The overwhelming benefits of childhood vaccinations appear indisputable. They ve saved millions of lives and are revered as one of the greatest public health interventions of all time perhaps even the greatest success story of modern medicine. BUT IS IT TRUE? GP, and father of two, Richard Halversen has spent five years researching and writing this alarming study of vaccines: do they work, do we know enough about them, are they safe, what are the risks, are there ways of making vaccines safer? 'I am investigating what we patients and doctors alike are not being told. I am deeply disturbed by what I have found and how information about our health is increasingly held ransom to vested interests rather than freely available ... this book had to be written to inform parents, honestly, and without bias, so that they can form their own decisions.'

I myself suffered an ADR to DPT in 1969; it nearly killed me. It started 5 mins after jab, and sent my temperature up to 202 degrees. I spent many days with my head on one side. I am not immune deficient. I went on to easily recuperate from every childhood illness including measles and glandular fever, and now I am a very strong healthy 43 yr old. I believe my adverse reaction was covered up. Rubella was written on my medical record, yet on the bottom, it said diagnosis doubtful. My home doctor said "rubella my foot" yet didn't write her feelings down. My mum was verbally told not to vaccinate anyone else in our family. The reason I tell you this, is that I know this system still is in place today. My ADR should have been yellow carded. The fear in 1969 was the same as it is now - loss of trust in the UK vaccination system. Now pharmaceutical companies advertise in the British media, and they rely on the huge revenue created. A scare like the Wakefield Lancet report would not happen again, as scientists and doctors lack funding from independent sources who don't have a vested interest in the subject to study. Speaking out - well we all saw what happened to Wakefield. Huge court cases such as the Valentino Bocca MMR case in Italy are buried by the press. That's why when a doctor comes forward like Doctor Halvorson, its a brave decision. There are going to be many powerful people out to destroy his reputation and paint him as a quack. I read this book, but I also read pro vaccination books. You see many people just read the side they want to believe in to strengthen their belief in their mind. All of the comments in this book are true; its just certain information has been left out to strengthen the authors objective. That is your child receiving single vaccinations at the clinic he runs.... Read more ›

My child is now 12 months old and as per the nhs schedule will have had 19 jabs and is due to have 7 more this month. Some for example are 5 in 1 jabs. Had I know more before my child was born and figured out how many vaccinations he would be getting my decision making would be different. As an adult I would consider 19 jabs in a year even if some have been rolled into one vaccine jab as excessive. Make an informed decision about whether to vaccinate or not. Do not trust pharmaco's or the government - remember thalidiomide many parents would have assumed as the health profession was giving this it would be safe and we know what happended there.

Definitely important reading before making decisions on vaccines. I would reccommend it along with readig a variety of resources. Links at back of book suggest Health Protection agency and babyjabs, these are usefull too along with Green Book (DoH) and Vaccineriskawareness website.

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.

For a very brief but core factual look at vaccinations, please refer to "Vaccinations and Natural Immunity" by Trevor Gunn, and within you will see the many ways that those with financial interests in vaccinations, have manipulated and propogated ideas as to their efficacy and effectiveness, i.e. for one instance, by maliciously stating that vaccinations were responsible for the real drop in the incidence of the different respective vaccinated conditions, when in fact the incidence of all the respective conditions, measles, whatever, had already dropped to dramatic lowest incidence due to general major hygiene improvements, lowering of dire poverty, etc.
Vaccinations are a major toxic insult to health generally, but most particularly to the very young, and babies obviously whose immune systems haven't yet fully developed their immune systems to produce a counter to their unscientific assault, and sometimes, and not that infrequently, with catastrophic circumstances. The book also describes, and from clear statistical evidence, that shows that having an increase in antibodies from an injection of vaccine, doesn't guarantee in the slightest an increased immunity, for the statistics show that there is no difference in immunity from those having very high or very low numbers of antibodies in the blood.
I'm afraid, as with the use of pharma drugs, as with vaccinations, the foundation of the core of our health services is in the hands of business profiteering as opposed to real health science.

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!
