1.0 out of 5 starsAnti-Vax lies
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2019
There doesn’t seem to be any evidence in the book to support that any of its ideas are indeed safe or effective, the book pushes just about every anti-vaccine talking point out there today.
Thomas is quick to cherry pick studies that support the ideas he likes and label them as “important studies” among “a growing body of evidence,” but if the studies don’t, then they are “a handful of poorly designed, anecdotal studies.”
Thomas also routinely downplays the risks of vaccine-preventable diseases (they all seem to be easily treatable in his imaginary world), overstates the risks of vaccines (they all seem to be full of horrible "poisons"), makes heavy use of anecdotes, repeatedly makes it sound like every other pediatrician(99.9% of them!) is doing something wrong.
Unfortunately, the dangerous advice in this book extends well beyond repeatedly telling parents to “say no thank you” to multiple vaccines and to delay others.
The advice to “decline vaccines” during pregnancy has to be right up there with the most dangerous advice in his book, but you be the judge…
