when my children were due to have their infant vaccines. Then I would have been able to make informed choices regarding the vaccine schedule. I am the parent of a vaccine damaged child, now nearly 18 years old. I have never told anyone not to vaccinate because I believe it should be left to personal choice but I do tell people to get informed. There are always 2 sides to every debate! This book is full of information on the history of each vaccine and why they were included in the current vaccine schedule.
This book shows that it is possible to protect your child without following the vaccine schedule as delivered by the NHS today.

This is a non biased well written informative book that every parent should read before vaccinating your little bundle of joy! It gives an alternative schedule of vaccinations to avoid the aluminium overload of the current schedule that the NHS offer. See Babyjabs in London for a list of ingredients in all vaccinations and list of how and when you can have them individually. I think that every parent should be aware of the fact that the aluminium in some vaccinations is above the WHO organisations safe limits!

Lack of science
A complete lack of reasoned science, the author selects which papers to reference and which to ignore to sell his own opinion. Read more

Excellent well worth reading
I think this book is fantastic and should be read first by everyone before considering vaccination. However I would say that I prefer the 2007 edition of the book. Read more
