Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Dr Vernon Coleman. Even though I knew (as a result of the vaccines pumped into us over the last four years) that your book is so important to me at least and to the world as a whole. And telling the truth about the 'gunk' as you call it, being injected into two-month old babies. One of the author's quotes from this book is "Where's the sense in telling nursing mothers to be aware that what they swallow will end up in their breast milk (and in their developing baby) when the Government promotes its pre-school vaccination programmes with Goebbels-like efficiency?" Dr Vernon Coleman has covered just one thread of the lies, profiteering and corruption of Big Pharma and the governments, politicians, doctors who support them might as well be on their payroll.

I found Dr. Coleman's book interesting and informative. Anyone who has a job like he had and speaks out against the mainstream when it in his best interests not to rock the boat, gets my utmost respect. It is said that he is discredited but that just means he's upset the status quo and they want to silence him and people like him with the guts and moral obligation to speak for truth. There needs to be more like him and there will be in time as more and more of the population wake up and don't accept everything blindly without doing any research.
I am one of the one's who I believe has been a victim of vaccines. As a child I was given the polio vaccine which I have found has links to ME/CFS. I have had to plough my way through a maze with no help or support because for years the medical profession didn't even acknowledge it existed. It was through suffering alone with this illness that I started questioning things and didn't take anything at face value. I explored all sorts of subjects from medical to ancient history and became very learned about a whole lot of things that mainstream science does not want the public to know about. I also developed an acute intuition, a "knowing" that a few others also have but most others haven't yet developed. It is through this "sixth sense" that I know that what Vernon Coleman writes about vaccines is the truth.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 October 2022
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
An excellent informative book for everyone who has doubts about taking vaccines. This was written in 2011 and is quite prophetic in light of the experimental 'Covid' injection that has been rushed out with no safety data available or advise for those who are worried about having it other than to be told it is 'safe and effective'. An interesting phrase that Coleman has mentioned in this book relating to all other so called vaccines that have been rolled out in the past. My daughter is in a quandary about getting her 18 month old vaccinated for MMR in light of her eldest son never being the same since he had his and subsequently diagnosed with Autism at the age of 3. This books confirms my worse suspicions about these jabs and certainly no child of mine would have any of them. A must read for everyone.

I admire this doctor for his bravery to dare criticize the modern medical system and in part the pharmaceutical industry! It is a fact that the public must rely on a very few honest individuals who put their professional lives at risk just by telling the truth! I have put my forty years as a holistic health professional into one small book that complements Dr Coleman’s advice “Be Your Own Doctor of Health and Happiness- You Are a Miracle!” I am hoping it will help anyone to promo their own health with minimal medical support.

Dear Vernon & All who read this,
I recommend this Book to all prospective parents,indeed if I had the power would make it compulsory for anyone to read if just thinking about having children.
My dear Vernon, I will try and contact you via one of your publishing companies as there is a very specific area which is utmost in my mind which I wish you had dedicated a book to which is close to my heart. I have been studying viruses and infectious diseases for at least 3 years and counting and have lost count on the audio books as well as the kindle books in this area too.I cant,at this point say too much but will endeavour to be able to contact you via a publishing house unless you are able to respond to me by some means here. Kind regards Howard. PS my grandad also had a Bentley with suicide doors too with the pop up indicators.

This book will SURPRISE its Readers!

This is a book by Dr. Vernon Coleman, D.Sc, MB, ChB. and despite being a high-level professional scientist, he speaks very freely -very candidly. Regarding the dangers of Vaccines, he does not SO MUCH give the reader a tonne of empirical evidence that VACCINES are deleterious (in their currently manufactured state), as he does submitting his case before his readers, implementing sound Logic Actually, Dr. Coleman does cite a lot of DATA ... but the reader needs to simply do one thing, if he/she wishes to VARIFY the good doctor's varacity: Research his statements OUTSIDE of the mainstream British and American Medical circles, in order to find those who have no vested- interests in the Vaccine industry.

Now, how would I rate this brief TOME? I would give it 99% top marks. So why give it 99% instead of 100%, simply because I can’t afford to pay £250 UK or $400 US for a hardback copy. Nevertheless, Dr. Coleman writes quite well by assuming that his reading audience are quite intelligent and not academic dolts ; people who are able to "connect the proverbial dots" as it were.
His Logic is flawless and his British humour is equally so. I might even say that Dr. Coleman possesses Aqueous Humour, as well as Vitreous Humour, but do SEE your ophthalmologist about that one!

Dr. Coleman cites a lot of things which are obviously on Public Record, but are rarely researched by most physicians. Sadly, when
Physicians in the UK or the States are presented with hard scientific data regarding the dangers of vaccines, it's either, "What you say simply CAN'T be true" . . . OR, it's "YES, I would like to read Peer-reviewed Medical Journals, but I am TOO busy seeing patients."

Now, this book is worth 5 stars, in addition to my aforementioned items, because the author ASKS the hard questions ... the difficult queries which the die-hard Pro-Vaccine medical and pharmaeceutical industries wish to avoid. To make things worse, Coleman honestly shows the incredulous responses by many physicians, when confronted by irrefutable scientific data. I have personally experienced the askance glares which many give to a person who ACTUALLY has second-thoughts concerning the SAFETY and EFFECTIVENESS of current vaccines. I now cite Dr. Coleman:

"And so, for example, the supporters of vaccination deal with opposition not by debate but by denouncing anyone who dares to question."

Even more, this book in KINDLE format is wonderfully REASONABLE in price, as offered by Amazon. Admittedly the hardback copy is quite steep, so get the kindle version, and if you use a lap-top or hand-held or PC, just down-load the FREE kindle READER. Marvelous bargain.

Let me add that I cannot, CANNOT Overstate this: VACCINES are an issue, admittedly, AS controversial as Sex, Religion, and Politics, but as Dr. Coleman shows, the ramifications are simply CATASTROPHIC. Dr. Coleman is TOO good of a scientist who is willing, first of all, to ASK the Real Questions, and then Deal with them with hard Scientific data, rather than circumnavigate around them with simplistic excuses.

I heartily recommend this book for those who want to see real DATA and hear genuine HONESTY. Aren't our lives and the lives of our Children at least WORTH an authentic LOOK at the Questions and the proposed Evidence? This is the heart of Dr Coleman's book.

Dr. Vernon Coleman is the rare individual who has the courage to stand up and tell the truth in the face of unrelenting opposition. He is brave and honest. It would be easier for him to have been part of the silent status quo. He would have been rich, comfortable, and unchallenged, even though he would not have been true to himself if he were giving needless and dangerous vaccines to people of all ages. His conscience would not let him do that, and instead he has written this book in a style that an ordinary person can read, and then decide for him/herself if they want to be vaccinated or to allow their children to be vaccinated. This book is a valuable tool for anyone who wants to make decisions about their own health, and have the mental ammunition ready to be able to resist being bullied into making decisions that are not in their own best interest.

Essential reading
Reviewed in Germany on 4 April 2021
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
The author is a noted doctor, extremely provocative, but who provides us with invaluable advice about the dangers of doctors, medicine and vaccines. He is my favourite doctor and author, though he sometimes can be quite prejudicial as regards women and Scots.

The subject of vaccines is highly topical, many fearful people at present rushing to get vaccinated against the Covid-19 virus.

Vernon states that vaccines are all about money. Drug companies make billions, doctors make thousands from them. The big question for them is not “Is it safe?”, “Does it work?”, but “Is it profitable?”.

In Britain, politicians, doctors, nurses, etc all insist that vaccines are completely safe and free from side effects. The author tells us that they are all either lying or ill-informed. In April 2011, the US Health Department’s National Vaccine Injury Compensation Programme released its figures for 2010, which showed that allegedly safe childhood vaccines officially killed or injured no less than 2,699 children in 2010 in the US. The parents of these children received 110 million US dollars in damages. The US Government has reportedly also paid compensation to the parents of autistic children. At about the same time the Japanese Government halted part of its own vaccination programme after a number of children died after being vaccinated.

One big problem is that many doctors simply don’t know much about the safety or effectiveness of vaccines; they know only what the Government and the company making the vaccines tell them.

“ --- doctors merrily squirt gallons of potentially toxic junk into babies who are still breast feeding.”

GPs (in Britain, and perhaps other countries too) receive massive payments for giving vaccinations and huge bonus payments for vaccinating large quantities of their patients.

As vaccinations increase so the number of health problems will soar. The link between vaccinations and illness will continue to be strenuously denied as was the link between smoking and lung cancer.

It is erroneously claimed that proof that vaccination works is that there has been a reduction in the incidence of certain diseases against which vaccination is given. But the incidence of those diseases fell - and is continuing to fall - long before vaccination was introduced. The author explains all this in detail.

No long-term research has been done about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.

The author tells us people love vaccines because it promises them an easy way to avoid illness without having to do anything themselves.

Between 20 and 30 per cent of individuals who are vaccinated against a disease do not develop a resistance to the disease. That is, up to half of the healthy people who are vaccinated, and whose health and lives are thus put at risk gain no benefit whatsoever from the vaccination.

Drug companies publish a long list of reasons for not vaccinating patients (that is a plus for them, despite everything), but doctors rarely even look at the list.

“When patients fall ill after being vaccinated, the doctors who don’t believe that vaccines can cause side effects --- dismiss the illness as a coincidence.” The vaccination damage may occur weeks, months, or years after vaccination.

Of all the drugs available, vaccines are the most unreliable and the most dangerous – they are also the most profitable. They can cause brain damage and can kill This is fact.

“Doctors have noticed that there is a relationship between vaccination and protracted, inconsolable, high-pitched screaming occurring shortly afterwards. This seems to be consistent with a link between vaccination and encephalopathy.”

There are higher rates of asthma in fully vaccinated children. Some doctors believe that the epidemic of ADHD (now supposed to be affecting millions of children) could be related to vaccination. These children are made ill by a vaccine and are then treated with dangerous medication, says Vernon.

Here is a list of some of the side effects that may be caused by vaccination: brain damage, paralysis, pain, fever, nausea, dizziness, gastro-intestingal disturbance, headache, malaise, Bell’s Palsy. Guillain-Barré syndrome and seizures.

A study published in the International Journal of Clinical Investigation showed that those who have had the flu jab for five years in a row have a ten-fold increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

In 1998 the Pentagon began to vaccinate all military personnel against anthrax. One female helicopter pilot stopped menstruating after the first shot and by the third of the si shot series had lost a third of her body weight. As casualties (including deaths) increased, soldiers began to refuse the vaccine.

Approximately 85 per cent of soldiers participating in the Gulf War in 1990-1991 were made ill by the anthrax vaccine.

In 1998, the French Government abandoned it mandatory Hepatitis B vaccine programme for schoolchildren after more than 15,000 lawsuits were filed for brain damage and autoimmune reactions, including arthritis, multiple sclerosis and lupus.

Children who die of cot death tend often to die just after receiving their first vaccinations.

When vaccines were postponed until the 24th month of life in Japan, the incidence of cot death more or less disappeared.

The author suspects that cot death if just another awful side effect of vaccination.

Brain damage is a well-known possible side effect of vaccination and brain swelling, intracranial bleeding and other symptoms of shaken baby syndrome can all be produced by vaccines.

Vaccines contain all sorts of problematic substances, including thimerosal which contains mercury – the most toxic substance known to man, though vaccines used in the US have not contained it since 2001.

They may also contain aluminium, which can cause brain damage.

Contaminants found in vaccines include a long list of viruses. Some are made with aborted human foetal tissue. (Why on earth?)

He discusses the links between vaccines and autism. “”The incidence of autism has rocketed as the number of vaccines being given has also rocketed.” The American Government has reportedly accepted that vaccines may cause autism.

Thise who eat meat should be aware that cattle and other animals reared for slaughter are regularly vaccinated. The mat from those animals may thus contain vaccine residues in addition to hormones, antibiotics and other drugs,

Drug companies have an enormous amount of influence over the medical profession. Doctors have been bought.

Vaccines are potentially dangerous, inadequately tested and often ineffective.

This book was published in 2014, before the time of Covid-19, so there is no mention of them.

But in one of Vernon’s last videos (see his website), he has drawn attention to the extra dangers of these vaccines: vaccinated persons will still be able to be infected, and if and when they do, may become very ill - I have already read of fatalities. Also the vaccinated will infect others, in fact they will be ”super spreaders”, if that is the correct term, so the unvaccinated will need to avoid the vaccinated as much as possible, which will be nigh impossible with regard to the massive scale on which vaccination has been occurring around the world. Vernon expresses the fear that the evil powers that be, the likes of Bill Gates, have gone further than intended, and that the whole of humanity could well be extinguished.

Vernon has made a final video entitled, if I recall correctly, “Goodbye and thank you”, since he is being increasingly and excessively reviled for his dissemination of the facts about the Covid-19 vaccines.

Personally, I am much saddened by this, and here wish to thank Vernon for his untiring work in revealing these truths. I and I’m sure many others love him and his wife, Antoinette. It must be remembered that throughout history many great men revealing unwelcome truths have been attacked and maligned.

But read this book, his previous books and his later books, as I’m sure he will continue to write books, though perhaps not make further videos.
