This book is an excellent, thorough study of the impact of immunizations on society. Packed with an abundance of research and notations on every fact she gives, this book is not about emotion or opinion. It is a factual account of the "bill of goods" Americans are being sold about the efficacy of vaccines. Other countries have caught on, why do we Americans CHOOSE to remain in the dark? Educate yourself with this powerful book. You will not come away neutral on this issue. Thunderous applause to Walene James for her articulate, thorough work!

This book is not just about vaccinations but about moving beyond the allopathic medical paradigm of disease-scare to embracing dis-ease as a teacher that can assist us in regaining balance and harmony if we will listen and apply natural healing therapies. This is truly a book about raising our consciousness so that we can see that the true enemy is one we have created through our lifestyle and daily choices. If we are to make it into the 21st century, we must work together to educate others and protect such a fundamental freedom as to what we want or do not want to consume or inject into our bodies. Walene James encourages people to start educational, support groups. We have done so and have a very successful group. For more information, contact: Vaccination Liberation, P.O.

This book is well written and VERY informative. It really is a must have! I would love to personally thank Walene James for writting such an outstanding book. The truth needs to get out there and the only way that is going to happen is by each and every one of us doing research about our own health. Sadly our medical field is run by greed and profit. There are so many ways for us to stay healthy that are doctors will not tell us about. They dont make money on HEALTHY patients.

Ms. James provides the facts, you make the choice. The most comprehensive book available for parents wanting to know more. Empowers you to make an informed decision regarding vaccinating your children - or yourself, for that matter! Thank you, Walene James - excellent book!

So incredibly informative - very well researched and backed up. Definately a must-read for any pro-active parent.

Goes into the details of the vaccine issue in depth and clarity. Places the issue within the larger context of society. And finally adds her personal story.

After a long time studying the issue this is the best work I have found.

My husband and I read this book and were initially impressed by the extensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter. This book is painstakingly footnoted to make it easy to track down the primary resources Walene James uses in organizing her argument. However, many of James' arguments are not well supported by her own research. She presents graphs showing that the death rates from many diseases were had already declined by up to 90% before the vaccine for that disease was introduced. Since the vaccine's job is designed to prevent the disease, these statistics are irrelevant. Survival of these diseases has more to do with treatment once the disease has been caught. She also quotes other resources that we didn't think were very credible. All in all, this book raises important points. However, I wouldn't recommend that anyone base their decisions about immunization on it. My husband and I are still searching out better matierial upon which to base our opinion. This book gave us some ideas of where to look and perhaps a few more questions to ask.

I read this book cover to cover with an unbiased outlook. Most of the information is factitious at best. Find yourself a more accurate review of the subject written by a science-oriented authority, rather than an angry mother. Definately NOT recommended.

I picked up this book and was appalled. There is little indication that Ms. James is an anti-vax advocate, and someone who has no knowledge of immunology. Health is a very good thing. I believe in a healthy diet, exercise, and immunizations to protect me from the people out there who wish to make me very ill.

Immunization immunity is just as good as "disease based" immunity...and for those of us who are dependent on herd immunity to stay healthy it is a necessary thing. Although I have had the measles, AND the MMR, I am still measles non-immune, and I'd rather not get it again, thank you. And I experienced pertussis a few years ago, since, like most adults, I only got the tetanus-diptheria shot for many years, and my pertussis immunity had waned. It was a very nasty illness, fortunately, no one else in my family caught it since the children had recent TDaP's and my husband had received one through work the previous year. Coughing until you are breathless and vomiting, breaking ribs with your cough...I made sure my next shot was a TDaP.

I have never been afraid to vaccinate my children, even with several generations of autism in the family. Vaccines do not cause problems in most people, nor do they cause autism. Please protect yourself, your children, and your community and be vaccinated. (Especially with the outbreaks currently of measles and pertussis).
