Review

"This is the best book ever written on this subject. I cannot imagine how many hours were spent researching the information. The chapter on the HPV vaccine is one of the most incisive, data-packed and well-argued pieces of scientific journalism I have ever seen. This book will go a long way toward helping people make critical vaccine decisions."

"Neil Miller's Vaccine Safety Manual is a comprehensive, scientifically-documented MUST READ for every parent, healthcare professional and policymaker who faces the dilemma of compulsory vaccination."

From the Publisher

The author spent nearly three years researching vaccine studies from around the world and summarizing them in this monumental work. Each chapter in this Vaccine Safety Manual begins with a definition of the particular disease for which a vaccine has been developed, including data on who is most at risk, disease prevalence and severity. The vaccine for each disease is then analyzed according to its safety and efficacy profile. The safety sections include studies documenting vaccine-associated morbidity and mortality, as well as several personal stories from vaccine victims attesting to the real toll on human lives. Some chapters also include case histories from the U.S. government's own national database of vaccine damage -- VAERS. The efficacy sections analyze data from multiple sources to reveal the prophylactic potential of each vaccine: how likely it is to protect against the disease and reduce its incidence throughout society. Excerpts from congressional hearings, and vaccine debacles of historical significance, are included in this book as well. Charts, graphs, tables and other illustrations supplement the text for added comprehension.

Vaccine Safety Manual for Concerned Families and Health Practitioners, 2nd Edition: Guide to Immunization Risks and Protection PDF

I was not vaccinated as a child. With the sparse information on vaccines that was available at the time, my parents did their research and elected to raise me without medical intervention. I always seemed healthier than my vaccinated peers, who were sick many times each year. I rarely became ill, and when I did get sick, I healed quickly, always without allopathic medicine. Of course, non-vaccination is a choice that should be made only after ample research. Today, I am a well-educated, healthy adult, and soon I will have children. My children will need to know that their parents, like mine, did their due diligence prior to birth, or shortly thereafter.

When I came across the Vaccine Safety Manual, I immediately realized that vaccine research has entered a new era. This is no ordinary book. Although it is a scholarly guide, it is well organized and well written so that average people (and avid researchers) can quickly gain the knowledge they seek on any vaccine. You don't need to read this book from beginning to end, but can use it as a reference for the vaccines that you are most interested in learning about. For example, I wanted to know why babies are given the hepatitis B vaccine, so I started with that chapter, which begins on page 261 (and ends on page 312). This chapter begins with a thorough definition of the disease, who is most likely to get it, how many people get it, etc. All of the information is taken directly from official sources, such as peer-reviewed studies. There are sections in that chapter on safety and how well the vaccine works, and the safety section breaks the studies down into sub-sections, such as studies that link the vaccine to a) arthritis, b) autoimmune/nervous system disorders, c)visual/hearing problems, d) blood disorders, etc.

This book was written by Neil Miller, the author of the classic Vaccines: Are they really safe and effective? This book is more up to date, as many new vaccines have been introduced which were not covered in his earlier work.

It has a chapter on every major vaccine that addresses:
* What the disease is
* How it is contracted
* How it is treated
* The history of the vaccine
* Research regarding the vaccine's effectiveness
* Research on the vaccine's safety

He has a chapter on autism that is 60 pages long that contains charts that shows the dramatic increase in autism after the introduction of the MMR vaccine. His charts are one of my favorite aspects of his books because they make the statistics so much more powerful when you can see them illustrated visually, and he includes over 90 in this book. The autism chapter has congressional testimony given by parents of vaccine injured children that will make any parent want to do more homework on the subject prior to vaccinating. He also goes through the studies that claim there is no link between the MMR and autism. I found this particularly helpful, because I'd heard of such studies, but never knew the details. He presents a response to both studies by Dr. Andrew Wakefield. He also has a paragraph on the Homestead Health Services, which is an alternative medical facility in Chicago. The children in the practice aren't vaccinated, and of the 30,000 children they've treated, they've never seen one with autism.

One of the most disturbing themes that I saw throughout the book is that children who get a vaccine are more likely to develop a more serious case of the disease than the unvaccinated. I didn't like the fact that he used vaccine and immunization interchangeably.
