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.

Essential reading for all parents

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 May 2014

A very balanced account of the history of each vaccine, the disease today and what actual safety trials have been done in each case. It is deliberately not sensational - the author does run a clinic doing jabs in London, so he is far from being against vaccines. I was nevertheless shocked by some of his discoveries. Don't listen to my conclusions, get as much information as you can to inform your own choices, this is too serious a decision to just follow the herd.

Not sure about it

If we believe everything we read in every book who knows what we would really think. I bought this as my granddaughter had seizures after her vaccines, I thought it was the vaccination, still not convinced either way.

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.

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.
