Sulle vaccinazioni spesso si hanno poche informazioni e raramente sono precise, complete e trasparenti. La scelta vaccinale rischia quindi di diventare una questione di "tifoseria", secondo lo slogan che in tv viene gridato più forte. Mentre è bene invece che sia una scelta ponderata e basata su dati ed evidenze scientifiche, anche quelle "scomode", perché in letteratura ci sono. È questo il lavoro che Neil Z. Miller compie nel suo libro, in cui ha raccolto, analizzato, ordinato e presentato informazioni ad ampio spettro sui vaccini, soprattutto quelli per l'infanzia. Emerge un quadro assai interessante e rivelatore sui rapporti rischi-benefici delle vaccinazioni di massa, sui possibili effetti collaterali, sui retroscena delle scelte istituzionali e accademiche, sui danni accertati e molto altro. A corredo del testo troverete anche grafici e tabelle. L'edizione italiana è stata adattata e integrata con dati nazionali ed europei riguardanti l'effettiva morbilità e mortalità delle malattie e i potenziali effetti collaterali dei vaccini utilizzati. Sono state inserite anche informazioni riguardanti gli eventi avversi segnalati e segnalabili e i danni da vaccino riconosciuti. Questo manuale è un ausilio importante per tutti coloro che vogliono compiere una scelta consapevole e informata riguardo le vaccinazioni dei figli.

Provides a guide to childhood vaccines, detailing for each the disease it is intended to prevent, its side effects, and how it is made.

The Vaccine Safety Manual (new, updated 2012 edition) is the worlds most complete guide to immunization risks and protection. It includes pertinent information on every major vaccine: polio, tetanus, MMR, hepatitis A, B, HPV (cervical cancer), Hib, Flu, chickenpox, shingles, rotavirus, pneumococcal, meningococcal, RSV, DTaP, anthrax, smallpox, TB, and more. All of the information, including detailed vaccine safety and efficacy data, is written in an easy-to-understand format, yet includes more than 1,000 scientific citations. More than 100 charts, tables, graphs and illustrations supplement the text. This encyclopedic health manual is an important addition to every family's home library and will be referred to again and again.

"Autism is a complex disability resulting in brain damage, immune dysfunction, self-destructive behavior patterns, and unresponsiveness to other people. Recently, autism rates (and other childhood disorders) have skyrocketed. These increases closely parallel the growing number of mandatory vaccines. In some regions, 1 of every 150 children is now autistic. We have a national and potentially worldwide epidemic on our hands. Autism often strikes following an early childhood of apparently normal development.Many parents believe that childhood vaccines, especially MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), are responsible. Some studies confirm that vaccines may cause autism in certain predisposed children. However, health authorities deny that autism is linked to vaccines. Some studies support their position. Congress recently held several hearings to investigate the causes of, and cures for, this growing epidemic. The testimony hints at a medical coverup. This book chronicles Congressional efforts to expose the truth, summarizes vaccine studies on both sides of the debate, and provides parents with crucial data to make informed decisions."

"This bestselling immunization handbook evaluates each vaccine for safety, efficacy, and long-term effects. It contains the most comprehensive, up-to-date, uncensored data available -- information that many doctors don't even know. It includes the most recent studies, several case histories detailing vaccine-induced damage to children, and pinpoints for parents exact conditions that may put their own child at high risk. In addition, health alternatives are offered, along with legal options to mandatory shots. It contains 30 graphs and diagrams plus more than 900 footnotes and scientific references so that all of the information may be confirmed. Parents, educators, health professionals, and other concerned individuals have very few sources of information permitting them to make informed choices. But concerned parents are pleading for answers to their many questions. Doctors only tell them one side of the story; there is another side. Vaccines: Are They Really Safe and Effective? tells the other side, and helps all concerned people to make wise and responsible decisions. Includes information on ALL childhood shots, plus anthrax, smallpox, and flu. New, updated and revised edition. Copyright 2002. Over 100,000 copies sold!"
