Dr Gordon's opinions are not extreme and he really presents very good information and helps parents make an informed choice. This DVD really helped me make my decisions about whether to vaccinate my son.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful seminar, June 3, 2010

I thought this movie (actually a recorded seminar) was very insightful. A great addition to books on the pros and cons of vaccinating your child. Dr. Gordon shows that medical research and statistics indicate that most vaccinations are not necessary and may be more harmful than good. His method is to weigh the costs and the benefits for each individual child and situation. If you are going to keep your child at home (not in daycare) and breastfeed for as long as possible (2 years is recommended), and not travel out of the country, then chances are you do not need to vaccinate your child. Polio has essentially been eradicated from the U.S., while Hepatitis B is a vaccine for high-risk adults and teenagers such as HIV positives and drug users. Rotavirus is a vaccine against diarrhea - children can die if they become too dehydrated and receive no medical attention...The list goes on. Do your own research and make your own decision. And watch this great film!

This review is from: Vaccinations? (DVD)

First, I have to say that there is one "1 star" review claiming that this video is essentially worthless because Dr. Gordon is not a proponent of vaccinating across the board. If you actually watch the presentation and listen to what he says, you will find that Dr. Gordon is both very intelligent and a good communicator. He is helping the viewer understand the diseases, the risks and how he goes through analyzing these issues for his patients. This is someone with a substantial amount of experience in pediatrics who has been in practice for many many years. Even if you don't end up agreeing with his approach in making the decision to vaccinate an individual one, based on a particular child's risk factors and exposures, you at least walk away with a lot of interesting knowledge about vaccines and the respective diseases. I personally found it fascinating and I am relatively well informed in the area.

Also, to address a comment that he doesn't follow the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendations, I would add that we should keep in mind that the AAP and every other medical organization changes its views on many issues, oftentimes spurred by people who step outside of the box and look at things differently. Dr. Gordon is a pioneer in this regard. Remember just because an official organization thought the world was flat doesn't make it true.
