The Greater Good

Unfortunately most people who approach this issue are drawn to either of the extremes. Anyone who wishes to try to approach the issue from an unbiased critical position is almost always lumped in with the group that is disagreed with.

This film does as good a job as I have seen to present two different opinions. It should be noted that the film is not anti-vaccine so much as it is anti-enforced vaccine. It does not go into scientific detail regarding the process of immunity, side-effects and that sort of thing.

Unfortunately, because we are dealing with children, emotion is a by-product of the discussion. The film presents two opposing views, one from the scientific pharmaceutical community who sincerely believe what they do is for the "greater good", the other is from the scientific practitioners and parents who sincerely believe the vaccine industry carries with it many inherent risks which are not being addressed. Because of the overwhelming positive scientific evidence that is prevalent in our culture, this film takes more time to look into some special cases in which, at the absolute least, vaccines seem to correlate to a worse state than a better one. Whether or not these are only isolated, non-causal cases, you are to determine based on the evidence.

The key point is that information is a good thing. You should not be watching this to confirm your position. You should watch this as a small part of your research into the vaccine dialogue. Truth will always vindicate itself and can withstand any amount of scrutiny.

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.

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!

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?
