Yesterday I drove 90 minutes to the nearest showing of Vaxxed: From Coverup to Catastrophe.
This movie is a breakthrough in making known a widespread toxic exposure and it’s consequences, and shows how the CDC has covered up this danger instead of taking the problem vaccine off the market.
I want to be clear that this movie does NOT say ALL vaccines are harmful. It specifically shows how ONE vaccine in particular—Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine—has caused autism in far too many children. In fact, the film clearly states that the entire problem could be solved by simply giving babies single vaccines instead of this particular combination. And the response to this was that the single vaccines were taken off the market.
From the information given in the film, it is very clear that the MMR vaccine has a high risk of harm. There are two types of toxic effects: acute and chronic. Acute effect happen immediately or a very short time after—one can clearly observe the cause and effect. Chronic effects happen over time and require repeated exposures before you can see an effect.
The cause-and-effect is clear between the MMR vaccine and autism. Parents report that the child was given the vaccine and within hours began to experience a series of effects that lead to the child withdrawing from social contact, losing speech, and other indicators of autism that are clearly explained in the movie, It’s heartbreaking to watch before=and-after home movies.
It is unbelievable to me how someone could have the data about how MMR vaccine can result in so many cases of autism, and not immediately take this poison off the market. MMR vaccine was introduced in 1988, and since autism has been increasing exponentially. The film shows a graph (not this one shown below) that shows that autism used to be 1 in 10,000,in 2014 the CDC estimated 1 in 68, and within 20 years, if the graph continues, it will be 1 in 2. That’s half the children being autistic.
This breaks my heart. Thirty years ago I became disabled from toxic chemicals in consumer products I was using in my own home. And my response to that was to give my life to making others aware of this danger and showing that chemical injury can be prevented.
Near the end of the film, the CDC whistleblower goes public. But none of the major news outlets carry the story. Instead, they run a story about how there were some hundreds of cases of measles now in 27 states because parent were not vaccinating their children. And then you see that in that same year there were more than 1 million new cases of autism.
I was born in 1955. I had a vaccine. I believe it was for polio. If you want to know what vaccines you might have been given, see The History of Vaccines: Have I Been Vaccinated?
Here is the Recommended Immunization Schedule for 2016
I personally don’t think we need all these vaccines. In my opinion, we need to strengthen our immune systems, in part by reducing exposure to toxic chemicals that cause damage to the immune system.
Nature created our bodies to have the ability to defend themselves against outside invaders. We don’t need vaccines to do this.
Vaxxed: From Coverup to Catastrophe is an excellent presentation of a story that needs to be told. I hope it is only the first of many such films that show in graphic detail how toxic products we are exposed to every day are causing harm.
Again, this movie shows the need for each one of us to find out the dangers in products all around us and how to make choices that protect our health.
At the end of the film, four calls to action are given. Here’s what you can do to help: VAXXED: Take Action
Vaxxed is now being shown in selected theater, and you can also make arrangements for private screenings.
See the film and tell others about it.
This review is very powerful! Thank you for being yet another who spoke there mind about the film. I really appreciate it!:)
Thank you Debra, for your review of this important movie. I would like to add that, although there is indeed a role for vaccines, parents should inform themselves and not rely solely on medical practitioners’ advice. Anything that stimulates the immune system in an infant or very young child can have life-long consequences for brain development. I believe it is prudent to separate out all vaccines and to perhaps consider delaying them. We need to question why certain vaccines are necessary for infants. For example, there is no need for an infant to receive a vaccine for Hep B which is mainly a sexually transmitted disease. The Rubella vaccine is given to protect fetuses, and so wouldn’t it would make more sense to immunize 12-year old girls rather than 12-week old infants? The bottom line is that we can not rely on the government or other official organisms or news media, all of which have vested interests, to make these decisions for us.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, Debra, for posting this review of Vaxxed!
In April I started encouraging our local vaccine-cautious folks to ask that the film be shown in our town. Hundreds of us sent requests to our local indie theater, and I’m thrilled to report that Vaxxed not only came to town for 23 showings in the first week, it was extended to a second week (I saw it twice). Vaxxed has been called a “game-changer” and I hope and pray with all my heart that’s true.
The risks of vaccines have been covered up by vaccine makers, the CDC, and the medical industry for way too long. When I was a kid we got five vaccines. The CDC now recommends 73 from birth to 18 years of age! And they are now pushing us adults to get up-to-date on boosters throughout our lives. Each shot not only contains antigens that can easily overwhelm our immune system, but also a truck-load of toxic ingredients, many of which pass through the blood-brain barrier…heavy metals, chemicals, animal and human DNA, foods that cause allergies, and more.
And because vaccines are tested less rigorously than most drugs, and the post-release follow-up is so unbelievably poor, our children (and now adults) are the guinea pigs in a huge, profitable, risk-free pharmaceutical experiment gone awry…all under the guise of public health.
As you said, Vaxxed is not anti-vaccine; it is advocating for safe vaccines. I encourage all of your readers will see the film, either in a local theater or when it is released on video. This is an extremely important health issue and the more you learn about it, the more concerned you will be that something must be done to derail this runaway train.
For film notes, a chart comparing 1960 vs 1983 vs 2016 vaccine schedules, as well as some other information we put together for our local folks, see: https://www.organicandhealthy.com/meeting-handouts-6-1-16.pdf
Two other films on video worth seeing are Bought (view free here through June 18: http://www.boughtmovie.com/free-viewing/) and Trace Amounts http://traceamounts.com/.
Thanks Liz.
One thing that was really clear in the film was how decisions are made in our government and marketplace based on money, rather than health. It just doesn’t make sense to me in the long run for manufacturers to main and kill their customers, or for goverments to allow same to their citizens. Eventually nobody will be able to buy products or pay taxes. We will all be sick and dying.
What is best for the economy as well as for consumers and citizens is to have an abundance of safe products that support the health the population so we can all be health and happy and prosperous.
The logic behind their decisions is just all wrong.
Thank you for sharing this information. I would also recommend another very good film, Trace Amounts, which also informs how the CDC handled evidence of harm from another vaccine component, thimerosal.
Hmmm, and they both contain mercury…
