What More Evidence Could We Possibly Need?
I doubt that anyone has written a more thorough history of vaccination in the USA and Great Britain than the authors of this book. It is so totally thorough and above reproach (let’s face it, it has to be in this day and age where anyone even hinting at questioning a vaccine is nailed to a proverbial cross) that the only people who could possibly have an issue with it are those who have a vested interest in suppressing the truth along their stupid little trolls, both paid and unpaid. The trolls themselves are incapable of intelligent thought, lack morality of any kind, and more than likely haven’t even touched the book let alone read it. Read their reviews and you’ll see what I mean.

The book goes back to the good old days were living in squalor and filth were the norm and people died of all sorts of diseases caused by exposure to dirty sewage, rancid food, and other equally deplorable conditions. Animals were diseased and disease all around was a way of life. The diseases of the day are covered in descriptive detail in the book.
Next, the authors move onto smallpox and the first vaccine. History is quite a bit different than the party line that this vaccine “eradicated smallpox.” It did not, quite the contrary. Lots of information on contaminated vaccines is offered before moving onto polio, pertussis, and measles. The book winds up explaining the critical importance of vitamin C and other lost remedies many of which are likely to be sitting in your homes right now. This part is pure gold. If you think allopathic medicine and a white coat is the ONLY option, you are not going to see the value. That’s a crying shame, maybe not so much for you personally but your children.
This is a long and detailed read. It was indeed a slow one and if you are like me, someone with firm reading goals, you might feel impatient with the slower pace but it is well worth your time to read this book cover to cover. However, even if you don’t and you skip around, read only pertinent sections at a time or spend more time just covering graphs and data, it is all time well spent. The sections on natural and lost remedies alone are worth the price of the book even if only to ameliorate the fear surrounding any illness by balancing it with a sense of individual empowerment.
JFK once stated that the one thing worse than a lie is the myth perpetuated by that lie. Vaccines are perhaps the biggest modern example of a lie told so many times over that it is unquestionably and with no thought required accepted as a universal truth. This is the comfortable choice. However, what you don’t know can hurt you.
BRB Rating: Own It.
