Vaccine Illusion Kindle Edition

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 464 ratings

Due to the growing number of vaccine safety concerns, our society has been polarized into vaccine advocates and vaccine opponents. However, in the debate over vaccine safety, we have lost sight of a bigger problem: how vaccination campaigns wipe out our herd immunity and endanger the very young. Written by an immunologist, Vaccine Illusion explains why vaccines cannot give us lasting immunity to infectious diseases and how they jeopardize our natural immunity and overall health.

NOW . . . The HONEST Truth about VACCINES!
5 out of 5 stars
NOW . . . The HONEST Truth about VACCINES!
Dr. Tetyana Obukhanych is an immunologist. Despite her PhD credentials from Rockefeller Univ in NYC, and post-doctoral credentials from Harvard and Stanford, she speaks very clearly, even lucidly to the everyday reader. Admittedly, she states that immunology is an ". . . ivory tower" discipline, but she moves beyond that candid and honest statement, by showing HOW the 21st century populace became "married" to the concept of Vaccines, and then shows the fallacy in the concept, itself, and the inability of the concept to produce on its own promises. This is because of Primary and Secondary Vaccine failure, and the inherent ingredients which pose a Genuine Threat to the Life and Health of vaccine recipients of the 21st century.Additiionally, in this 50+pp brief tome, Dr Tetyana shows the failure of Vaccine Immunity v. Natural Immunity, and the inherent dangers which come with the CURRENT Vaccine Schedule: the Mercury [as a preservative] in many vaccines [especially Flu vaccines]. One thing the reader notices about Dr. Tetyana is that like Dr. Andy Wakefield (UK), Dr. Russell Blaylock (Ret. Pediatric Neuro-Surgeon), Dr. Suzanne Humphries, and Dr. Kelly Brogan (NYC physician), is that THESE academicians are ASKING Questions. Dr. Tetyana wants Truth to prevail, especially when an adult or child's life and health are at stake.Dr. Tetyana advocates FULLY-INFORMED CONSENT on the part of parents, especially and by patients in general. Much of the mainstream Medical Community and Mainline-Media BALK at much of what Dr. Tetyana advocates in this book, but of course they have good reason: PROFITS. Like few physicians and PhDs, Dr. Tetyana is honest and money is never FIRST, as it tends to be the case among the majority within the Gargantuan Pharmaceutical field. The pharmaceutical field is a morass where Clarity of Information has become increasingly obfuscated and even esoteric.Point: This book is not for those who want to feel GOOD about the current state of medical-affairs within the USA-Medical Community. This book is for those COURAGEOUS Readers who want the Truth ... the unvarnished, honest and Naked Truth. Sad to say, most people do not want to be Confused by the FACTS. Accordingly, this book is NOT for them.I LIKE this book because there are still SOME good physicians and academicians who want TRUTH at all costs, and CARE about their patients more than ACCOLADES and PROFITS. This book will appeal for those who want CANDOUR and Helpful, but sometimes disturbing Data about the Medical World in the West, as it currently stands. Dr. Tetyana is on the patient's side, on the Parents' side, and especially on the children's side. This book exudes Honesty, which is refreshing, and real honesty gets Specific, which was her motive all along.

    Like most people, I grew up accepting vaccination as a not-so-pleasant, but necessary part of life. I knew there were people who were anti-vaccination, but I could see no real reason to even investigate the reasons one might make this choice. Vaccinations stop you from getting sick; that's what I believed, in a nutshell.

    Then I had two children diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. I began reading. A lot! It was inevitable that the subject of vaccinations kept cropping up, and eventually, more out of academic interest than anything else, I decided to find out what all the debate was about.

    There are a great many books on the subject that I have not yet read, both for and against, but this book would have to be one of the best, and one of the first I would personally recommend on the subject. It is written by an immunologist, and highlights the way in which the whole vaccination paradigm rests on untested assumptions; for example, the assumption that anti-body production equals immunity. Indeed, the whole field of immunology is actually the study of how we can artificially replicate natural immunity. The problem is, NO-ONE HAS ACTUALLY RESEARCHED HOW NATURAL IMMUNITY WORKS. We have simply assumed that vaccinations work in the same way as natural exposure to viruses and bacteria. As my grandfather is fond of saying, "Assumption is the mother of all stuff-ups!" It is the author's belief, from her own experience as a researcher in the field of immunology, that these assumptions have not only prevented us from investigating and discovering the way natural immunity works, but they have also led us to accept a practice which, ironically, undermines our immune systems, both individually and as a society (yes, that old 'herd immunity' chestnut gets a mention).

    This is not written by someone with an ideological agenda, or anecdotal stories about what vaccination has done to them and their loved ones. There's no hint of big-pharma conspiracies to keep us all sick, or any other emotionally charged arguments. This is simply a book written by a scientist who had unanswered questions in her research area of immunology. Questions which she quickly discovered were frowned upon, but which had big implications for our understanding of how to work WITH our immune system, rather than against it. I am yet to discover any pro-vaccination material that even comes close to addressing her concerns.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for every parent!!
    Reviewed in Canada on February 15, 2024
    After reading this book it helped me in understanding the mechanics of vaccines and how they might be flawed. It also helps parents having doubt about vaccines and how to answer them.
    I would suggest reading an alternate solution to vaccine: homeopropalyxis after this book.
    The understanding of diseases susceptibility in real world is very well documented here and the above book.

    Sin la confusión introducida por los que sin formación científica rechazan o apoyan las vacunas de modo fanático es un alivio tener una información de una inmunóloga que simplemente expone lo que se sabe y lo que está probado y lo que no se ha investigado aún.
