Book Description

Do Vaccines Cause Autism, Asthma, Diabetes?

Get straight, science-based answers to this and other questions about the safety of vaccines. In this book you will find the facts--no advocating hype or anti-vaccine propaganda.

You will discover how to:
* Balance the risks and benefits of immunizations for your child.
* Recognize red flags that should raise alarms about vaccine- related information you read in the media.
* Determine whether or not a vaccine is the cause of an adverse event or disease.
* Find up-to-date, complete, and scientifically valid information about vaccines so you can make informed decisions about immunizations.

This guide will help you sort through all the misinformation that makes it hard to decide what's best for your child's health.

"A detailed look at all the controversies swirling around vaccines. It should be required reading for parents who have vaccine concerns."
Ari Brown, MD, FAAP, Pediatrician and author of Baby 411

"An extremely clear, well-researched and detailed examination of vaccine safety issues that effectively rebuts anti-vaccine misinformation while acknowledging and explaining the rare adverse events that can result from childhood immunizations. I wish every new parent would read this book. I hope that every professional who talks to parents about vaccination will read it."
Arthur Allen, author, Vaccine: the Controversial Story of Medicine's Greatest Lifesaver (WW Norton, 2007)

"This book is an amazing compendium on the state of scientific knowledge of the vaccine safety issues of concern to parents. WELL DONE!"
Edgar K. Marcuse, MD, MPH Professor of Pediatrics, Children's Hospital and Medical Center, Seattle

5.0 out of 5 stars Read This Book: Here's Why, June 29, 2008
This review is from: Do Vaccines Cause That?! A Guide for Evaluating Vaccine Safety Concerns (Paperback)
"Do Vaccines Cause That?!" provides lucid and cogent explanations of what vaccines are and what they do, and about why so much public misinformation and mistrust has arisen over them. The book is commonsensical in tone and is clearly addressed to parents concerned about doing the best thing for their children. It's written in "reader-friendly" language and it doesn't talk down to parents. The authors acknowledge parental worries and do a great public service by compiling so much information about vaccines into one book. If you don't agree with the authors, it's even more important that you read it, because "Do Vaccines Cause That?!" provides thoughtful answers and explanations about vaccines and what they cause and don't (asthma, multiple sclerosis, encephalopathy, AIDS, and more are addressed), and sets forth its arguments calmly, and compellingly.

This is a great book for parents who have thoughtful questions about vaccine safety that are more complicated than the typical doctors visit will allow.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you're concerned about vaccines, you must read this!, September 21, 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Do Vaccines Cause That?! A Guide for Evaluating Vaccine Safety Concerns (Paperback)
This book does an excellent job of explaining how causation is shown or disproven through medical research. After doing that it takes you through a comprehensive review of what is known about risks of vaccines. It also shows how effective vaccines have been in reducing multiple life threatening illnesses. If are thinking of not vaccinating your kids, this will make you think twice.
