Book Reviews of Vaccines: The Risks, the Benefits, the Choices, a Resource Guide for Parents
Book Review: Good companion to the DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
I am so glad that Dr. Sherri Tenpenny has become obsessed with vaccines and the CDC. I have learned more about the classic question "Are vaccines safe and effective?" from Dr. Tenpenny than any other source.
Dr. Tenpenny explains the common vaccine myths and why people should question vaccinating. For instance, there is the myth that childhood diseases have a high rate of serious complications. She points out the in 15 years (from 1980 to 1995) 92 deaths were reported from pertussis, that is 6.13 deaths per year from the disease. While in 1998 alone, there were 17 reported deaths the day after a pertussis vaccine. She makes these arguements well.
The following sections are less substanial. She goes through each vaccine and gives their ingredients. She has a few graphs that demonstrate that diseases were already on the decline when the vaccines were introduced. The section on legally avoiding vaccines was weak. She simply has letters that it looks as though she thinks you should submit. That wouldn't help with the school issue at all. She doesn't even mention the medical or religious waivers or how to get them. She includes some parent resources, and articles and abstracts that were sort of dry.
But the part I liked the most is the section that is a print out of her power point presentation. I had listened to her DVD Vaccines: The Risks, The Benefits, The Choices several times in my car on the way to and from work, always wishing I had time to make notes. Now with this book, which is best as a companion to the DVD, I don't have to make notes. I do recommend her DVD as it really brings this subject to life. It's one thing to read a book about vaccine safety, or lack of, but it's another to hear a medical doctor tell you how dangerous they really are.
I also enjoyed her DVD Vaccines: What CDC Documents and Science Reveal and recommend that anyone interested in the subject of vaccines see it.
Summary of Vaccines: The Risks, the Benefits, the Choices, a Resource Guide for Parents
This comprehensive guide is a great resource for those looking for facts and research to support their decision not to vaccinate. This parent manual features current research articles from peer-reviewed medical journals, vaccination support groups listed state by state, lists of controversial vaccine ingredients, exemption forms, and a section refuting commonly held vaccination beliefs point by point. A copy of the slides from Dr. Tenpenny's DVD entitled "Vaccines: The Risks, The Benefits, The Choices" is also included. An excellent reference for defending your vaccination position with in-laws, friends and even your pediatrician!Reference Books
