Editorial Reviews

Review

"...this thoroughly documented expose of the dangers of childhood vaccinations will shock our complacent society. If Dr. Coulter is correct--and his evidence if as compelling as it is alarming--parents, children and civilization itself are paying dearly for our uncritical acceptance of inadequately tested medical 'advances.' This book will no doubt start an acrimonious but timely debate about the known benefits and hidden costs of childhood vaccination programs."
-Bernard Rimland, Ph.D., Founder, Autism Society of America; Director, Autism Research Institute

"...a masterpiece; one of the most important works of several decades. It indicts present childhood vaccination programs as a major factor in immunologic and neurologic disorders in today's children. Evidence presented in these pages can no longer be ignored: we are long overdue a reassessment of current childhood immunization programs."
-Harold E. Buttram, M.D.

Product Description

Coulter considers the relationship of vaccination to autism, hyperactivity, allergies, autoimmune diseases, and learning disabilities. He carries his argument into the social realm, suggesting a connection between neurological damage and the present high level of criminality in American society. Vaccination, Social Violence, and Criminality will become a cornerstone in the ongoing debate about childhood vaccinations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very HOT Topic - Buy and Read if you are a parent, March 2, 2002

By	George Washington (San Mateo, CA USA) - See all my reviews

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.

5 Stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, November 26, 2002

By A Customer

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't let the title scare you, August 16, 2000

By	Brian Zaleski, DC, MS (Kentfield, CA USA) - See all my reviews

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.
