If you think you are doing the right thing by getting your child vaccinated, think again! And truly investigate it. There is enough evidence now to conclude that S.I.D.S., asthma, autism, ADD, ADHD, epilepsy and Epstein Barr are linked to childhood vaccinations.

A vaccine in and of itself is a great thing, however, it is the addition of toxic heavy metals, and other ingredients used to attenuate a microbe that make it deadly. ...

When a child is born, it is born without myelin (a fatty protective coating) attached to the nervous system. When we introduce these toxic substances to a baby's unprotected nervous system we are gambling. Gambling that the child will not react violently to the stressor. Many of these affects are not reported, those that are, are labeled, "underlying brain conditions." Now I have been reading that the CDC is now working on a vaccine that has 95-100 different vaccines in one shot. The issue today Look out, Be careful, Investigate first, then decide.

The arguement here is; either you are considered a freeloader (herd immunity - protected in a population by those vaccinated) by protecting your right to good health, or you are a conformist. The conformists believe in the vaccine and its health benefits, and those that question suppositions are considered the "outcasts" - or the ones who "are not part of the team." The CDC is now using the September 11 attacks to mandate small pox vaccine.

As for the book, I think despite other criticisms that the author is very knowledgable about the issues and presents a good case for not vaccinating. Harris presents parents who have had children who have been damaged by - what he believes -are the vaccinations. Harris suggests that previosly mentioned "non-reported" effects of vaccinations are creating socially handcapped people. Harris Coulter has my respect for service in 2 presidential cabinets as an interpreter, and for investigating this topic and taking a stand. Well written.

Coulter's premise is fascinating. Few authors have addressed the long-term consequences of vaccination. Hopefully, this work will stimulate further research.

Vaccination, Social Violence, and Criminality: The Medical Assault on the American Brain

This is an interesting theory if only the author had focused on proving it. I have the feeling there is a connection between vaccination, social violence and criminality but I wanted evidence.

There is some helpful information here about the damage vaccinations can cause. This book uses anecdotal stories to "prove" the points but very little scientific or statistical evidence . It seemed scattered to me bringing up widely diverse points and then moving on, never really making the case on any. The author didn't even get to the social violence until page 171.

I was looking for information to help me decide whether or not to continue my boys vaccinations. This book was not helpful. I found much better books on that subject.

When I first started on this book I had begun to form some opinions on the subject of childhood vaccinations. Afterward, they were firmly set.

Well written and well referenced, I literally couldn't put this book down. Truly a remarkable book.

You would think that this is all dry and medical reading, but you would be wrong. If you have ever met anyone with a temper or a compulsion you understand after reading this book. I was captivated from the beginning to the end. I found myself evaluating my own signs, signals and symptoms. If Mr. Coulter is partially correct . . . his work could be (and should be) the beginning of a total examination of the theory and contents of all vaccines. Well done. I will be continuing my investigations with this information as a corner stone.

I think the title is misleading. After reading the first 40 pages I'm STIll reading about autism. If you want to know about autism this book gets rather in depth however, I was expecting more on the vaccination aspect.
The book is well written and looks rather well documented. I think it's worth reading but I think the title is misleading.

I am not a supporter of vaccinations, so I approached this book with great interest. I was sorely disappointed. This book is difficult and tedious to read, says almost nothing about vaccinations, and makes ludicrous leaps of illogic.

Instead of discussing vaccinations themselves, Coulter centers this book largely on interviews with parents of neurologically damaged children and some literature review of neurological impairments. He starts by stressing the rising numbers of developmental disabilities in the USA. He describes the symptomology, chapter by chapter, of five major disorders: autism, minimal brain damage, post-encephalitic syndrome, allergies, and the sociopathic personality. In each chapter, he delves into such symptoms as "ego weakness," "alienation," and "egotism," heavily illustrating with case histories obtained from his interviews. He then makes considerable effort to convince the reader that these symptoms are neurological in nature by describing "symptomatic parallels" with post-encephalitic syndrome, such as seizures and doing poorly in neuropsychological testing. Next, he ventures that because individuals with these disorders share so many neurological sequelae in common with those who have had encephalitis, they must have had encephalitis as well. Finally, he reasons that because vaccines often causes encephalitis, "the childhood vaccination program is the only possible cause of a mass epidemic of clinical and sub-clinical encephalitits."

In short, Coulter believes that "developmental disabilities are nearly always generated by encephalitis. And the primary cause of encephalitis in the United States and other industrialized countries is the childhood vaccination program." His hypothesis may be intriguing, but he offers nothing to support it besides conjecture and spurious arguments. At best, there might be some correlations of interest. But to determine a causal link is as silly as stating, "Air makes lifevests float. Wood floats. Therefore, air makes wood float." If you are looking for intelligent arguments against vaccinations, you won't find any here.
