Vaxxed II: The People's Truth

I saw Vaxxed II last night in Schenectedy with a full house. The movie is fast paced. It is difficult to endure the suffering of so many children and families. It is uplifting to see all the healthy unvaccinated children. They confirm my own experience of 30 years of elementary teaching. I left the movie with a much stronger will to get the word out, talk to my representatives, etc.

I have been a nurse practitioner for 25 years working with women, babies and families and I would encourage everyone to see this movie. I have seen many vaccine damaged children in my career and this isn't something made up for any movie. This is a health crisis. Just ask yourself how the pharmaceutical companies can remove liability from their products. I would never use a product that has done this and I recommend you do either.

This is yet another work of fiction from the anti vaxer disease peddlers. NINE people have DIED in Samoa due to the current Measles outbreak in that nation. Most of these deaths are children. This outbreak is directly the fault of anti vaxers who peddle their lies and falsehoods, along with their very expensive snake oil. People like this have very real blood on their hands.

As someone who is not anti-vaccine, but a skeptic of vaccine safety, I find this film and it's prequel to represent a very important contribution to the conversation regarding medical safety. Why can we hold medical professionals and institutions liable for injury for every other procedure, treatment or medicine, but we cannot hold them liable for vaccine-related injuries and death? Yes, many people are completely anti-vaccine, but there are also many like me who advocate for safe medicine. Vaccine-related injuries are recognized but downplayed as more and more vaccines are introduced and mandated, resulting in higher rates of injuries. If you haven't, I highly suggest watching Vaxxed and Vaxxed II.

Wakefield is a disgraced UK gastroenterologist, who lost his medical license. His article, posted in the Lancet in 1998, clamming a link between autism and vaccines (specially the MMR) was debunked and retracted and considered fraudulent. He relies on fear mongering and scare tactics to try and remain relevant this day and age. Do not believe or the untruth and lies. Vaccines saves lives.
