Vaccine Epidemic - by Louise Kuo Habakus and Mary Holland

The book the pharmaceutical industry doesn't want you to read! National polls show that Americans are increasingly concerned about vaccine safety and the right to make individual, informed choices together with their healthcare practitioners. Vaccine Epidemic focuses on the searing debate surrounding individual and parental vaccination choice in the United States. Featuring more than twenty experts from the fields of ethics, law, science, medicine, business, and history, Vaccine Epidemic urgently calls for reform. It is the essential handbook for the vaccination choice movement and required reading for all people contemplating vaccination for themselves and their children. Louise Kuo Habakus and Mary Holland edit and introduce a diverse array of interrelated topics concerning the explosive vaccine controversy, including: • The human right to vaccination choice • The ethics and constitutionality of vaccination mandates • Personal narratives of parents, children, and soldiers who have suffered vaccine injury • Vaccine safety science and evidence-based medicine • Corrupting conflicts of interest in the national vaccine program • What should parents do? A review of eight advice books on vaccines that span the gamut. Now updated and available in paperback! Includes new chapters: The new chapters focus on institutional scientific misconduct, vaccine mandates for healthcare workers, concerns about HPV vaccine development, and the story behind the Supreme Court’s recent vaccine decision.

NEW CHAPTERS! The new chapters focus on institutional scientific misconduct, vaccine mandates for healthcare workers, concerns about HPV vaccine development, and the story behind the Supreme Court’s recent vaccine decision. JULIAN WHITAKER, MD The Greatest Threat to Our Country Julian discusses the links between childhood vaccines and autism, and the utter lack of scientific basis for the HPV vaccine. He underscores the collusion between government and Big Pharma that has made mandated vaccination programs a serious threat to our children’s well-being and our country’s future. Whitaker offers solutions, including returning tort liability to the pharmaceutical companies and restoring parental rights. Julian graduated from Dartmouth College and Emory University Medical School. In 1979, he opened the Whitaker Wellness Institute, where he has treated more than fifty thousand patients with diet, exercise, targeted nutritional supplements, and safe, noninvasive therapies. Julian is the author of thirteen books and the editor of the Health & Healing newsletter, which has reached more than 4 million households since 1991. Julian is the founder of the Freedom of Health Foundation. RUSS BRUESEWITZ Justice Disserved: The Hannah Bruesewitz Story A father describes his family’s heroic eighteen-year-long battle to try to win justice for his daughter. Hannah developed a catastrophic seizure disorder two hours after receiving a federally-recommended vaccine. What would you do if this same vaccine was pulled from the market several years later because it was deemed insufficiently safe? There Supreme Court told him that there is no court in the land that will hear his case. Parents should know: when it comes to defective vaccine design claims, you are on your own. DAVID LEWIS, PHD The Exoneration of Professor Walker-Smith In March 2012, the High Court of England and Wales overturned the U.K. General Medical Council's (GMC) findings of serious professional misconduct against Professor John Walker-Smith, one of the coauthors of the controversial 1998 Lancet study linking autism in eight of 12 children with MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccination. Dr. Lewis explains how the decision relates to Dr. Andrew Wakefield, and discusses previously unpublished documents Brian Deer concealed from the GMC, which completely vindicate Wakefield as well. David was a senior-level research microbiologist at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Research and Development and served on the graduate faculty at the University of Georgia. His groundbreaking research in the disparate fields of dentistry, endoscopy, and biosolids, published inNature, Lancet, and other leading peer-reviewed journals, forced government agencies in the U.S. and worldwide to confront dangerous practices and issue new guidelines. He is a recipient of the EPA’s prestigious Science Achievement Award and currently directs the Research Misconduct Project of the National Whistleblowers Center in Washington, DC. TONI BARK, MD Flu Mandates for U.S. Health Care Workers: Policy Without Reason Toni explores the scientific basis behind new compulsory influenza vaccine mandates for healthcare workers and concludes that there is insufficient science to justify the implementation and enforcement of this policy. Toni is a medical doctor who trained in pediatrics, rehab, and naturopathic medicine. Toni has an intense interest in environmental impact on health. After working three stints in Haiti post-earthquake, she began her studies in health care emergency medicine and disaster planning, which led her to investigate vaccine policy, ethics, safety, and production. DAN OLMSTED AND MARK BLAXILL A License to Kill? Dan and Mark write about astonishing conflicts of interest inherent in the “public-private partnership” that made the U.S. government and Merck close business partners in the fast-tracked delivery of the human papillomavirus vaccine to the marketplace. Dan is an investigative reporter and Editor of Age of Autism. He began writing about autism in 2005 at United Press International, where his articles on the apparent absence of autism among the Amish, and the identities of the first cases of autism reported in the medical literature in the 1940s attracted attention. He was an original staff member and Assistant National Editor at USA Today. He graduated from Yale College. Dan is co-author, with Mark Blaxill, of The Age of Autism -- Mercury, Medicine, and a Man-made Epidemic. Mark is the father of a daughter diagnosed with autism, co-founder of the Canary Party, Editor-at-large for Age of Autism, a director of SafeMinds, and a frequent speaker at autism conferences.
