The Greater Good

My girlfriend was an anti-vaxxer and i always thought it was so strange she took the most conspiratorial aspects to heart. This really broadens the subject to more concrete economical and political terms that are much more realistic. The science is what scares most people and the misunderstanding of it is what starts the crazies going. Presenting just the facts is enough and this film does that satisfactorily.

A lot of the reviews here are people with their own agenda and biases confirming their own stance and reinforcing their own established position. The video they are reviewing however is an attempt to provide an escape from that kind of thinking by presenting opportunities for each side to acknowledge and agree with each other.

I get it, a lot of people are just looking for attention but the fact of the matter is the issue exists and there are things people can do about it.

So why not make things better for everyone?

One of the saddest refuges of those wanting to make a buck off the backs of suffering parents, and the naive is the manipulative pseudo-science "debate" based on false equivalence.

This movie is the epitome of half-assing the science coupled with emotive pulling on the heart strings, coupled with "experts" who have no background or rationale in the area they are talking about. I can only assume they hoped if they showed you enough sad stories of parents and children with difficult medical issues you would forget about expecting some evidence, logic or a rational basis for their claims.

If you needed further evidence... the film-maker, Leslie Manookian Bradshaw, is a registered Homeopath. You know... that ridiculous non-medical treatment that claims the more you dilute something the more powerful it gets.... (I guess Dinosaur urine is the most powerful thing on the planet, then)... which was just classed as not a medical treatment by the FDA.

Don't waste your time.

Since I'm not going to waste my time with a breakdown of the various unfounded claims, if you want a more scientific and section by section refutation of this complete crock of a movie... You can find one at the "Science Based Medicine Blog".

I have 4 kids, 2 grown, vaccinated & 2 younger who aren't. All the parents want:to haves studies done that ARE NOT being paid for by the drug companies that are making BILLIONS of dollars! Would someone please ask me and other parents of non vaccinated kids to be in a study to see how healthy they are? The oldest 2 with vaccines were sick all the time, on antibiotics at least 1 or more times per month. The youngest 2, who are 15 and 13, have NOT seen a doctor or antibiotic in over 6 yrs! All of their friends and cousins are vaccinated and are sick about every other month! To the person who said this DVD is wrong..Do some research, see what is in the vaccines, ask parents who have not vaccinated their kids.Do you work for a drug company, school system, or state agency (who has funds cut when they do not get the required % of kids vaccinated)? Yes, look it up, State agency's get their funding cut if they do not reach a high enough level of vaccinated kids. Vaccines are not held to the same standard as other drugs! Parents should have the right to informed information, that is not provided and paid for by the companies who are making BILLIONS every year! Also, you may want to look up info on a case in France, that held criminal charges against a drug company that produced the Hep B vaccine, after the government saw how many kids were being permanently damaged! You are uneducated or are making money on the drugs, otherwise you would realize that parents should have the same rights and studies done as you do before taking new drug prescribed to you by a doctor!

Before watching this documentary I was completely pro-vaccine, had no doubts at all. I have a PhD in chemistry and was very confident that there was no need to question vaccines. However, after watching this documentary I've now realized that vaccines are not about science, there is in fact no science backing them up, the studies are avoided and in many cases rigged. Vaccines are spreading disease to drive the pharmaceutical market, they spread autoimmune diseases and allergies leaving us on drugs for life, this is how the pharmaceuticals increase the size of their market.

We all know that the pharmaceuticals are unethical companies, yet for some reason we think it's OK to trust them with vaccines, when the reality is that Pharma have the huge conflict of interest i.e they profit when we are sick. It should be of no surprise that they want to inject us with toxic metals, antifreeze, Formaldehyde, aborted fetus, and cells grown in diseased animals.

I feel like I've had my blinkers on, I checked the date of when my Diabetes Type 1 first appeared, it was just 2 weeks after a flu vaccine. I was perfectly healthy until then.

The pharmaceuticals pay people to come here and rank this documentary down, but please please please ignore them, don't be afraid of information, keep your mind open, the documentary looks into both sides of the story, it allows both sides to argue their point. It's one of the most important documentaries you'll watch in your life.

My wife and I are in the middle of our research for vaccinations for our children. I came across this movie, and I purchased the five-day stream from their website, and we watched it tonight. It is high-quality and very engaging. Is this movie biased? Yes, it is. However, I also believe it is fair, especially compared to what is fed to us by politics and rich news channels. In the documentary, they present the opinions and thoughts of many different "camps." Unfortunately, those who simply ask for research are so quickly and unfairly placed into the "anti-vaccination camp." However, the main plea of this documentary is not "Stop the vaccinations!" It's "Give us the science, and give us the choice." It does not cram down your throat anti-vaccination propaganda. Instead, it begs for true science to be done so that all parents can make educated choices. Even three years after this movie was released, it is still popular. If true research and science were done, no matter what the conclusion, this movie would be stopped in its tracks. What makes this movie powerful and dangerous to vaccination companies is the emotionally- driven stories of three families. However, this film also gives a seemingly fair voice to the pro- vaccination people, including the presidents of vaccination companies and developers of vaccinations. Of course, we don't have everything they said when the cameras were rolling. Instead, we just have what the production company wanted us to hear. So, what does this mean? Watch this movie with your brain and not your heart. Understand that it was produced for those of us on the fence and is powerful enough to persuade us. I definitely recommend you watch it if you're researching this topic. Watch this movie in ADDITION to your research not AS your "research."
