"Fooling Ourseles: on the fundamental value of vaccines"
Written by a father who made headlines in 1996 when he took his local government body to the Human Rights Commission for banning his non-vaccinated children. The presiding Commissioner described his knowledge of the subject as "almost encyclopaedic". This is his second book on vaccines.
If you believe vaccination has saved more lives and prevented more suffering than any other medical intervention in our recent history... that vaccines were magic bullets that saved us from our infectious past... that if we all stopped using them tomorrow, deaths would soar... then this book is essential reading.
"Fooling ourselves: on the fundamental value of vaccines" examines these beliefs and concludes, using official data, simple logic and illustrations, that we have indeed been fooling ourselves for a very long time.
Blow by blow, the book deconstructs the "foundation" upon which vaccines have held their court for ages. It crushes our fundamental belief. It then searches for real evidence of value. The results are startling. The author demonstrates that its supposed benefit is not borne out by the figures.
This book strikes at the heart of an antiquated procedure which, for some, has had devastating outcome. The vaccine industry indeed has a case to answer.
Written for everyone, this book strips away the technical jargon, and presents a refreshing perspective to the vaccination conundrum. A handbook -- essential reading for anyone wanting to engage in meaningful discussion on vaccines.
