You might try checking out THE VACCINE BOOK by Robert Sears, MD, a pediatrician in Capistrano Beach, CA in practice with his whole family.
He IS NOT AGAINST vaccinations but he definitely would like to inform the public about what they’re up against. It might be quite revealing for you.
I don’t think you could call him a “snake oil salesman” but then again, you probably would!
Sears? Good grief, you sure do know how to pick them. Dr. Sears isn't any different than Mercola except that he's even more dangerous. Like Mecola, Sears also fans the flames of anti-vaccine hysteria with unscientific drivel masquerading as science.
Science-Based Medicine: Cashing In On Fear: The Danger of Dr. Sears
But Dr. Bob is best known for his best-selling The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for your Child. This book, or at least notes from it, now accompanies many confused and concerned parents to the pediatricians office. Parents who have been misled by the onslaught of vaccine misinformation and fear-mongering feel comforted and supported by the advice of Dr. Sears, who assures parents that there is a safer, more sensible way to vaccinate. He wants parents to make their own informed decisions about whether or how to proceed with vaccinating their children, making sure to let them know that if they do choose to vaccinate, he knows the safest way to do it. And for $13.99 (paperback), hell share it with them.
In the final chapter of his book (entitled What should you do now?), after reinforcing the common vaccine myths of the day, Dr. Sears presents his readers with Dr. Bobs Alternative Vaccine Schedule. He places this side-by-side with the schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDCs Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. He then explains why his schedule is a safer choice for parents who chose to vaccinate their children. Without a doubt, the alternative vaccine schedule is among the more damaging aspects of this book. Its the part that gets brought along to the pediatricians office and presented as the the plan going forward for many parents today. But the book is also dangerous in the way in which it validates the pervasive myths that are currently scaring parents into making ill-informed decisions for their children. Dr. Sears discusses these now common parental concerns, but instead of countering them with sound science, he lets them stand on their own as valid. He points out that most doctors are ill-equipped to discuss vaccines with parents, being poorly trained in the science of vaccine risks and benefits. He then claims to be a newly self-taught vaccine expert, a laughable conceit given the degree to which he misunderstands the science he purports to have read, and in the way he downplays the true dangers of the vaccine-preventable diseases he discusses in his book. He then provides parents with what he views as rational alternatives to the recommended vaccination schedule, a schedule designed by the countrys true authorities on vaccinology, childhood infectious disease, and epidemiology."
The author then goes on to thoroughly document the lies of Dr. Sears. The article comes complete with pictures of children suffering horribly because of dirt bags like Sears. This is a fact based investigation of Dr. Sears. You probably won't like it because it takes issue with your basic system of beliefs. I offer it anyway.
You ridicule big pharma for making a profit but say nothing about this scum placing children at risk for a buck. You Luddites are most definitely a trip.
