Book Reviews of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinations
Book Review: A Needed Eye-Opener
Summary: 5 Stars
This much-needed book alerts parents about problems with vaccinations that their pediatricians will brush aside. If you are pregnant or a new parent, for the sake of your child, please read and seriously consider this book before consenting to the literally dozens of vaccinations your doctor's office will push on your infant during the first two years.
One note: a few other reviews complained that this book "falsely" states that state laws require children to be vaccinated. While there may be no laws requiring immunization per se, in most places children cannot attend public school, preschool or daycare without proof of the vaccinations. (As a mother and public schoolteacher, I know this from experience. I have had new students taken out of my classroom after administration found they had incomplete vaccination records on file; the students were only allowed in after the vaccinations were complete.)
So unless you plan to completely homeschool your child, or pay to send him or her to one of the few private schools that does not require vaccination, the law does present a dilemma for parents with legitimate concerns about vaccines. My concerns about vaccines were brushed away by my son's doctor's office. He got the shots. Now he has autism.
Book Review: Excellent overview of vaccines
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was incredibly helpful in reading through the various vaccines. Even though it is about 10 years old now, the information is still timely for the most part. My husband and I don't have kids yet and haven't quite settled on which vaccines our kids will and won't get, but they will be few.
I thought Dr. Cave's explanations were concise and ordered, and easy to follow. I believe this is a book I can keep on my shelf as a reference, and I would readily lend it out to friends. If you are reading this review, then you are likely at least taking a second look at vaccines. Please read the book and do your research before letting your child one receive more shot. Also, do NOT default to your doctor. Hear what your Dr. has to say and get a second opinion on your own. There are too many doctors who have their hands tied by insurance and the CDC that they will not truly speak their mind about vaccines or even TELL you that you DO have the right to refuse vaccines for your child. If you let your child get shots, you MUST be informed.
Read this book to become informed.
