This book provides parents with a comprehensive, scientifically
based guide to the facts, myths, problems and solutions associated with
raising a vaccine free child. It helps them protect their children both
from the wiles of the vaccine industry and from harmful germs. It
explains the difference between childhood diseases and the other
infectious diseases, which is the key to understanding immunisation. The
book provides an insight into the workings of the vaccine industry, and
into the role of the media in perpetuating myths about vaccination and
infectious diseases. There is a detailed chapter on "herd immunity"
which empowers parents to withstand the accusation that their vaccine
free children pose a threat to others. It also helps parents cope with
aggression from individuals and with intimidation from the medical
authorities. A look at the history of vaccination reveals that it is an
unscientific procedure that is based on falsehood, cruelty and
supposition.
