The whole immunization issue is so one sided. This book finally gives the other perspective, in an easy to read format. From an educator, and parent's standpoint the book is convincing that immunizing your child is not the only way. No one can force you to immunize your child if you have a belief it's not right. Read this book and finally become educated, confident and informed!

When I was pregnant with my first baby I knew that I didn't want to immunize any of my children. Up until I read this book I had really no "proof" that my confictions were correct. Thanks to this book, I began a serious investigation into immunizations. I now have tangible info to share with pro-vaccine parents. It only takes one light in a dark world to bring truth!

This book provides very useful information for anyone trying to decide whether to vaccinate their children or not. It tells about how each vaccine is made and gives background information on different diseases. Also talks about the benefits of breastfeeding as far as vaccinations go. This was very helpful to me!

Jamie Murphy has done an excellent job covering the essence of the vaccine debate, from how vaccines are made and their noxious ingredients to the history of this barbaric procedure and why it continues to this day when blood letting and other deadly medical procedures of the past have been discontinued. One of the more valuable aspects of the book is his coverage of the effect of the measles vaccine on disease incidence and the change from the killed virus vaccine to the live virus vaccine used today in combination with mumps and rubella. It is a valuable peek into history that is not summarized so well elsewhere. Being well-footnoted and indexed makes this important book great for referencing specifics when sharing this information with others.

"James Murphy is an excellent resource / counselor for parents in need of information on infant vaccination. In his book "What Every Parent Should Know About Childhood Immunization' he presents a knowledgable unbiased account of the health dangers of vaccination. A must read!" Issues in D.

I felt that Murphy doesn't even try to be balanced. He uses words like "witches brew" and "cauldron" to conjure negative images. Also, the book is somewhat outdated, even though this last reprint was 2005. The most recent information I saw was 1989, and he gives facts that are outdated, including that there is no chickenpox vaccine. Now, all this is coming from a person who is skeptical about vaccines. I just didn't find the book tasteful, or all that helpful. Much better is "The Baccine Book" by Robert W. Sears. He gives facts, but helps you to come to your own decision regarding each individual vaccine rather than making blanket statements about all vaccines.
