The CDC’s bloated vaccine schedule has doubled since 1988, after the federal government gave pharmaceutical companies immunity from lawsuits. Autism and other childhood disorders like asthma, ADHD, juvenile diabetes and digestive ailments have skyrocketed. And parents are understandably nervous, desperate for objective guidance that takes those concerns seriously.

Vaccines 2.0 looks at the lengthy roster of today’s recommended injections, the documented risks that accompany them, and helps parents choose a schedule based on unbiased, uncensored, unconflicted science. From whether to get a flu shot during pregnancy--and how to avoid dangerous mercury if you do--to the Hep B shot within hours of birth, to the controversial Gardasil vaccine for preteens, Vaccines 2.0/i> provides the tools to decide for yourself.

The three sections cover: Why should you care? What should you know? What can you do? The exclusive Risk-Reward Assessment assigns a numerical score to each of the 14 recommended vaccines. Also included is information on learning to spot, report and treat side effects; talking to your doctor and finding a sympathetic one if you can't, and comparing alternative schedules if you decide to delay or skip shots. When it comes to your child, it's your choice. Vaccines 2.0 will give you the information you need to choose wisely.

If you can only give one book to a new parent, give this one

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2016

Verified Purchase

Excellent book for parents and anyone considering any of the 16 vaccines (69 doses) on the CDC schedule for children through age 18. This doesn't include the adult vaccines like shingles. They give a clear accounting of all the rewards and risks of each vaccine along with some history of each. It isn't well referenced and as I've already commented, I think they're mistaken that polio and smallpox were eradicated due to vaccines. But they give compelling evidence to avoid the vaccines with the worst scores and to at least delay any that a parent might be inclined to use. They give some choices on how to space them even if deciding to go with the entire schedule in a safer fashion that the CDC schedule. In order from worst to best (or least worse?) are HPV/Gardasil, Hepatitis B, Varicella (Chickenpox), Influenza (Flu), Rotavirus (diarrhea), Tetanus, Mumps, Pneumococcal, Diptheria, Polio, Meningococcal, Hepatitis A, Hib, Measles, Rubella, Persussis (Whooping cough). A good companion book to go along with this one would be Suzanne Humphries', Dissolving Illusions, where she gives a more complete history of each vaccine. Her website and youtube videos also give plenty of safe and effective ways to care for children who come down with infectious diseases should one decide not to
vaccinate. But for the current schedule as of 2015, if you wanted to give just one book to a new parent in a quandary about vaccines, this would be a good one. The parent, armed with just this one book, would sadly be more informed than the vast majority of pediatricians.

INCREDIBLY HELPFUL!

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2020

WOW! I'm recommending this book to all of my new mom friends! I SO appreciated their perspective -- not anti-vaccine, but not the pro-vaccine propaganda that we so often hear from doctors. This book educated me on the vaccine industry, specific history of various vaccines, history and risk of the illnesses that our children are "supposed" to vaccinated against, etc. The risk-reward ratings were so helpful, and I appreciated the advice they gave on making your own schedule and talking with pediatricians about your preferences. I feel so much more prepared.

NOTE: this book does have quite a few typos, but the authors' writing is still very good. I was just an English major so I realize things like that. :)

I like how the authors explain the risks and benefits of vaccines, compared to the disease they are protecting. Definitely not an Anti-Vaccine agenda, just awareness of risks for getting the vaccine vs the disease. Eye opening for safety concerns for vaccine safety data too! I'm glad I read it!

This book is a must-read for all new parents. Incredibly informative without being overtly anti-vaccine and contains vital information for anyone who questions their vaccine choices. I am so glad I purchased and read this book!! I cannot say thank you enough to the authors for compiling information that is difficult to find in this format elsewhere.

This book is a rare gem. During my search for the right book, it was nearly impossible to find one that was up to date and included the resent CDC cover up. Another must-have was that the book be fairly short. This book is up to date and includes all of the must-know information in regards to vaccine caution. I highly suggest this for anyone who's new to the vaccine issue and wants to get caught up fast on vaccine safety.

Parents read this book

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a must read for any potential or new parents. I found this one of the best books for information I was hungering for. No cliches or quick dismissals from arrogant physicians who can't take two seconds out their assembly line health care day to talk to you about this serious serious decision. We are making the decision for our children to participate (or not) in the government mandated vaccine program and it is a heavy burden not to be treated lightly. We bring our healthy babies to the table - the drug makers, government and the doctors need to really make it safe. That should be their responsibility. They currently are failing miserably and big money is the emphasis not child safety. If your child is damaged or killed you are the only one that is responsible for the whole mess - Doctors and drug companies cannot be sued for damage/death for anything vaccine related... that is a sobering truth many of us parents have no clue about. Start there and read this book as you do your own research... don't believe it unless you can prove it to yourself and your precious child!

I recommend this book for everyone interested in learning more about vaccines and the illnesses they "fight". I started reading about the subject with Dr. Sears' "The Vaccine Book", but this is much more detailed about ingredients and effectiveness of shots.

Great info

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2016

I really enjoyed this book. I do believe there was amazing information provided to help ME make the best choice for my children. There were moments of "this vaccine is a good idea" and moments of "this vaccine is a subpar idea" and then gave the why behind both views. It is logical and realistic and i recommend to all parents or soon to be parents

A Must Read for Any Parent Deciding Which Shots are Essential for Their Baby

Reviewed in India on May 23, 2015

Verified Purchase

If you are a Mom or Dad who is trying to decide what to do with the 33 plus shots that are now "required" with much pressure by doctors for our children before they are 5 (most before they are 2) this is the book for you. My son was developing normally in every way until he hit the shot traffic jam at 6-12 months. He stopped responding to his name, stopped looking us in the eyes, stopped saying "Daddy and Mommy", stopped eating vegetables and fruits, stopped sleeping more than three hours. By 2 years old, I was horribly distraught. We had his hearing checked. Normal. A speech therapist who met him suggested autism and he was later diagnosed with nonverbal autism. Our biomedical doctor listened to the symptoms, the regression of development, and taught us about "Immunization Induced Autism." This is what we believe happened to our son. If you are concerned in the least, this book will give you the tools you need to be informed and to protect your child.
