For the next week, until November 5th, you can get a free preview of a
powerful new documentary examining vaccinations and the potential risk to children.
The Greater Good is not an "anti-vaccine" film. It examines the question from both sides addressing the increased number of vaccines given to infants in the first few months of life and the potential for damage, especially from heavy metal used as adjuvants in the vaccine solution.
The pharmaceutical industry has demonized parent/physician concerns framing any debate as pro-vaccine vs. anti-vaccine. It isn't. It's a "Let's make sure they're safe and follow a more common-sense strategy about vaccines." And let's separate the decision-making so physicians with links to the vaccine producers aren't the ones making decisions about government-mandated vaccinations.The system needs to change.
Should ALL vaccines be mandatory? Gardisil, for example, has a history of serious problems including death. Why is it okay to question prescription drugs for adults, but not okay to question the safety of vaccines that have increased from 23 doses to over 60 in the first eighteen months of life.
No one is suggesting a vaccine ban, but neither should parents be forced to immunize a two month old with dozens of doses of vaccines, some of which, like the HPV vaccine, are transmitted by sexual activity.
One of my daughters was told by her pediatrician that if she chose to stretch out vaccines rather than follow the recommended schedule, she was no longer welcome in the practice. She left, not because she is anti-vaccine, but she did not want to overwhelm the immune system of her baby. Another daughter has had no trouble with her pediatrician who is perfectly willing to follow an altered schedule.
Take a look at the film. Please don't just blast me for bringing up a subject that deserves to be treated seriously. Note the pediatrician near the end who says he's treated hundreds of cases of vaccine damage as he describes being interviewed (don't recall the show) and when it aired the issue was presented as hysterical moms against the white-coated Ivy League doctors. All the interviews with physicians questioning the wisdom of the current system were cut. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
