Educational and historical scientific literature for the win!

This book was well written and educational. The author looks deep into the medical history books and follows 2 children with different lives, but similar disabilities.

The author does not diminish the horrors of diphtheria, yet he also doesn’t diminish the horrors of vaccine reactions. Anyone who doesn’t believe we should have safer vaccines for those who want to use them, should skip this book. If you’re happy with the vaccines described in this book, for which the manufacturers have no motivation to make better, you are willfully taking the chance of harming your children for a lifetime. Increasing the cdc children’s vaccine schedule from roughly 5 vaccines in the 1960’s and 70’s to 72 doses in today’s childhood is simply not justified. Especially with no attendant increase in death or illness from those childhood infections.

Thank you, Forrest Maready, for going through the CDC Children’s vaccine schedule and informing us of when each vaccine or additional dose was added.

And most of all, thank you for delving deep into the medical literature so that we can make health decisions based on facts, not media hype and pharmaceutical marketing!

Excellent production and an even better story

This is the second audio book I have enjoyed by the author. (The first being The Moth in the Iron Lung, which I also highly recommend.) Despite its seemingly sensational title, which Maready clarifies in the final chapter, this book is mostly a history of the rise of autism. He raises serious and unanswered questions surrounding the connection between the discovery of autism, the astronomical rise of the disease, and the simultaneous introduction of the practice of injecting metallic neurotoxins. For anyone with a curious mind and a distaste for the assertion that the science on this topic is "settled," this book is a must read/listen. I only wish these discussions went on while I was learning in medical school. I'm looking forward to listening to Maready's other books.

Well-Written and Well-Read

I work in the medical field and hold a doctoral degree. I am data driven. I seek Truth even when it doesn't agree with my presumptions. I sought to debunk the vaccine topic related to autism a few years ago. As I continue to seek Truth in this matter by examining the evidence from both sides of the table, my assessment thus far is to seriously question the need for vaccinations. Take each vaccine on a case by case and patient by patient basis. Many vaccines MAY protect against illnesses that are mild and are just an inconvenience. Others MAY protect against more serious illnesses. You have to weigh the risks and benefits. The risk of getting a vaccine and the risk of not getting one.

This book should help you get an idea of the history of development of vaccines, in particular the Diphtheria vaccine. I feel the author has no agenda or alterior motive other than to present the truth. He is careful to state when things are facts versus when they are theory. And that shows character and the desire for accuracy.

Additionally, the author is very good at telling the story. That is an art that is difficult to do.

I recommend this book to those wanting to learn more about the topic of aluminum and it's implication in autism.

Eye Opening

This was by far the most eye opening book listened to. I am a mother of 2 on the spectrum and 1 with learning disabilities. We did genetic testing and found nothing so I started to wonder about what was causing it. This, along with other mom's testimonies have got me thinking about furthering my education. Well done!

Great Historical perspective

Great to look at the History of how we got to where we are with vaccines and aluminum toxicity. Tells the story very clearly. I highly recommend this book.

AMAZING INSIGHT!!

Great work uncovering truth's!!! Forrest Maready talks in great length about how vaccines have been blindly pushed and we blindly take them, with very little to no research.

thank you for being brave and speaking up.

As a parent I have been treated unfairly while asking my pediatrician questions about vaccines that were given to my children. Intimidated and belittled...bullied. I should have known better and stand up for them before damage was done. We need more authors like Forrest to be brave and educate parents like me with well done research collected in one place. Thank you!

mindblowing!!

I absolutely loved it! i hate the fact that we're the cause of the epidemic of autism but soo many ppl have been misguided and think tant autism is solely genetic and has been here for centuries and this book debunks those myths and proves once and for all how vaccines CAN cause things like autism and how our government has known for quite some time. thank you Forrest Maready!

Knowledge is power

This subject is very complex. When you learn about the history of vaccination, you really start to understand how this is effecting all of us, and generations to come. You also get an idea of why people, on both ends, believe in what they believe. F. Maready does an excellent job telling our history in this book. I also appreciate his detailed thoughts with different theories.

Crucial information at hand

Beautifully written, the information, the transitions, the connections, everything was well done. This book will forever be one of the first books every expecting parent and pediatrician should read.
