So while yes, the authors could and perhaps should have included a more detailed citation of the paper than the limited quote from the abstract, the full story isn't nearly as close to a full about-face that would amount to intentional mischaracterization. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. A few weeks later my middle child's only issue was she was born premature was perfectly healthy for the first 4 years of her life vaccine free, after those 5 vaccines (given in one day in only two "jabs") she starts having some intense mood swings, and also begins to wet the bed, and by the end right before we went to see the pediatrician she was so thirsty it was ludicrous, so by the 8th week we decided it was definitely time to get her seen. 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.

Even our state of PA wants proof of Vax if we go the route of legit homeschooling, so are we supposed to forgo indoctrination I mean education for our kids and hide in a cave for the rest of our lives ? We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Here, once again, Rintoul is guilty of that which he accuses the authors, which are clear from the very first page of the chapter that vaccination rates in Leicester never dropped to zero, but rather to around 10 percent which is far below the standard messaging from the medical community about vaccination coverage and "herd immunity", and can hardly qualify as "many people [who] remained in the population". Anyone who thinks we are being looked after by the likes of Bill Gates, et al, out of some philanthropic ideal, is, I'm afraid, sadly misguided.

Still trying to wrap my head around fact that the CDC is mandating 3-4x times the amount of vaccines since the 50's.

This is a warning people, going down this road and reading these books, having these discussions, making these choices for your kids offers nothing but pain, these societies around the planet don't like us thinking for ourselves, its too dangerous for them for us to think, so strap on your Nikes, log into your fantasy football league, make some comments on FB and stay there where its normal and safe, because this path that I am on is a frigging nightmare. To round out the response to this objection, it's absurd to complain that the citation list is too extensive and full of irrelevant information, and that "the authors might have produced a book less than 10% the length", as if the authors had done so, the objection of course would have been rather that the narrative was not sufficiently documented or based in the scientific literature.

While I'm not necessarily convinced by the virulent (bad pun intended) anti-vaccine conclusions drawn by the book, I nevertheless find it is helpful in view of the historical data to have a more sober, moderate evaluation of the role of vaccines in improving public health. It's not often you read a book that peels back the layers and means you realise what a massive lie society has been fed and nourished on - in particular the great small pox and polio vaccine success myths. Well I happen to be a real scientist on this planet, and the treatment of Wakefield in the book, which I think was no longer than a paragraph, can hardly be characterized (honestly) as belief that some international cabal pulling all of the strings is disingenuous at best. The author also points out that we should not believe something just because someone in authority says it. We either sacrifice all of our kids at the alter of the collective good or hide in our house like troglodytes until we figure out what to do.
