Product Description

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.'

About the Author

Doctor Richard Halvorsen has been a family doctor in London for twenty five years and has spent five years researching and writing this book on vaccines. He lives in London.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Truth About Vaccines, 9 Nov 2009

A. Hollands - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Truth About Vaccines: Making the Right Decision for Your Child (Paperback)

I wanted to know as much as I could about the HPV vaccine as I didn't think it had been tested enough and was extremely concerned that nobody seemed to be tellling the truth. The book answered all my questions and, at last, I found an honest answer. As usual it's all down to money for the drug companies and not really about the health of ouf children.

5.0 out of 5 stars What every parent should know, 17 Mar 2011

Mrs. Deborah J. Nash - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Truth About Vaccines: Making the Right Decision for Your Child (Paperback)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Tinfoil hatting lies and misinformation.
Effectively feeding into tabloid panic and overexaagerating risks about childhood vaccinations.

Essential for the over-anxious, yet guillable and stupid parent.
