    A Must See Movie Whether You Vaccinate or Not

    I went to see the documentary Vaxxed last night with my friends and fellow concerned moms and I was in shock, disbelief and anger as I watched fact after fact after fact scrolling on the screen that shows how we are being lied to about the effects of vaccines on our children. Whether you are for or against vaccination it does not matter. That is not the issue!!!! The issue is whether vaccines are safe and safely administered to our children. How many at a time? At what age? What substances do they contain? Before you start passing judgment, picketing for vaccination or lobbying that vaccines are safe, please go watch the movie and judge then for yourself!!!!

    Totally recommended

    This documentary totally opened my eyes.. The science is not settled.. and our kids are guinea pigs for Big pharma. Children are being abused at every level and will continue to be until we stand up. Great documentary.. facts are undeniable.

    The horrid Reactions to These Vaccines is Not One Big "coincidence" !!!

    Vaccination is a medical treatment administered to an otherwise healthy individual. Virtually all other invasive medical interventions occur only once someone has fallen ill. Vaccination, like most medical treatments, can involve some risk. And therefore it should be undertaken only after careful consideration of its risks versus its benefits.

    The dangers of vaccines are real, can be substantial and life-long, and for some, life ending. Additionally vaccines:

    * have not been subject to toxicity studies for many of the ingredients such as aluminum and mercury, which are known neurotoxins

    * have not been studied for adverse effects in the combinations in which they're given (multiple shots in a single day for infants and children)

    * cannot be guaranteed to provide the benefit of immunity for which they are given

    * are used to "prevent" benign childhood diseases, diseases which actually "teach" the immune system how to work properly

    Vaccines are "unavoidably unsafe" and contain "unavoidable" viruses, phages (viruses that infect bacteria), and contaminants. No other drug or medical product is similarly manufactured – if contaminants are found in them, the product is recalled. The FDA even recalls food when contaminants are found.

    Some of the viruses contaminating vaccines have a known effect, as in the case of the simian virus SV-40 that causes cancer (see Cross-Species Contamination below). Other effects are unknown. In 1975 Gena Bari Kolata wrote an article in the journal Science in which scientists at the FDA admit that all live virus vaccines are "grossly contaminated with phages," even though it was against FDA regulations at that time.

    Rather than recall the vaccines, the FDA changed the rules so that a recall wouldn't cause undue concern for parents. In 1987 the FDA decided this about vaccines: "seed virus used in manufacture shall be demonstrated to be free of extraneous microbial agents except for unavoidable bacteriophage."Bovine (cow) serum is a frequently used vaccine growth medium and the most frequently contaminated animal serums with bacteriophage.

    Vaccines have many other agents as well as the viruses and contaminants that can cause significant injury (see the full list below) to a child or adult. These injuries include brain swelling and permanent brain injury, seizures and convulsions, blood disorders, and even death. Since 1988 over 3 billion dollars in compensation has been paid by the federal government to vaccine victims. And yes, they have paid for autism.

    Studies have definitively shown that vaccines can result in autism, a disease that has increased from 1 in 10,000 in 1990, to 1 in 150 in 2000, to the current rate of 1 in 68 children. According to the CDC, the most recent numbers breakdown to 1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls diagnosed with autism.

    Enough is enough! Support this film.

    Society is finally waking up! People no longer believe the lies from these corporations, the media and the govt., all in collusion to suppress the truth about the dangers of vaccines.

    A known fraud is trying to scare parents and clear his name

    Bunch of pseudo scientific fear mongering based on an thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory. The author of this film is a known fraud who lost his medical license, this is his pitiful attempt to clear his name. He is also counting on parents seeing this movie and being afraid for the health of their children. I want to give explanations and proofs for those not familiar with this story. Andrew Wakefield is a guy who falsified his research to show that the MMR vaccine is causing autism. He was payed handsomely by lawyers suing the government on that case and so he published a report in 1998 to give them scientific base. It backfired, everyone reacted, scientists tested his research and tried to reproduce his results. It was proved deliberately falsified so he lost his license. The Dr.Thompson story is covered on the "scienceblogs" site, here in short: there was no cover-up, Hooker did a very bad study that was later retracted and the story of this movie is proved false.

    Vaxxed From Cover-Up to Catastrophe: The film they didn't want you to see? No, the film that shouldn't have been made

    Documentaries are notoriously bias, often have agendas and are best watched with a comparable documentary from the opposite side of the argument. Some documentaries though are just plain ludicrous in their subject matter and this is one of them.

    Promoting a message like this is legitimately dangerous and simply should not have been allowed. The message is as rational and as educated as advising people that prayer is a better choice for ailments than actual medical care. There are people out there who will believe this nonsense and their children will suffer and by suffer I mean very likely die! I often question why people cling to conspiracy theories. My belief is a combination of paranoia and a desperate need for life to be that little bit more exciting than it actually is.

    Vaccines have saved countless lives, eradicated ailments and do not have any connection at all to autism.

    The earth isn't 6000yrs old, the LGBT community have no "Gay agenda", chemtrails aren't a thing, the planet isn't flat, Area 51 contains no alien spacecraft and evolution is proved. Pull your collective heads out of your collective rears and don't put your children at risk over this ridiculous hysteria.

    • Trivia
      When the film was announced for the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival, documentarian Penny Lane wrote a virally-circulated letter condemning its inclusion in the lineup. Although festival head Robert De Niro defended the film's inclusion in a statement on March 25, 2016 (as he and Grace Hightower have an autistic son), the film was pulled from the line-up the next day on Tribeca's Facebook page. However, the distributor, Cinema Libre Studio, managed to book the film into the Angelika Film Center, NYC, where VAXXED was not only shown for two weeks, from April 1 to April 15, instead of the previously planned single showing on the closing night of the Tribeca Film Festival, April 23, but where the eight o'clock showing was followed by a panel discussion with Andrew Wakefield, Brian Hooker, Del Bigtree, and Polly Tommey, an autism parent and founder of the magazine 'The Autism File'.
    • Quotes

      Del Matthew Bigtree: So I had sent you what William Thompson has said is the fraud of the CDC, all that data that was missing. Did you get a chance to really look it over?

      Rachael Ross: It's... uhm... it's really unbelievable, how blatantly the data were switched around. It made me question whether or not this organization that's been mandating how I practice medicine... well, if they're lying about this, and leaving data out of this particular study, *what else am I being lied to about?*
