The Greater Good

Just another example of how pseudo science is dressed up to look like science. No rational evidence is presented for the claims made in the film, just slickly produced emotional propaganda. Sure the families tear at the heart strings, exactly as intended, but few people with any scientific knowledge will swallow the message. The problem is that the public has forgotten what infectious disease can do to unprotected and vulnerable people. The film is without doubt well made and presented but that in itself cannot make up for the fact that it's message could lead to a further reduction in the rates of vaccination and as a consequence, an increase in death and disability especially among the young. Quote "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it" Joseph Goebbels

This film asks the necessary questions. The stories told are compelling and fascinating. They are sad yet hopeful. Who does pay for vaccine studies? How are those studies conducted? This film doesn't claim to have any answers, it simply poses questions. They let "both" sides of vaccine safety experts share their thoughts. I find it sad that this issue is so polarizing. And that more people don't bother to learn more for themselves. No matter what your opinion is, you will learn something from watching this film.I have no idea how that would make it complete sh*t. Fear is very profitable. From a production point of view, it is very well made and riveting to watch. It reminds me of horrifying documentaries like the Cove, except it's our children who are being hurt. Every should see this film.

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."

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?

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!
